Grand Prix 500: The Rainey Days - Unrideables 2 Trailer
Спорт
Coming to ITV4 on Wednesday 23rd April at 21:00, the unmissable follow-up to The Unrideables takes up the story as Wayne Rainey dominated a racing era where only one thing mattered - winning.
And that's what he did.
Locked in a week-in-week out struggle for the world championship with monster talents like Eddie Lawson and Michael Doohan, his arch-rival and nemesis was the gangly Texan Kevin Schwantz. Their story is the two-wheeled equivalent of Hunt and Lauda or Prost and Senna - but on a race bike the stakes are higher.
Archive footage of some of the greatest motorcycle races ever takes you right back to the height of the action and the heat of battle as racers risked everything on lightweight high performance racing bikes that behaved with unpredictable violence.
In the end they all paid a price - Doohan with his shattered leg, Schwantz with two smashed wrists, Rainey, trapped in a wheelchair after he crashed out chasing a fourth consecutive world title.
With contributions from the riders, the managers, the journalists and the team PR men, Unrideables 2 gets under the skin of an era long before health and safety changed the way we think and the way we race.

How sad we will never see the likes of this again. My absolutely favorite time of motorcycling.
The biggest men on the biggest beast of a bike you could ever imagine. I remember riding a '86 TZR250 years ago and remembering how it scared the crap out of me. The 250 had only an inkling of the power that the 500's put out. Raw power, super lightweight, no electronics, the rider, the bike and the pavement (hopefully the right side up!) These guys are the best riders ever, Rainey, Lawson, Schwantz, Doohan... Just to name a few. Can't wait to watch this.
Real bikes and truly the greatest riders of all time. 500cc two-strokes in their prime. No racing bike on earth will ever replace them. Makes MotoGP today look like SHIT!. Bring back the glory years.

EXACTLY!!! SCARY ERA... I DREAM ABOUT KEVIN SCHWANTZ WITH HONDA NSR 500 V4...
My childhood heroes, along with Freddie Spencer. Time flies!
Someone should make a movie about these legends
Nothing will ever top those years of Shwantz, Rainey, Lawson, Gardener and Doohan, We can't forget The Sarron Brothers, Christian and his highsides wow, Chilli at his home GP being booed by the rest of the field because of the wet Track, Those Bikes were Animals, Massive respect to all of you for putting on a show like that...i'll shut the fk up now :-)
The genuine 24-karat Golden Era.
Damn, I wish this played in the states.

Very nice! thanks
I approve of this product/and or service.
FUCKKKK YEAHHHH !!!!👍😎👍👍👍
Will there be a part 3?
Fantastic news, and begs the question will it become part of a series? Looks like plenty of opportunity for mid 90's through to the late 90's, where "Faster: The Movie" begins. Just awesome, if this is part 2 of a 4~5 part series!
Lo mejor

makes me want to go ride my Gamma, what a shame Yamaha didn't make a proper race rep like Suzuki

cybergamma they did. TZR 3MA and 3XV
I hope it will be a little bit longer than the first part. That was quite disappointing
Shut up and take my money already
Great video apart from the horrendous music , people are talking if I wanted to listen to music I would have watched a music channel. 😡
