Wow, that is super cool! I rode an '85 CR500 almost everyday for years. It had an FMF pipe and it had all the ports matched, smoothed and cleaned up. It would wheelie on throttle at any speed and in any gear. Best days of my life!
Man that sounds awesome
Wish I still had my 87 CR500. It was pristine when I sold it in 05. The guy couldn't get it in his truck fast enough. I knew I blew it as soon as I saw it drive away....
Two stroke are so much better I love my ohlins and brembo equipped 300 cc whippet power to weight is something else I'd buy this bike I've been looking at maico but those brothers cost a man his mobility and all to take control of the company so they ain't getting my money this looks great
@@0141star that maico 700 smoker has got to be somthing to ride
@@convex7456 your absolutely right the maico is incredible to ride I just wouldn't buy from them because of the backstabbing brother who took over the company after causing a rider to be paralysed he refused to have the parts heat treated and other cost saving measures it was sabotage really from the brother and a rider got hurt very badly due to the rear(non treated) hub I believe it was
Just an FYI motorcycle videos don't need a music sound track. The exhaust note from that 500cc engine is all that is necessary.
Kevin Newell right! That is what we want!!! Dammit!!!
Amen. But...people get overly creative. Nobody wants to hear music over the sound of the engines. Nobody
That plus the music was mixed too loud. One couldn't hear/understand much of the rider's commentary because it was edited to have the music louder than the bike and the commentary.
100% 😂👍🏽

Legend says he never felt the powerband
You Sir are my hero. Couldnt have articulated it any better!
stephen john gray ok old man, take your pills please
so epic! More to come soon. we have alot of snow falling right now...
hahahaahaha
I have a xcw 300 and I can attest to the 70 mph wobble but I think it's just the front wheel out of balance. I'm going to have to look into it
Smooth linear power, no vibration, electric start, rekluse clutch, sounds like they have removed all the things that made these beasts such a thrill to ride, I have owned a few and still have a 85cr500, its a monster and seems to fight you as u ride it, it's kinda like a circus lion, most of the time it performs like it should, but at any moment without warning it tries to kill you, wouldn't have my 500 smoker any other way,
You my friend understand what makes a 2 stroke a love to own!
One thing I didn't like to see was the powervalve. It's not quite modern-tech and I thought it should doubly be a more classic feel than a 4-stroke. Can do away with the rekluse. I do not mind elec. start and no vibration - those weren't thrilling parts of the bike lol, those were genuine fears.
Thank you! Someone gets it
I dont think ill would miss tightening up every nut and bolt on my 95 cr500 everytime i ride it. 😂
@@gregclayton8831 I wonder of drilling and lockwiring them would help with vibration.. or would the lockwires vibrate like micro guitars strings until they fatigue snap?
Too much talking not enough riding. Finally see the bike been ridden only to be dissapointed by seeing it ridden slowly. Big open tracks is where the 500s belong
Exactly! Why did they test ride a 500 CC bike in the fuckin' woods????
Doug Fergus Because it's an enduro bike...
It’s a testament to the way it delivers its power that it can be ridden well in such terrain. Gotta admit I was wanting to see it scream out of turn though.
Yah! Bored watching.. So hilarious in his entrances
To be of ANY advantage whatsoever there needed to like long ass uphill sections where you could make up on the lost time in the tight stuff ...500 2 bangers were definitely harder to work with for mere mortals ...just too much unusable power in most sections...a hinderance
Such a solid interview and review without any bullshit we didn't need to know. Awesome!
I love the look of the hand built 2stroke pipes unpolished, beautiful!
Was a very young very proud owner of a 1982 495 ktm. Air cooled single shock over square bore and stroke two spark plug monster. Loved it.
Should of Ripped it full throttle through all gears across that wide open field
RIPPER vlogs Yorkshire I agree not the place I would test a two stroke more like out in the foot hills big rollers wide open !
Keep your feet on the pegs and your right hand cranked
N Moran I agree would love to see it in a drag race with a couple of other 500cc 2 strokes
I ran a cr500 down the freeway. Changed my life.
i was gonna say .... just rip it down a street lol
@@nicky87lhm I have lined my cr500 up with the so called holeshot artist on a tricked out rm 250 and embarrassed the shit out of him. I dragged a yz450 on the blacktop and took him too. It was pretty close though. We did some roll ons too. Took him everytime

:59 This bike is set up for 1 goal to go fast AND kick some ass......isn't that 2 goals?
Damn a good TH-cam channel from my area. At the start I was like huh that looks like the 'bible camp staging' haha. Wicked!
I'd love to see this done to a full blown MX bike and ridden against the best 4 strokes by a competent rider. Bikes like this could be the new premier class.
Its slow as shit, any modern 450 will blow this things door off. My boy built one and has over 30K in it.... and its the slowest bike of all the bikes we ride with. Terrible motor, complete waste of money.
@@shawnszep4941 I disagree...I had a CR500 and I now own a KTM 500EXC. That Honda would eat my KTM alive with that motor. Why do you think they use 450's in the old 250 class? Do you even know the difference between a 4 stroke and a 2 stroke? The 2 has a power stroke every other rotation of the flywheel. Guess how many times the 4 stroke goes around for each power stroke? That's why it takes twice the displacement on a 4 to equal the HP of a 2. If your boy spent $30k building a slow 2 stroke, then perhaps he should stick to bingo.
@@dh-flies I was thinking maybe he was referring to this KTM in the video. Surely he is not calling CR&KX 500s slow??? If so wow!!
The AMA won’t allow 2 strokes to come back by limiting them to 250cc to run with 450cc. The 2 stroke wouldn’t even need 500cc, I would think it could easily be done with 350cc or less. If the AMA would allow 300-350cc 2 strokes they would be out there and would dominate. Which would in turn bring back the popularity. 2 strokes are making a comeback. 10 years ago I could pick up nice YZ250s for 1000/1500 bucks. Now you need 4K for a nice YZ250
@@shawnszep4941 are you referring to this KTM in the video?? Your friend owns one? And it’s slow?? if so wow that’s crazy a 500 2 stroke being slow. If so they must have really went to far trying to tame it.
It was nice to hear the designer talk about his creation and also see the bike riding offroad.
A modern 250 2T is more than enough for me😀.... But still, cool product 👏👏👏👏
Even the 125's are scary, and I'm used to 150bhp road bikes!
Paul Oshea it’s all about how the power is delivered street bikes don’t have a big hit like proper motocrossers. Making them feel safer even though it will do well over the top speed of most Dirtbike’s in second or third gear
OMG I so want one of these. I'm currently restoring an '86 CR500 right now. I have 7 other bikes in the stable, one of which is a 2014 Husaberg TE300 which would be perfect for this built. I bought a 2017 FX350 this year which has been my goto since, so the Berg just sits there. Cannot think of a better use for it right now. I'll be following this closely. Thanks for posting this video.
Aint nothing like smell of bean oil on a sunday morning
Thanks - didn’t even know BRC was building these! Have friends here in Utah that love KTM 2smokers-this would be a huge upgrade!
there was an article in dirt wheels or 3 and 4 wheel action back in the late 80s where Honda was testing an ATC 500R counter balanced engine when all the lawsuit's started, ban on 3 wheelers and the project was scrapped.
I remember reading the test riders saying it was unreal.
Legend has it theres a few privately owned ATC 500's in in collection
I really enjoyed watching this vt, it was Informative, laid back, and humble. A real good piece of thorough Documentation. Thanks for putting it together!....
500 2 stroke efi snow bike ! Yes please! I've been looking for more power for my snow bike and here it is close to home .
It is hard to take you serious with those glasses.
Worse if they're white.
They scream "goose"!
John s: It is hard to take you serious with those comments
When someone points to the stars, the idiots look to the finger...
SootyHunt care to elaborate?
@ john s .... Sure, no probs. All this information regarding the bolt on 500 kit, engineering, dirt bikes etc and you comment on a guys Raybans. To quote BlackHorseoftheHell comment above..... "When someone points to the stars, the idiots look to the finger..."
It's good to see Garth from Wayne's World is still keeping busy.
This is fantastic stuff here! Old big boy motors I was scared to touch as a kid I can now have in a brand new bike!
Any 500 2 stroke with a paddle tire on the dunes is badass.
^ this guy gets it... love my 200 in the woods, but in the dunes I was wishing for max power!
yes!
Mike Johnson yep, because going straight takes such skill. Smh. Guys with skill trailride & don't bother with the dunes.
@@ROTAXD don't speak ill of what you haven't tried. I'm a HUGE proponent of technical riding in rocky new england trails, yet enjoy the dunes just fine.
No need to be on a high horse man, jeez.
@@nicksonrobert kdx? I love kdxs they are a woods weapon once you get them dialed in with pipe carb suspension.
You need more subscribers man.... i subscribed.... keep em coming bruhh
Pretty cool channel. You put plenty of work into it. Earned a sub just for the matching sunglasses. 😂
I had no idea about BRC. Badass!

Sounds awesome. My CR500 vibrates me to pieces, not to mention the bike. My Kx500 did the same but not quite as bad.
As a rider and owner or two Cr500 I still am waiting for the now old technology of "direct injection" to be applied to a 500. With that I would say keep your exhaust power valve and give me a turbo! The counter balancer and the electric start are nice, but the six speed is awesome. Plated, we would finally have a no so half assed dual sport available.
idk if the bottom end would get properly lubed,
or the cylinder walls. : (
Great video! What a beast!!
Never would anyone need that much power in the woods!
Nice humble guy that one.
I love that you guys made a 500 2 stroke . I owned an RM 465 back in the day ,and years later rode my friends KX500 . When I got back on my KX250, I swore my friend damaged my engine ,as I was so used to that bottom end grunt on the 500 .
I owned a 2013 exc KTM500, and didn’t care for the power at all. Not aggressive enough, and I don’t like the feel of a slow reciprocating engine .
Would love to buy a new 2021 KTM XC and have this 500 kit in it . May look strange seeing a 60 year old man popping wheelies though
Great work guys! Keep an eye on my feed for some videos of the bike on it's maiden voyage to Southern California!
I once had 1984 Husqvarna 500 2 stroke air cooled and boy it was a beast to ride.
amazing video, didn't know tsp was having one of the kits, it certainly falls in good hands!
Great video dude keep it up
This is very cool - orange glasses aside - great presentation!
Oh man, I just saw rhis. I can't wait to get one. I been a KTM 250/300 rider. But started out on YX490 and then a CR500. Great idea. So sweet.
I had a 2 year old KX500 in 91 it was awesome, upside down shocks water cooled,it could pass CR250s going up hills no sweat , I think it could do 110mph on the beach, in its gearing , cool bike , big 500, two stroke sound .
Well done video of an awesome little Canadian company putting out awesome big 2 smoke motor! Like the orange glasses, let the haters hate 😜
Mite have to see what old mate Dave’s looks like down here in Australia
Toby Price.....Finke 😁
Bring it to Glamis, CA and do another shoot!
YES!
I was just thinking I need a bike that can handle a timber sled!!
Flaming orange shades, no sun.
damn bro really defending those shades just as lame as people talking shit..
Simply amazing but too bad I would never be able to afford one 😂
Don't say that, you don't know the future. If one of these bikes is truly your passion, you can find a way. I just say something because I want you to be happy and I know you are capable.
@@justincoats7236 .. I think he's having a little dig at the company that it's over priced
Willie Bird
yeah me too
😢
Willie Bird same. :( but I have my 86, 87, 88 and 90 cr500s But I’d sell em for a new modern one. :)
Hey I never thought I could buy one and I work as a guard at pay rate of $12.00 in Cali I saved money for 1 year and bought a 2008 505 ktm a 2004 crf250r but with a cr500 motor so I guess yeah can afford it like I can with a crappy paying job
I like the Orange on the ktm ,not so nice on your sun glasses
He’s high leave him alone
Good1 😁 I threw spaghetti atda screen yelling : ""ya got 12 more 🤬'n gears!!!! ""
lmao
Wow! gotta get one for my wife's 14' 300xc timbersled and see how it compares to my CR500 timbersled!
2 Storke ist awesome... and the Sound. 😍
This channel is gonna get big
Let us know what you want to see and we will make it happen!
Anything to do with 2 strokes man, i can tell this channel will get better and better. Current news for dirt bike shit, count me in dude
@@DirtBikeNewsCanada You know what I want to see. Once a year, you have readers send in a resume of their custom builds. The top 20 get an invite to bring there bike to a track in California and the winter gets some type of prize. The glory of winning might be enough. Just getting our bike in the magazine and some comments of what was cool would be amazing. The biggest problem is getting all the bikes and owners to California. My crazy idea.
My first CR 500 was a 95. Bright pink and purple lol. It was a beast. I'm building a 01 now big bored are amazing. Any gear any time it would loop out.
I rode a 1995 CR500 for ten years. Woods, desert, dunes I did it all. I ride a '19 300xcw TPI now and it's a way better bike overall. The only time I miss the CR is in point and shoot, full throttle hill climbing. Everything else is XCW territory hands down.
This kit is really cool but I don't think my 300 actually needs more power.
you can never have enough power there is no such thing😯
Had to go back to check out the shoes and shades combo lmfao!, cool, I want this bike!
God i love that Honda i loved the early 90s Honda's with the red and yellow i wanted a cr 250r from 96 so bad when i was a kid i would love to ride that ktm 500 2 stroke god dam beauty at it's best love the sound of a big 2 stroke
Australia has had the modern CRF 500AR for like 10 years. shops specialise in making the cr500 into the crf450 frame etc. glad to see usa got it going on now
Uh that's Canada, eh. You got them mixed up.
Guys if you have been waiting for this it's amazing to hear about a professional company who took on this rare demand two build a brand new 500cc 2 stroke
On the one hand, I'm a little jealous since I have a 2018 300 XC W, on the other hand, I may not possess the tesicular fortitude for a 500! Awesome!
A six-speed 500cc engine?! YES!! I have spent soo much time dreaming of an engine like this! I am what's called a "short-shifter", and I also usually have no idea what gear I am in at any particular time,and often find I am in top gear when I try for the next higher gear. Lots of clutch slipping involved,but its very precise,not the fanning to bring up revs you often hear. My reward is found in the excellent traction my clutchwork,and calculated throttle control combined with the supple suspension that is possible when the components are not under load from acceleration. It just slithers across the nastiest ground. Of course at times its advantageous to load it with throttle,but most times it is not. It's most obvious exiting hardpack turns. Six speeds!! Oh yeah! Can you do seven?
I have always been a lugger myself, I get a shitload of hours out of my top ends. You can seriously hammer through the woods on a yz250 without hardly revving much at all. I always raced my hare scrambles like that and it conserved energy,gas, and my engine very well.
I want one !! I need one of those engines !!
By no means is my Beta 300RR a big bore like this 500, but man, big two strokes are magic off road, they are light and pull like tractors!
Never ridden a 5002stroke had xt 650 4stroke and it was fast for a enduro bike but if like to get a 250 stroke like a Suzuki or Honda early 90s model something to get back into riding and I know that the Suzuki 250 2stroke is probably one of the best bikes all around and would be plenty of power for me and easy enough to keep up and allow for mods. I .cant wait to smell the exhaust from a stroke again. I miss it.
Love the bike guys, great job. Just one thing. You advertise the model as a BRC 500, one would assume the engine displacement is approx. 500cc, give or take. That was common for years, a calculated displacement of 498cc was called 500 for brevity, just fit nicely into a specific competition displacement class. Well, from the description, a 89mm bore & a 82mm stroke comes out to 510cc, so a BRC 510 is cool. But...kinda stackin' the deck a bit? Anyway, I'm looking for a KTM or Husky now. Be talkin' to ya!
Finally !a bike show from Canada.I'm from south-east N.B.(Albert county) We have plenty of groomed trails) Their is a track about an hour away . My dad used race ICE , and do Ice racing . I deal with Toys for Big Boys on Salisbury rd. ,great sales people (my dad still sells bikes)not everyone works on commission . Anyway , The enduro scene could be brought back here easily , it's just that nobody wants to set them up . Anyway , great show .Can you guys do a show on thoseTimber Sled tracks for bikes .Like which bikes can take one of those kits , or make it take the track .ie. I have a XR 650 L ,I'm pretty sure it's too heavy for the track system , that market isn't big here because because we don't have powder ,the front wheel needs to stay on the bike (not the ski) with a studded front knobbie.
does it have a stator for lighting incase you want to build a roadgoing enduro?
Long live the 2 stroke !
I love this. Kickass!!!!
Use to ride KX 500’s during mid to late 80’s. Those were the days.
Do they retrofit 500cc or any two stroke engines to modern road/race bikes?
i go way back boys, i had 73 yamaha dt 360 enduro wiesco'd up !! vibrated so bad it blurred your vision but a ditch digger !! lol p.s. compression release was not functioning it would kick back and break your leg !!! fun times
Own two CR500 alloy conversions, but also 4 KTM's (2 SXF450's, 500 EXC, and 150SX), so this is just cool to see this! Glad to see the 500's are not forgotten. I've proven that the 500 is just too much bike for me, as I'm "faster" on literally everything else. Great bike here, but I think the terrain choice for testing is not suited well to it's power. Does anyone need that much power? Probably not, but it still puts a smile on your face when it isn't grimiced from shatting. I keep wishing KTM would produce a 500 2 stroke, I would have to buy it even If I had to sell something else. I think that day will never come though. Especially as good as the 250's are now.
Wow, a new 500 2 stroke for racing on a Mx track and you just ride it like any Trail bike.
Should be all out balls to the wall!!!
This is amazing. I want to be part of brc.
I wonder if their using the pistons that don't have any wrist pin holes, to limit short circuiting of the fuel air charge.
I have been long awaiting KTM to bring back the 500 which seems itll never hapeen. Super cool!
Wiaprus riding area does have a nice mix of single track and quad trails. I thought I recognized the trails but wasn’t sure till the end.
We were in a couple other locations before we settled on Waprious for the final shots.
How does this compare to a fully modded 2017 Husqvarna FE 501? I have a completely uncorked and desmogged bike... billet intake tube, FMF exhaust, Grunt manifold, Vortex ECU, DCR cam, Dave's billet fuel upgrades, Dirt Tricks full drivetrain). Do I have more power or similar?
HELL YEAH, FINALLY! Been waiting for another halfliter 2stroke for Years! Sadly, ive sold my KX which made my arms half an inch longer and was not able to get my Hands on another... hows the chance to receive one of these in Germany? Greetz, Steph
YEP right on bringing back memories i had a 1990 CR500 and it was a beast! come on HONDA!! bring it back...!!!!!!!!
I need a 2stroke 500 in my life.
will they be develiping electric start for other brand 2 stroke dirt bikes..?.....thats is awesome
Holy Frack!!! I miss my old KX500.... damn thing tried to kill me several times!!! LOL, totally wish I kept that beast!
That bike ( kx- 500) was a man's bike no doubt. Still could be competitive
Today with very few mods. Awesome bike.
Any chance would this motor fit inside a ktm 500 exc?
Fantastic engineering job, now do it for my 300 Beta please
Whoa this is the only ktm I've been excited about.definatly going to look out for one of these kits in the future.the only concern I would have is how a 250sx transmission would hold up in an engine twice the size?
Wow steve really.you sound like a smart guy.
Sounds fun,but for green Laning, I was looking for fuel after 30 miles on my gasgas ec300 with around 50 max per tank. I suggest they put a larger tank maybe 12 litres or it'll be left at home due to not having the range of the 4 strokes by a long way.
U have a customer in West oz waiting lol cheersd
My favorite old school bike was a 1982 Yamaha xt 550. Single cylinder 4 stroke. It was a beast. It sure would be cool to get a newer version of it. Electric start would be a must. Out of all my friends I was the only one big enough to kick it over.
There are plenty of modern ~500 cc four stroke single cylinder dirt bikes to choose from. Modern engines rev a lot higher, and make a lot more power than the old xt550 did. That said, I liked the paint scheme on the old xt500/550's
This engine will be so rare dude
This must be heaven
awesome
It would be awesome to ride somewhere this beautiful.
I can say I have the balls to ride, the ankle/leg and cocky enough to say I'm so buying that bike one day. I have a 86 cr500 it's in my 3rd drag toy that I just finished building 3 weeks ago. I just finished the engine brake in and next weekend is in the 60's so I'll be going to the dunes.
power valve ?
ill be having one.
Love to see him do a kit where u can put a 2 stroke engine into a stock crf110 frame or a good brand of pit bike like a stomp or demon x or pitster pro
Nothin like 2 STROKE POWER!!!!!
I'm a quick rider, but certainly not the fastest out there by far. I spent 30 years on big bore 2 strokes, from Husky 390 and 430, IT495, KTM 500 and a few others. Sadly never a CR500.
They are generally slower than a good 250 or 300 everywhere (2 stroke, duh), but so much easier to ride at 80%, which is just right for me. Stick them in 3rd from idle to about 50 mph, like riding an automatic, and the sound is just awesome.
If you want to go serious fast, get a 250 (2 stroke), if you want to go fast with a huge smile on your face, get a 500!
God bless you guys!
is there a kit for the 2018 2 stroke ktms?
I need one of those motors for My snow bike
Can you do this on a 2011 ktm-300 xc? I've been awake for days thinking about your ktm-500 xcw smoker with electric start! Lmk please?
Tried a 2017 KTM 300 2 stroke and found it lacking in power compared to my old Yamaha WR450F so I did buy a 2019 KTM 500 EXC F 4 stroke and I am very happy with it. But what I really want to try is a modern vibration less (like the KTM 300 with balance axle) 500 CCM 2 stroke :)
