Cool videos with a few future world champions in the second video. Seeing Rainey on a Honda seems so wrong. lol.

Great Old School videos Klax.... Love watching the old school GP stars! 

Whatever happened to the Daytona 200? It used to be the one race that all motorcycle racers wanted to win above all else.... Do modern motogp riders even bother to take part nowadays?

I think they ruined Daytona 200 when they put the chicane in to slow the bikes down.... Same with so many other tracks around the world - Health and Safety gone MAD!

We should have a Daytona 200 Old School event for GPBikes..... Would be great if the track is okay?  Especially if someone can rebuild the track back to original before it had the chicane!

They still do the Daytona 200 every year. Just doesn't have the importance that it once did it seems.

I've used the GP Bikes versions of Daytona 200, and Daytona Oval. The oval is kind of boring to race on. The 200 version there is a couple spots with invisible bumps that you hit that unsettle the bike and can make you fall.
