I'm not really into bikes, more of a car guy but this is a very cool video with some great camera work groutaone. I'm also enjoying all your project updates as well, keep up the great work!
At first I thought it was kinda long for a video but when watching I found it seemed like a lot shorter so I left it, glad to hear it went fast for you too
i love the number 51, a 1990 cr500 i think...just rolling over that hill like it was easy,wow!... that guy knows his bike better than he knows his own face...and he didnt stand up, wheely or anything...your bike gets best traction when your butt is pushing down on the seat and you need to keep you center of gravity low...i watched him 6 times
I have a random question about the length you decide to make the wheelbase... I notice there is a great amount of adjustment available. Basically, how do you decide how long the chain/wheelbase needs to be for a given event?
you have shown me that if a person likes to race the cr 500 is the best machine as this bike is a contender on the street or in the dirt, in the summer or in the winter! kind of a swiss army knife when racing can happen, doesnt matter where or when the cr 500 is ready to go!
You can tell who will make it to the top just by how they handle that first little jump. The ones that make it and are smooth clearly have mx or significant off-road experience.
KX500...holy crap they are sexy....so so so nice and KING of the 500 2-strokes!!!! (except maybe the YZM500!) I like that hand-coned pipe on the KX around the 2:12 mark I believe.
Hey grouta, i think the fact that they climb in high gear doesnt help them for the rollovers. If they where in lower gear the fact that the wheel is spinning like hell and not grabbing wouldnt help them to climb whithout rollingover? When i do hillclimb with my Rm 250 2 stroke i always do it in 2 or 3, i dont like using the tork on a 2 stroke i prefer the high powerband. Sry for my poor english, im from QC.
Groutaone.kx500 madman here enjoy your vids .Your 500 at.you have honda racing on your clutch cover. what mods did you have done to 500hundee motor Have an 88 KX500 with few mods love it.
+Brian Jacobsen Thanks for watching, the CR has a bored cyl just to clean it up and about 5 min worth of porting at the base of the jug, the clutch cover I found on ebay thought it looked kind of nifty
Great video man, was invited her by cubee and ck, and I had a quick browse around your channel and you have some great stuff. Definitely worth a sub. :)
you can tell that the rider at 2:20 is out to kill- awesome
I love the guys style on the 895 kx500!
1:20 That kawabunga power kicks in!!!
This hill is sick. Great videos sir.
I bought a 1986 Honda CR500 new at the dealer in 1986. What a rocket !! and great fun.

That was a awesome and amazing sound to my ears
Nice video of some good hill climbing, there are so few..
I wonder if people still use the old Maico 490s on hill climbs?
I love the older video with all the 2stroke motor's kx CR-500s!!!! race's hill climbs and motocross and supermoto!!!!
Only if i could smell it too...
Amazing! I like your videos Saludos desde Argentina!

This video is awsome!
I appreciate you watching, thanks
I like how they throttled past the finish.
Aloha
another great vid man
Big thanks
Thanks for watching, I do appreciate it
Outstanding!
In Billings? Not sure but maybe if someone out there reads this they can let us know
Thanks
Love the hook to lift the bike at the end
Thanks for that
I like them, I have many more hours riding four stroke over the years than two but I sure like my 500
so in a race, who wins? cr500 or kx500? that would make an excellent hemlet cam video! lots of great vids groutaone thanks for the uploads!

My first bike was a Honda 77 XL75 on/off bike, then a 78 KD175, 79 XL250, 79 XR500, 83 CR250, 84 CR500 and then the CR500 I have today
sweet video man!!!! i rode every bike but a 500 , if i could take a 2013 crf450r or a cr500af like yours , i would the cr500af any day no joke
Thanks for watching
Nice use of music - starts when the bikes stop. well done.
Thanks for your comment
2 strokes might rev higher but you can always change the gearing around on the 450 and have more low end power
Grouta, good stuff. I have a feeling from all these videos you will be attempting this soon.... ?
You have to love a big boar 2 stroke. The tractor of the dirtbike world they just keep pulling.
These guys are very talented riders. I wouldnt even want to try that
Thanks man, glad you had a look around, big thanks for the sub
Yep it is
love that sound, where was this taken?
You're damn right it is!
Love your videos :)
All thanks to the organizers, the Billings motocycle club, they were real nice to me and let me film from these great spots
the 24 black and white 500 got some big air at the top!!!! I think that was the best one LOL......
I was wondering what bikes did you start on like a 85 2 stroke and go up from there?
This was in Billings Montana
I have a random question about the length you decide to make the wheelbase... I notice there is a great amount of adjustment available. Basically, how do you decide how long the chain/wheelbase needs to be for a given event?
David Harris Length will be determined by the rules of the event
gotta love the 2t! BRAAAP BRAAAAAPPPP!!!!
nice video again as usual! :-) how is the snow there ?
what do you think is a better bike the cr500 or the kx 500? thanks
@Groutaone at exactly 58 seconds can u tell me were I can get a tire. Like that thanks
Its right next to the nightmare hill but I think they have a different name for this one
Sangar tenannn 👌
You've got very good bike handling! You dont see everytime some one master a 500 2 stroke perfect
In fact it is a steep hard hill to beat, not like the nightmare hill but steeper than it looks
It's called Dominator
Hey Grout, did you get them PM about the shirt? Just making sure it got sent
You know you do a great job at recording I may be buying so dirt bike gear off you!
My home town. Ill have my 500 out next year

Nice! What are your opinions on four strokes?
You can tell who will make it to the top just by how they handle that first little jump. The ones that make it and are smooth clearly have mx or significant off-road experience.
KX500...holy crap they are sexy....so so so nice and KING of the 500 2-strokes!!!! (except maybe the YZM500!) I like that hand-coned pipe on the KX around the 2:12 mark I believe.
500 2 strokes make more hp and more torque ?
is that the great amaricam hillclimb in billings
were any of them running paddle tires?
trop nice tes vidéo mec... Moi je suis proprio d'une Suzuki LTR 450R et je trippe aussi sur les cross lache pas mon gars..
damn!!! these 2stroke bikes sound like chainsaws ! HOT SOUND !
I love this vid, Honda and kawasaki at there best
Wow...... 2:38 he nailed it!!!
What gears do they run in or through?
Hey grouta, i think the fact that they climb in high gear doesnt help them for the rollovers. If they where in lower gear the fact that the wheel is spinning like hell and not grabbing wouldnt help them to climb whithout rollingover?

Look at all that top soil. If it was here it would be all rocks!
momentum vs gravity- a tough one!!
that five minutes went fast :D
Gotta love those 5hundos!
huge props to the guys who catch the bikes lol
did these 500s actually came out or are they just self made bikes
Power. Band
Just subbed man
Damn these guys have some serious balls
Great video man, was invited her by cubee and ck, and I had a quick browse around your channel and you have some great stuff. Definitely worth a sub. :)
I agree. CR500 badest thing on dirt haha. Scary but oh so fun.
What is the background song?
I love that there was a 250 in this. Or one of them were running a 250 pipe
That kx is a toooool !
