Great season battle between Roberts and Spencer. Always a massive fan of the King but you have to give credit to Freddie Spencer for the way he took the title on a bike that had only been introduced and developed the season before and was he still learning the tracks. In 1985 Spencer proved he was a class act when he won the double in 250 and 500 classes, riding twice in a day. Even Rossi has not done that.

The Yamaha V4 had the same development time as the Honda V3. Both introduced in 1982. The missing cylinder meant the Honda 3 would always be a transitory bike.
But Rossi did became World Champion in every class possible, 9 wins in total and a racing carreer that lasted 26 years. Something that Fast Freddie Spencer never achieved.

Yes Murray Walker doing the commentary, Murray is more a motorcycle man than F1 man. His father Graham Walker was a TT motorcyle racer and winner there. His father was also a commentator for the BBC doing motor sports events etc.

Lo saloei you find all the classic 500cc stuff lol! Stready Eddie was a fearsome competitor who took on the might of Honda in the US and then in the GPs, and beat them. I bet Mr Honda had bad dreams about Eddie... He even poached Freddie's legendary engineer Erv for his last title in '89, so not the most spectacular to look at maybe, but a winner that would go head to head with anyone. This is very rare footage, had not seen this before, many thanks to uploader.

Hockenheim became known as ThE "Honda,s curse"....ThE GP took place every 2 years there, alternating w. Nurburgring. In 83, Spencer was leading when this happened. In 85, Spencer was Also leading when he had a tyre failure And was caught by Sarron (Who was awesome in ThE rain that day---the greatest standing ovation from ThE motodrom ever) In 87, Gardner was Also leading when Another mechanical failure occurred In 89, Lawson lost ThE race on board ThE Kanemoto NSR to Rainey in ThE motodrom In 91, something i dont remember prevented Doohan from winning, when he was fighting Kevin And Wayne but he seemed to be in control of ThE race. 5 almost sure wins which fell through by ThE Curse

Que lucha hubo en esta carrera? Que luchas hay ahora?... He disfrutado desde 1979 las motos, y flipaba antes ...y me sigue encantando ahora. El mundial está increíble, e igual que había antes 2 cracks (en el 83)...y ninguno más, ahora hay ocho o diez que dan la vida por cada décima en pista. No hecho de menos el pasado, al menos en la top class. (Si los 250cc, pero eso es otra historia, y no precisamente culpa de Dorna, si no de los fabricantes japoneses)

As far as I can remember, Honda declared 144 HP in 1985 for ThE 4 cylinder....reckon 130 HP for the 3 cylinder in 1983. ThE First time I read ThE top speeds, It was 307 in 1991, Doohan, more or less 165-170 HP. Reckon 290 kmh in 1983, pure estimation, of course I do remember Spencer in Paul Ricard 1984 doing 304 kmh.. Also in 1993, Itoh with ThE NSR Fuel INjection managed 321, which was ThE récord moto ever. (GP moved to Schansering... whatever ThE name, sorry!!+:)

Not to add to your work load, but I'd love to be able to see your actual full race vintage motogp stuff in one group. Not sure how that is done, but if I can figure it out, I'm sure I'll pick through it over time, and try to help. Also, if you don't have it, I've got this in good quality I can share with you via google drive. (MotoGp.1982. British GP.500cc.ESPN.divx.English.divx) Not much point in my uploading it, as I've not got many followers. (I may be able to get some others, but will have to poke around and see what I can find if you're interested.) If you know how to direct message me not public, I'll give you my email address. Thanks for all the great content and work it takes to get it up there!
