Valentino Rossi rode World Champion Eddie Lawson's Marlboro Yamaha 500 two stroke. World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea also rode a 500 two stroke. Man, I love the sound of those 500 two strokes!!!!! Those bikes are surely missed by me. I've been to Laguna Seca twice and saw Eddie Lawson, Kevin Schwantz, Mick Doohan, John Kocinski and others and also saw the Cagiva 500 two stroke which was the prettiest bike by far. It evolved into a competitive bike before they pulled out of GP racing.
