This is the dirt bike battle we've all been waiting for! 2023 YZ500 vs 700cc 2 Stroke vs 450 Four Stroke. It's finally time to see which bike is the king of them all and the supreme MX machine! In the ultimate 2 stroke battle we see the Megalodon 700 go head to head against the YZilla 500, and then we see the Big Bore beasts go toe to toe versus the KX450 race bike. But first the YZILLA must take on a bunch of four strokes...Who have you got for the win in this ultimate Motocross drag race?
In this video we're going to put our very special YZ500 head-to-head against our one-of-a-kind 700cc
two-stroke monster. It's time to decide which one of these two beasts is the king of speed.
It's drag race time. With our drag races we can't just jump straight into the main event,
so I've organized some warm-up bouts for the YZILLA. I've got my friends Alan and Sean on board,
we've gathered an array of four-strokes to feed to the beast. The drag strip is ready,
so let's get the bike started. Let's get racing.
So here we are. I am on board the YZILLA YZ500. You don't know what this bike is.
This is a legitimate modern-day Yamaha 500 two-stroke. It's not CR500 engine squeezed
into a YZ250 chassis. We turn an ordinary YZ250 into this beast using the awesome
brand new BRC Racing YZM500 kit. That's what this bike is. It's an absolute animal, a beast,
a gorgeous thing to behold. We're going to give the YZILLA a little bit of a feeding
first. We're starting with some four-strokes before we make it up to the big 700 main event.
So first up is this KTM 250 EXC. Let's feed it to the beast.
Are you ready, Sean? Ready for this, yeah? I'm waiting for the YZILLA.
Oh my, I nearly flipped it. I made a terrible start for me there. Just spinning up out of the
gates. Bit in the mid-range there. Just pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling. Managed to
get it done. It has to be said that the KTM 250 was worryingly close to the YZILLA in that first
bout. Now I do think that's partly because we started with a wet and soggy surface,
meaning it was difficult to get the power down on the big 500. But as a wise man once told me,
we want results, not excuses. Up next then for the YZILLA, the next item on the menu
is the big KX450, ridden by the one and only Alan Joyce. Let's see what
our beastie can do against a four-banger race machine from Kawasaki.
Every beast needs a mean set of teeth, and luckily for us, the YZILLA has just been hooked up by our
friends at 24MX. 24MX are a global motocross parts and accessories distributor, and they stock
some of the dirt bike world's leading brands, as well as some of their very own products.
We've just begun an ongoing collaboration with 24MX, where we're going to feature some of their
products on our bikes and in our videos. And I'm also so excited to say that we'll be able to offer
you guys some awesome discounts on these trick bits as well. For example, these wicked titanium
pegs that the YZILLA is now sporting. These pegs are a thing of beauty. They've been hand welded
with super sharp teeth for maximum grip. Titanium is 55% lighter than steel, so as well as looking
factory, we've also got that added weight saving benefit. These pegs are already on the 24MX site
at an insanely tempting price at the moment, but I can offer you guys an extra 10% off if you use
our promo code MAX10. I'll leave a link to those in the description down below. A massive thanks
goes out to 24MX for supporting the channel. Without our partners, we wouldn't be able to make
awesome videos like this one. So if you're in the market for a quick and easy way to trick up your
bike, you've definitely got to check these out. Now let's go eat some four strokes. So the race
against the KX450 race bike was almost a dead heat at the finish line. The Kawasaki was very strong
at the top end, but the mighty YZILLA was just able to hold on for the win, making it 2-0 for
Team Two Stroke. We've got one more four banger ready and waiting to take on the YZILLA, so let's
do it. Okay, so now it's 500 versus 500. KTM four stroke versus YZILLA two stroke. Sean Smith
has control of the KTM 500 for this one. Let's see if I can beat him in the quarter mile,
baby. Luckily we're not racing for pink slips today.
The victory! Yeah, Two Stroke gets the victory today!
So you guys know that Wolfsport have supported this project and helped make the YZILLA possible.
We've collaborated with Wolfsport to make this t-shirt. It's very limited, so check out the
link in the description down below if you want to join the YZILLA family and support the project.
Like I said guys, these shirts really are limited, so be quick about it. The more we can show love
and support to the companies that support the channel, means that the projects that we can
all work on in the future will only get bigger and better. The KTM 500 failed to muster up a
challenge for the YZILLA. Our beast ate the orange machine for breakfast, but the real challenge
is coming up next. He looks on that bike. Oh sorry, Sean. Right, so here we go then. It's
the main event. The time for the main event. The YZILLA up against the Megalodon 700 Two Stroke,
who will be the king, big boar machine, the champion of speed. We're about to find out.
Time for the main event.
Seeing as this is the main event, and because these beasts can be so hard to tame out of the
gates, we've decided to make this bout a three moto affair. It's a moment we've all been waiting
for. Who's your money on? Just destroyed a Megalodon. What happened there? The YZILLA took
victory in the first run. Best of three though. So let's see. Victory to the YZILLA for now then.
The Megalodon struggling to put power to the ground in a race start. Sean nearly flipped the
beast in race one. Can he get the power down and keep the Megalodon under control the second time
around? Let's find out. Good run. I don't think the Megalodon can get the power to the ground.
But the sun has come out to shine on my glory, on the YZILLA's glory.
What a beast. Is this bike really the king of the big boar two strokes? Let's find out.
Run three. As we got ready for our third matchup, Sean told me that he had a new game plan. He was
going to try a third gear start. Will it work? Well, it's his last chance for glory. Megalodon wins
on a dead heat start. So when the Megalodon can put the power to the ground, she's an animal.
So in a head-to-head matchup, it was 2-1 to the YZILLA. But as we just saw,
the Megalodon is a rocket ship if she can get the power to the ground.
So to crown our ultimate champion, we've organised one final race.
So we've had the main event, 500 versus 700. Now we've got something a little bit extra for you.
Myself on the YZILLA, Sean on the Megalodon and Alan on the KX450.
Will the two strokes conquer the world today or will it be a four stroke massacre? Let's find out.
So in a one and done race, which machine do you have your money on?
Leave me your guesses in the comments down below.
What a way to spend a Sunday, right boys? That was pretty fun, right? The bikes, two strokes
a beast. I mean, these things are just wild. As always guys, a big thanks to Wolfsport. Remember
there's a link in the description down below if you want to pick up one of these t-shirts
that the boys are sporting here. I think they look pretty good. But as always, my name is Max,
that's Sean, that's Alan. Until next time, we'll see you at the track.
Thanks as always for watching guys. Remember to check out our sponsors and partners in the

there. As always, my name is Max, this is 999 Laser. Until next time, we'll see you at the track.
