2 STROKES RULE. NUFF SAID. but I could be wrong 😉 The fact that you can register that for the street is amazing. That’s beautiful. Full set of street tires and your in business.
As a young man in the 70s -80s nothing but big bore 2 strokes... Bultaco, Macio, CZ, Puch, Husqvarna,and of course my barn had a Yamaha and Suzuki in the corner. One of my favorite was my Dick Mann framed white brother's suspended Suzuki sp 370 powered rocket. Oh and my 83 CR 480.. Happy Trails..
I'd love to see you guys get one of the Maico 620 Enduro bikes from Kostler. I read in Dirt Bike or Dirt Rider magazine in 2000 or 2001 when the ATK company in Utah purchased a lot of the 500,620, and 700cc. big bore maico's for their short run of ATK Intimidators and the article alluded to the 620 being the best one for motocross? Would love to see one of them done by Kaplan Cycle's and look as great as the sweet 700 you all built! You guys ROCK!!!
I remember the 465's and 500's very well from the 80's . If I had 42 less years on me I'd be on the woops throttle pinned yelling WAHOOOOOO as my friends were looking for the first aide kit just in case . Man...I miss racing so bad . WFO OR NO GO ! PK
Beautiful machine! Gonna buy my tickets for the '22 CRF450WE. Always watch you guys & hope to visit the museum very soon. My sister lives in NH not too far away.
See those narly foot pegs. I have rear-facing Wheelsmith narly foot pegs on my '78 Maico 450. A friend wanted to ride my Maico. I told him if you can start it, you can ride it. I showed him how to work the compression release lever. I also told him to get rid of the tennis shoes and get your boots on. He said, I don't need boots. I said, OK. I sat there and watched him take one kick and his foot slipped off the kick start lever and his shin went down on top of that narly foot peg. He got off the bike and limped away... 🤣
It still sounds tight . Pull the pipe check out the surface of the exhaust side of the piston for later reference..just sayin...im sure your people have got a flexible scope to check the inside of the cylinder bore through the spark plug hole ..its sounding mighty sweet these days ..doesnt hurt to be extra careful ..its probably the finest engine of its kind that has ever been built . Keep the shiny side up...
Watching you right footers kick a lefty is painful lol. Now you know what it’s like living in a right handed world, we lefties are so mistreated and overlooked hahaha. All jokes aside, killer bike and great starting technique!
I like the CRF 450 sound and hope to win it. But, me being a former Honda/2 stroke guy realized something. Honda or not, 2 strokes sound sooo muh better. That Maico sound nice, not as good as CR 500 or CR 250. 😀 My Honda bias can't be contain. 😀
DuDe that bike is SiCK…. Ken you posting all the big bore bike’s I’d rip that back and forth from work save on Biden’s fuel punch to American’s faces I think he would like your hammer Ken….🇺🇸
Thanks for pulling the trigger on buying the 700, really enjoy the videos 👍
Man, the work that went into the exhaust alone is crazy. Such a killer bike. Fantastic video channel!

Maico has come along way since the 70's and 80's. Pretty nice be bike.
Is you're CR 500 not doing it for you? Maico- don't worry we got you!

Damn that's awesome sounds so crisp
I love the 2 strokes! I run my 88 trx250r on 110 leaded and she just wants to wheelie with the short ratio 1-4

Now this bike is beyond badass. What a beast, love it!

Thanks to your videos i ordered mine❤
Beaut,sounds crisp,wonder y the bike
setup is back to front, compared to older bikes,exhaust, chain etc?🤔🤔🤔
Luv the sound!
Friggin BEAST of a machine!!!
My phone was shaking by that sound God bless America 😅🇺🇸✌🏽
Dreams of running that down the road. Suprising some 600's.

Sr. did you notice the exhaust melted some of the plastic on the turn signal? There is some pickling of the plastic.
Street legal too... Seriously,what a true treat!.
Damn, I haven't watched every Kaplan video, but just about. So many bikes I'll never own
that thing sounds amazing
That's one badass monster
Holy motor gods!
That's definitely a dream bike
God bless MAICO. I'm glad to see the day they made this bike. Like JOHN. AIRS.....sad once you have a MAICO. you won't want another brand.
amazing SOUNDING 4 sure ...insane 0/60 pulls also great vids Sr...
My question is why do they put the Kickstarts on the port side? I realize there are lefties out there but majority of bikes are right booted
You forgot to mention that you need to slay a dragon & make a necklace out of one of its teeth to be worthy of owning a Maico 700!! 😁
That's implied my brother!
@@KaplanCycles
😆

That’s beast 💪💪
Your mechanics have perfected that two stroke beast ken, it's a beauty, is it the only one in the world?

Testing all those bikes is a hard job but someone has to do it 🤙

Awesomeness!
Dude ... we love you, put a fucking helmet on!
You are a fucking badass American!!!!
Hell Yeah Buddy 🤙
Brutality at its best.

No
Thats the Gas-Gas BRC conversion.
Love it
Street legal 700 👍💪

How 🤔 ❓️ 🤔 much to cut ✂️ 🤔 Sr hair 🙄
How much more hp can you get to the rear wheel?
They are saying 80hp on new electric dirt bikes ..that would be good till you need a recharge..
What dreams are made of
Anybody have an idea what they cost?
Is that a stock pipe?
Hell no
I noticed he didnt wheelie that one…..:)
Ok so its maico that's left side kick I thought gasgas was too. I had them confused. That thing is a rippa
Just doo it lol 😆 Canada 🇨🇦 day happy 4th

You look like you can be related to glen Danzig maybe his taller brother
Just listen to it that's big piston i bet you after a while a cr500 will feel like a 250? If you keep riding it haha
Why would god bless AMERICA?
Torque Monster Rocket Ship!
