VIDEO: The 500 GP 1990cc in Brou
We return to the era of the mighty 500cc two-strokes. In 1990, these extremely powerful “big bores” were equipped with a power valve. The power delivery is rough and not for everyone. There is no accounting for taste, but the sound of these two-strokes is impressive to say the least.
It is Kawasaki, KTM and Honda who are making a bid for a world title in the premier class of motocross. The leading roles are played by Billy Liles, Dave Thorpe, Jacky Martens, Dirk Geukens, Kurt Nicoll and especially Eric Geboers. In the French town of Brou, located somewhere between Chartres and Le Mans, The Kid wins the first series and finishes fifth in the reprise. He still wins the GP and is crowned world champion at the Citadel of Namur in August.
