That today a motorcycle with almost 20 years behind it, such as the 2006 Suzuki RM250, is the protagonist of a video, is already enough incentive to proceed to press play. We have never hidden ourselves and although we love the latest technological advances and the work that brands do to advance both in performance and safety, two-strokes have a lot of space in our hearts.
But the thing is that the Suzuki RM250 does not drive itself and at its controls is Carson Brown, capable of piloting it like an angel, demonstrating what a motorcycle from two decades ago and with technology that today is considered obsolete is capable of. or only for romantics.
Seeing the way in which Brown does real mischief with the Suzuki RM250, which by the way has the enduro front, is enough to make it worth enjoying the video because, in addition, the soundtrack is sublime. Hearing the single-cylinder two-stroke engine giving its all is a sight for the ears.
And just finishing off the play, Carson Storch appears, who instead of flying with a motorcycle, does it with a bike. It’s not the first time we’ve seen a moto-bike, but the crossed jumps, the acrobatics, how close they are to each other, and the plants and planes are perfect. Just over two and a half minutes of pure magic.
Behind the scenes of the Suzuki RM250 Vs bike duo shows the harsh reality
Although the most curious thing about this video is not the video itself, but rather how it was made is a reflection of what we never see when everything is perfect. We are used to seeing the final result, we have seen the attempts before, but the strange thing is to see how everything is prepared and this video gives us the opportunity.
Compared to two and a bit minutes, almost a quarter of an hour with Stroch and Brown reviewing everything and going back in time to see all the work, hard work, that goes into everything. Weeks of preparation for a video with many people and machines working and changing the terrain.
And all this without seeing the paperwork and all the other things behind it, but which make it clear that behind a cool video or an eye-catching photo there is much more work than one can imagine. Now you know why a 25 centilitre “tin” of soda costs almost one and a half euros. You have to pay for all this, because the “wings” do not come free…
