Drooling over Jr's new frame up 1989 Honda CR 500! Gonna look amazing with Christie's graphics on there. Had to check my garage to make sure my 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke 350cc Kenny Robert's Streetbike was still in there! 😂😂😂😂......Awesome Video. Congrats to Jr for selling 20 + bikes on Monday. That is freaking amazing! ML&R. ❤
@@KaplanCyclesAwesome. My buddies that I turned on to y'all, embarrass me and call me famous. I tell them the only famous, super talented, Patriotic and Humble people, are the people in the videos.

How much money does a person have to contribute to have their name on a plaque that hangs on the Museum Wall? Asking, because I've thought alot about doing it one day.

Beautiful bike, I had an 89 cr 80 when I was a kid, that bike kicked harder than most I've owned after that. But then I weighed about 90 pounds back then also
Four strokes have ruined motocross. The average kid can go buy a bike Roger Decosta and AMA could’ve shut the four strokes down that’s my professional opinion.
89.....my birth year. I'll own one of those beauty's one day. A promise to myself. ❤ i love hondas. And i love Kaplan America! Rrrrrriip yer house off the foundations!!!❤
The bike looks tight junior! Love the change to the red seat! I've got an 89 CR500 myself. Just vintage Motocrossed that last weekend. Everywhere I go I feel like a rockstar because people just love that bike!
Sherco also produces 2 stroke carbureted, French Spanish brand. amazing machines. Also rieju mr 300, spanish brand. Congratulations Kaplan for showing us these wonderful motorcycles. God bless you Greetings from Spain.

and the scooptire is the best , i have it on my 500 and it works great in the sand !! the grip is fantastic , low weelspin and i can feel exactly wenn she is pulling ( hope i wrote this correct )haha
I literally just had a flashback. I could smell the smoke lol that thing is nasty! She's popping off like she has some serious power, love the sound of a fresh high compression 2 stroker 🎉
I love two-stroke Tuesday 250 lb pressure. That's nuts. Absolutely mind-blowing wizard and the whole rest of the team. Kaplan cycles is the King of Ping you will all never meet more friendlier people than them Best in the business gas gas number one RRRRRRRRRIP THE HOUSE OFF THE FOUNDATIONS 💪 131 cubic inch. That thing is a beast badass sir. Badass Mind-Blowing 144 horsepower. I love the sound. What a black beauty ❤️
Had a cr and a kx back in the day and both bikes ended up sold for that exact reason, just too damned mental to ride in the woods. 500 seems like a good idea until you try to spend a day in the woods on one
Now your speaking my language 💪 love it ! I’ve been waiting for some cash to come my way, when it hits I’m getting mine . AJ Built 500 is the pinnacle but I’d love one of these too . I guess I’m just gonna have to fill my garage with 500 two stroke goodness 😃😃😃
Hold the hell up boys! I believe we have change up in the order of the top ten Kings of Ping! I’ll be going over the top 10 with this bike and the Robby Knievel bike and I will get back to you shortly letting you know in which order they will fall in and of course two bikes will be bumped out cause you can only have 10 bikes in the Top Ten Kings of Ping!!! I have to say that there is probably 20 different brands of pipes and styles but the FmF pipes seems to be carrying some of the Meanest Pings but I’m not gonna let that have any impact on the order they fall in. I will be using the way you felt when you climbed the flag pole as a kid system to determine the number one position as I listen to each bike and the closest one to it will be the winner. WJ is signing off to begin the King of Ping challenge 🤘🏻
That TUF racing sticker on Robbie’s bike takes me back to late 80s when I first got into bikes. Rember watchin him ride that bike on a tv show jump back in the day. Recognized it soon as you boys got it..
Man, you guys really know how to trick out a bike. I know bikes. I know what I'm looking at. 65 year old former professional motorcycle mechanic, former racer and overall enthusiast. If it has 2-wheels and a motor. Count me in.
I'm pretty sure that 1989 was the 1st year Honda inverted the front forks!,That Beast looks like it just came out of a time machine after it rolled off the assembly line in Japan!!!,Wish they would start making them like that again!!!!🤪
@@hoobaleenyo, That's ridiculous. That's like saying Mecum or Barret-Jackson "skyrocketed" the price of 1967 Shelby GT350 Fastbacks. Rare is rare, and either you can afford it or you can't. Go buy a used and heavily thrashed CR500 and see how much money and man-hours it takes to make it look and run like this one.
Outstanding Cpt America what a rippsnorta of a bike ,having said that a member of our motorcross club here in Australia had the fastest most powerful 500cc two stroke ive ever ridden ,it was beyond my limits and id say it would give any 500cc single cylinder two stroke a run for its money ,rare bird as it was a Cagiva mid 1980s ,maybe it was a rebranded KTM or Husqvarna as way back then there wasnt much information on a odd mx bike like that down under ,be cool if you could get something like that in your inventory ,love the channel best on earth
For those stadium-style front number plates -- where they ziptie to the fork outer tubes -- how are you guys preventing the fork anodizing from getting chewed up? Just bought a '15 YZ250 with a stadium plate and heavy abrasion on the fork legs there.
For some reason I haven't had any coffee for a week or more and no booze for 6 months and 1 week. This Kaplan America Senior guy has some magical influence. I would have to sew my balls back on in order to throw a leg over that big 500 though.
How do I contact your sales team please......I want a YZ125 talk about what year when we speak please please please answer my message Thank you guys You have passion for these amazing machines 💙 😀
We can't just order anything but a new YZ125 when it comes to the older ones it's hit or miss feaster famine we take what we can get but if you want to put an order in for one will call you as soon as we get one
That bike looks great without graphics

Thank you Gunny!
She sounds so wonderful. Clean crisp and beautiful
Indeed!
@KaplanCycles someday I am going to visit your museum. Hopefully you and Jr will be there I'd love to meet you.

You're right 💯 nothing like a big bore 2stroke I've owned a few & survived 🤣🤙👍

270 pounds of compression? How does the crank and rod stay together?
I think they were joking guys 😂
@RealHooksy
They weren't kidding. I put the squeeze to this one.
If it sounds this good just idling on the video, I bet it's beastly in-person.
YOU MEN (TOTAL BADASSES) ARE IN A CLASS OF YOUR OWN. FACTS %100
Thats sounds amazing.... textbook two stroke
SEND IT! STRAIGHT TO MY FRONT DOOR 😂. MUCH LOVE FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺. GOG BLESS 2SMOKERS
That idle sounds so nice 😮💨
Some people have no idea how much power the cr 500 has unless you've taken it out for a rip.
I describe it as the most ridiculous vehicle I’ve ever ridden or driven.
Carl knows. Lmao 😅

Agreed… Short shift, finger on the clutch, cover the rear brake, point her where ya want to go and mind the Throttle…👍🏻😎👍🏻🥇🏆
A noticeable amount less than a KTM550MXC..late 80s model
Sweet Jeeeeesus. That is a holy machine straight from the MotoGods. 👀🔥🏁
Have to put this as my ring tone!!!!! Ping a ding ding!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Dang that's crisp as hell
Two stroke Tuesday keeps me going..👍🦅🇺🇸

2 strokes rock

NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put some clear #plate background where they contact the forks. Or any sort of "buffer" for the forks.

But does it do wheelie's though? Haha!
Omg I’m in love……
Damn 89‘s on my dream bike list
I settle for a 250 though , don’t know if I’m man enough for a 500 in my old age 😂
It really is mind boggling the amount of insane bikes that live and owned at the new england motorcycle museum.
thanks very cool indeed
Looks good with no stickers all over it
I would not even ride this widow maker!
So sick
I wanna see what it does on the dyno love from the netherlands
I can smell race fuel through my phone.
Will you get CRE250 AND CRE500 they are enduro versions of cr beautiful bikes!!!!
Bad mamajama!
Badass 🎤
Crispy!
Love 2 strokes brp brp
Nice!
Any difference in power with FMF vs pro circuit silencer? Shorty or longer style?
Alot after market parts. A bit to much color. Nice bike
yamahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rz 350 film super bike de los 80!!!
Hey kaplan quick question out of all the 450 4 strokes that you’ve rode what was the fastest feeling one? Honda? Yamaha?
Yamaha
How much power did it make?!
i love it
Sweet
🔓 nice and nasty 🍿 popcorn maker…this is the nastiest CR I’ve seen thus far
Thang sounds nasty…..🦅👍🇺🇸
How many hours will that engine last for at that compression rate?
80+ hours, it's not a high revving engine
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

Sweeeet bike! 👍🏾

@KaplanCycles cool 😎 thank you for your reply....Lol I'm a bit blonde so forgive my ignorance do you have an email address please to contact you 😀
My guess is 72 hp
Are those the 89 cases? If they are your really pushing the boundaries of breaking cases if it truly has 270lb of compression.
dat RZ, tho....
wana race a billet cased CPI 380cc trx250r..80hp outta the box.
Any time
Bet you $1,000 it dont have 80 at the wheel on our dyno
I'll make that same bet as Kaplan.
Vallejo?
Huh? 🤔
I love my 360 ktm. Its mean.
Get a 2024 or 2025 maico 700
Where have you been where did you did that one last month😊😊
