I have a feeling you never worked a day in your life, meaning you are doing what you absolutely love to do! He know every make and model off the top of your head. Love those old school rippers
He sure does. I bought a 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Edition Streetbike, and a 2022 GasGas 2 stroke motocross dirtbike. It's a privilege doing business with the Kaplan Family. Very nice and patriotic people, that have the best customer service around and take old school pride in every single thing they do. They've truly changed my life, and the quality of it. I'm very happy that I recently discovered them on You Tube, around 6 months ago. IMHO, they have the best motorcycle channels on You Tube. If you ever have the privilege of doing business with them, I assure you, you will be very impressed and have absolutely no regrets. Take Care, Brother.
Kaplan America is the best channel on youtube! I love that you throw and catch the mic! Hope you can keep the museum open, and continue filling it with the coolest bikes! I am especially a fan of the 80's and 90's 2 stroke MX bikes. Keep up the good work!
Kaplan, the walking talking motorcycle encyclopaedia. I bet there’s oil running thru them veins. Never fail to amaze with your knowledge and your enthusiasm .
Ken all the best with this auction hope it Secure’s the future of your museum ( motorcycle empire). It must be heartbreaking to let some of these incredible bikes go. I own 30 I’ve been meaning to sell five. But keep putting it off. And that’s just to make room for others. I would love the xr80r. We used one for a pit bike when I raced Kawasaki in the late 70s . Your not just selling bikes. Your making dreams come true. Nostalgia. Memory’s The guys who left these beautiful motorcycles behind would be over the moon knowing there going off making new memories for the future. Has always respect for what you do. Making bikers happy. Cheers from England 🏴
I got a 1979 yamaha enduro 500 all original that has been in a trailer for 20 years. Im planning on getting it out next year before it gets forgotten. I can't believe you guys get that many awesome vintage bikes. I love seeing these old motorcross bikes. It just brings back the 80s.
You making up the rent Ken good luck hope you make a few bucks for your family you are the apittamy of a true living legend mate much respect for what you do to preserve history thankyou for sharing your life with us all. God Bless America respect from Australia
Ken that Fourtrax 125 was my second bike! I started off on a Rupp mini motorcycle at 5 & then at 9 my old man bought me that 125 new from Honda performance in providence & he bought himself a 250R Fourtrax blue & white one. Then he cosigned for my aunts boyfriend to get the red & white 86 Fourtrax 250R. You brought back so many memories when i seen that! I got up some decent hills on that bike & it has no suspension, just those big balloon tires lol! Then by 12 i was ready for the 86 Quadracer. I was driving my old mans 250R all the time. Awesome stuff my new favorite channel....👍🏻🔥💯🏁
I wish the Museum didn't need to sell 😕 there beautiful motorcycles! Just hurts my soul! The Museum should be filled with people from all around the world enjoying these bikes, but now everyone needs to buy one to keep them going. Don't let the Museum die, buy these bikes and keep them going lads!
Would love to see aRD400, that was a bike of two in my town when I was a younger man, , loved that two stroke, , nice , so are all of these bikes yours, ??? , kool thanks merry Christmas 🎁 for the people that get this bikes, thanks BigAl California.
Yeah, I realize this is an old auction video, I just really enjoy seeing the bikes. For me, my favorite and what I would love to own again is the V65Magna. ❤ I would also love another XS1100 special! **True off-roading in my area of SE North Carolina, consists of alot of sand, and for me is best left to 4wheelers, however I've been enjoying my new 22KLR for basic backroad and dirtroad exploring.

Captain is on point,a walking talking wikipedia of all motorcycles with a huge set of guns,the only reason to leave Australia is to visit New England Motorcycle Museum,its my destiny to visit
I really enjoyed watching this, not just for the amazing and beautiful machined you were rolling out but also because of that 1979 Red XS1100 Yamaha that is trying its best to get maximum screen time. Obviously I had one. Replaced the tall bars with a low shorty and terrorized all the local Kawasaki’s. A crazy machine for a wild 20 year old.
Some awesome machines here. A few of these brought back some OLD memories. That Honda XR 80... I remember when a kid down the block got one. I was so jealous because I had an XR 75. But I smoked him at the track. 🤣 Kids, what are ya gonna do.
Thats awesome! One day i will buy a bike off this guy! Somewhere along the lines of still want to ride and do not want to wrench lol! Long live the Dinosaurs! Love this guy man!! So neat!
Hey Kap you are start with Willie Gs. Work?!?! That starting out with the best!!!! Mr. Kaplan I'm a 56 year old biker and I've been riding since my crazy mini bike when I was a boy. Obviously I've seen and been around thousands of bikers and I'm a Chicago guy so its Outlaws out here NO HELLS ANGELS!!!!! And you are a damn cool dude!!! You are a excellent example of a biker!!!
Love you guy's, always sporting the best bike;s, wouldn't mind getting a KX 500 or a Cr 500, i ride a 01 KX250 and a 03 KLR 650 so i need a 500. The XR 495 was sweet !
@@KaplanCycles My son was saying to do a trade offered to me for my KLR for a 06 KTM 450sx, not sure about it and wouldn't want to make a foolish trade !
How do you remember the info on those bikes . You got one heck of a memory . I get that u no your stuff an some the fact are right there you look at it but still the small details are what what get me lol . You got the craziest bikes man . My first bike was a early 80s rm 80 those 80 can really rip . I'm on 91 rm 250 nowadays. Isk why buy always like those rms
that 650 kaw twin with the 1/4 race fairing was an intensional slap in the face aimed at the triumph 650 as that two tone factory paint and rubber knee pads on the tank is a direct retro look of the triumph bonneville fender frame geometry for handling everything about that kaw was matched at the triumph but with more high tech than the british
Those kickstart Honda CB 750's. I'll take 2. The Kawasaki KZ 400's , perfect beginner bikes. Light weight, big brakes, just enough power. And a Suzuki Quadzilla LT 500 on eBay ? I don't believe my eyes.
All show bikes upstairs. You guys need a mechanic pad/plywood with your sponsor or logo, throw a mirror in to show off bottoms, save the floors from kickstands.
Was stationed at Mayport Naval Station, Jax and we would go to bike week every year...along with free tickets to the Daytona 500, Gator Bowl and a Super Bowl (in Miami)...Bike Week was the coolest thing ever and Ron’s of the sexiest chicks you would want to see 🤘🤘🤘
