WOW!!! Another thing to consider is the museum itself!!! Take it from somebody who lives 35 minutes down the road and has been there multiple times… The buildings themselves and everything that Ken and his team have done is beyond amazing. If you're into old architecture and old mill-type structures, you've got to get there and check it out. It's just unreal how pristine the place is. The pride and effort put into the entire place is exactly like the motorcycles they put out. And did I mention the bikes? Lol. And I'm not trying to blow smoke up Ken's ass, but when you consider the museum and it's the level of fit in the finish, his compound and everything he's done with that place, the trucks and the motorcycles, you have to wonder how much sleep he's had in his 59 years on Earth. Lol. It seems like it can't be too much… Lol. Anyhow, anybody that can get there to check out the motorcycles, make sure you really really look around at all the little details of the building and the structure itself. Thanks for all that you do Ken and team.
One more thought. The silent tour made me think about just how much you and the team have accomplished! You have alot to be proud of! I gotta get back to CT for a visit!!
It's well worth it, me and 2 buddies drove over 8 hours to go to the museum and it was well worth it, hanging with friends and checking out awesome motorcycles, what's better!!!! Make the trip when you can 💯
Ken youre videos are the reason im addicted to the 1986' CRs, i have a 86 80cc im restoring now, but im gonma work my way up and get every model 86' and restore each one. I'm a diesel mechanic, but this is a new hobby, havent had much seat time on anything yet but i enjoy working on bikes. Thank you for the amazing content.
What a display, but for me the standout is the RM500. Dream machine, always has been since I was ripping up the fields with my '79 square fendered RM80. Never got a chance to ride a 500 2 stroke, and the RMs remained at the top of my preferred list because of how much joy my little RM80 brought to me. I remember it like it was yesterday when my dad's best friend wheeled it out of his van as a surprise to me. ❤
I agree with walking back through motorcycle times, what a collection, write down to the easy rider chopper. I lost my American helmet years ago when my helmet lock popped open on interstate 81in VA. My first helmet my dad gave to me when he gave me my first mini bike(7yrs old in 72,Bonanza).
Absolutely! What a treat! walk around Thank you so much awesome wall of trophies! Awesome motorcycles and dirt bikes and memorabilia Ken Kaplan awesome! Awesome! Can't wait to come to your museum New England, motorcycle museum and gas gas Kenny Jr number one?
All I can say is I Appreciate everything you all are doing! And I mean everything! I love the motorcycle culture! Ken, let your whole crew know what I've said.
Seeing the old Yamaha ITs makes me wish I kept my old 79 250. But then theres a LOT of bikes I have gone through over the years I wish I kept. I could have made a museum.
SUM One Call The Law this has to be illegal,,,,, and that's a whole lot to be proud of brother Kaplan America I'm telling you right now if you can't find what you are looking for here you will never find it greatest collection of all times give a grown man Woodrow💪🏻💪🏻💚👍🏻👍🏻🌎🇺🇲🙏🙏✌🏼
Hey sr, you should get some uv protection on the windows especially for the 80s bikes. And I wasn't sure who was taping until I heard the whistle. And is that Miquel Duhamel's number 98 cbr I saw?
Darn. I used to have 3 of them over the years. Rode short track (get the hole shot, then try to block them for the next 10 laps!), hare scrambles, TT, enduro, anything and everything. Only had to rebuild the original 1 once in 4 years. Best bikes ever!
Oh, if I won the ever win the lottery they are going to be a few bikes short. A visit is still on my bucket list. I see these old CZ''S and Huskey's and get a woddie. ROCK ON CAPTAIN!
I have a amazing idea 💡 for your next raffle bike? The winner is allowed to walk through your whole museum or just 1 floor and pick the bike of there dreams # DaretoDream # Dream Big❤#PraiseJesus ❤
more of an ENCYCLOPEDIA....... than a museum........because of the rare colors and the fact that there are many variations of particular models................and the fact that most of them could be rippin' down the road with only a few minutes preparation, only adds to the allure.
Like the Grotto at the Playboy Mansion, Only With Gorgeous Moyorcycles! I love the Buell in the bathroom. Would much rather look at the Buell, than a magazine, when I'm on the toilet! ❤
Sad to see them just sitting there should be riding and used but that's a privilege for the wealthy wealth doesnt mean passion I have a $1000 motorcycle I am a happy camper catching the wind
Preserving the history of the sport is a great joy, in fact there are videos of every bike here being ridden after restored. We have captured, restored, and released back into the wild over 7000 examples like these. Only 200 of them stayed to be shared with those like you that cant afford them❤
All I can say is "Wow"! Your place is amazing. This video brought me a lot of joy. Bikes and a bible! What a great combo......Thanks for sharing!!

Damn, You're lucky, living 30 minutes down the road! I'd give anything for that! Take Care.
Walking back through times of awesome motorcycles 👍

Stunning, everything about it.
Best man cave I have ever seen! I need to visit that place one day.

Always appreciate these walkthroughs you do, and I love that late 80’s white and blue Gsxr 1100.

Museo meraviglioso 👏

I'm almost finished restoring that 83 yz 490s little 250 brother your lucky you were able to do this and have those bikes you worked hard to get it
SUM One Call The Law this has to be illegal,,,,, and that's a whole lot to be proud of brother Kaplan America I'm telling you right now if you can't find what you are looking for here you will never find it greatest collection of all times give a grown man Woodrow💪🏻💪🏻💚👍🏻👍🏻🌎🇺🇲🙏🙏✌🏼
Hope to see the place in person someday!
Hey sr, you should get some uv protection on the windows especially for the 80s bikes. And I wasn't sure who was taping until I heard the whistle. And is that Miquel Duhamel's number 98 cbr I saw?
The windows are 100% museum quality 0 UV Glass and cost $1,280.00 each for 287 of them!!!
Great video, but even better in person 💯
When does the museum close for the 2023 Season ?
I enjoy seeing the Frogman bike .😀
Hey Buddy, awesome bunch of bikes you have there. But.....did I see a price tag hanging from a lever on a few of those CR500s?
No , none of these are for sale
Those are id tags
Darn. I used to have 3 of them over the years. Rode short track (get the hole shot, then try to block them for the next 10 laps!), hare scrambles, TT, enduro, anything and everything. Only had to rebuild the original 1 once in 4 years. Best bikes ever!
worlds best line up way to go @kaplan crew
Impressive 🤘🤘
FANTASTIC
Thank you! Cheers!
I had the same idea sleep over to smell the history of motorcycles all night
where do i get a sticker kit the same as the 1776 bike ,that kit is just amazing
Oh, if I won the ever win the lottery they are going to be a few bikes short. A visit is still on my bucket list. I see these old CZ''S and Huskey's and get a woddie. ROCK ON CAPTAIN!
like a three year old looking in a gumball machine.
Cool champ! #1
Tidy collection, ,best thing on that floor by far is the bible on the desk brothers
ok i would like to be the first on the list for a sleep over in the Museum...when will that happen please?????????......i am in 100 percent!
Sweet
we got a bunch of new young riders at Victoria Motorcycle club. the 6-8 year old class are rippin it on the lil bumble bees
Oh stop it 🤣 it's too quiet i can hear myself breathing hard. Soooo many desirable machines 👌
Mint
Are they all for sale?
None are on this floor. Zero
Thank you for the update!
WOW
No one can touch my RM400c Decoster bike with me on it. I can only imagine that RM500 would be the only bike to out power me.
his cr 5 honey's are wicked fast but i hold a special place in my heart for the 79 suzukis!!
It's like a motorcycle ghost town kinda miss Ken's voice 😂
I'll take one of each please
A lady for every day
