Kevin Schwantz 1989 Pepsi Suzuki RGV 500 - No other bike looks as bad-ass, rides as brutal or is even close as iconic as this machine is.

But then the rider! - few other riders can match Mr Kevin James Schwantz's style and flare both on and off the circuit. 'Joie de vivre', a warm feeling in the heart is what any spectator will get when watching any race Kevin competed in during his career in the 1980's and 90's. A true legend.

From the iconic colour schemes of the 1989 Pepsi Suzuki to the Lucky Strike RGV500 1993, to some of Kevin's moments, such as Wayne Rainey vs Kevin Schwantz, Kevin Schwantz Vs Mick Doohan, Kevin Schwantz 1993 Hockenheim, Kevin Schwantz wheelie, it's difficult to say what exactly are Kevin Schwantz best moments, they were all truly fantastic from that golden era of 500cc GP racing.

In this video we are so privileged to be able to ride and comment on the only 1989 Pepsi Suzuki which is running, left in the World. This bike has only ever previously been ridden by Kevin, nobody else!

In part 2 of this PetrolRevolt feature, we have a Kevin Schwantz interview, where we get to learn a few insights about each RG500 Kevin rode across the years up to the 1993 RGV 500.

So sit back, put the volume on the maximum and listen to the 2stroke RG500 engine howl.
