widowmakers...
So another worthwhile project hits the screen. No less the beast, a 'Man bike', Cancelled in the name of safety, What ever you want to call it. This is the last un-restricted crazy idea from Honda to produce a bike you simply can't use to it's full potential. Dull 4 stroke restricted racing still sees the CR500 2 stroke competing and winning in many unrestricted races after 30+ years of so-called- development. I want one. I want it in a glass case just to know I have something that belongs to another age.
Lets see if it is up to the hype..

I am seriously impressed. I’ve owned lot of bikes and done tons of work to them but nothing like this! It warmed my heart watching the original labels being applied, as if this neglected motorcycle was being reborn into the beautiful motorcycle it once was and still deserves to be. As a motorcycle enthusiast, thank you for sharing your incredible work with us, and for preserving such an iconic machine. Cheers from Michigan USA!
You are most welcome! Thank you 🙏
The widow maker in all her 1987 glory, what an absolutely beautiful restoration
Thank you 🙏
@@MyRestoration1 thank you for all the hard work! She’s beautiful
The most beautiful off road motorcycle ever made
I agree. It is pure function. No frills. That is something we don’t see anymore
One of for Sure 🦾🏁
That's quite a wide skillset required to get it that good. I like that you go to lengths to try to reuse what can be reused.
An astounding restoration. It’s been a pleasure watching it all come together. Extremely gratifying I’m sure but totally understandable why you’d never want to do it again.
To say I am speechless is an understatement. You sir are nothing short of a master restorer. I always wonder how much work people like you had to do on bikes to garner such skills. I just received my 1981 Honda CR 250R in the USA my father bought for me in South Africa as a schoolboy in 1982. It has sat inside our farmhouse since I left South Africa in 1988. It is 100% original and after draining oil , coolant and cleaning carb and putting a new plug and filter it kicked over on the second kick having sat unridden for over 30 years . There is nothing like those old bikes . Thank you for taking us along on the journey . I bet the first ride was exhilarating like only a 500 can give you . 👌👌
Stunning, a craftsman at work . Such an iconic bike .
Lovely to see the sellers reaction mind blowing merry Christmas
Wow! I had an ‘84 XR500RE and loved those old Honda’s to bits. Incredible quality work, bravo!
What I love about this channel is the fact we all make mistakes and rob is the first to admit it that makes this channel the best restoration channel because we all don’t feel beliited and the attention to detail is something special
Excellent video. 1980s best decade for motocross bikes.
Your one of the few that truly restores. You don't farm the project out and have excellent skills. Well done!
Thank you. Keeps me trying. Appreciated!
Thanks for an amazing restoration video, it brought back many fond memories watching you restore it as I brought my CR500 RH brand new in Australia for $4,600.00 and rebuilt it from frame up 3x times! over the many years of ownership I even drag raced it and it did the Quarter in 13.2 seconds stock!! it was an Animal to ride and anyone who was behind on the track's used to keep there head down if they seen me twist on the throttle!!
That’s funny 😆 I watch Kaplan America rip up some turf when I need a boost! Thanks for your comments mate
Finally!!! A PROPER restoration, not just people with excess cash throwing big money with bags of NOS parts at a project. Taking the time to find, repair, restore and revive old, existing parts, creating the unobtainium bits from scratch and fabricating a piece of history for the rest of us to behold. Congratulations on such a job well done.
You get it! Your channel looks up my street. I’ll be dining on your projects too. 👍
@@MyRestoration1 Yes sir!!! We are definitely cut from the same cloth - I only wish I could spend more time doing these restorations. It's a part-time gig for me but I just love taking the time. The end result is so worth it. Cheers - K.
Well done! Now on to the Norton!
Ur definition of restoring makes me feel good inside. I enjoyed every minute of this video. Thanks
Bike is mint. Bravo.🎉 . The off idle pulses get yout hands sweaty, but hyped up. Good job. 🤠👍
Crazy build, you should be proud of yourself, I give you a 10/10 ❤
The best restoration channel by a long way
Impressive work! Very nice attention to details. Well done :)
Fantastic transformation of an iconic motorcycle. What a job you have done on her. Your channel is one of the best on TH-cam and your resto job on the vfr 800fi was also equally as impressive. Fantastic work. Best wishes for the new year and all the best.
Thank you Vold
Absolutely phenomenal restoration! Enjoyed watching your craftsmanship
Absolutely impressed! Down to the factory warning labels and decals! Bravo!
Wow, not just a parts changer but true restoration, much respect fine sir.
The factory would be proud of this restoration… renewing a classic for all time 👍🏼
Now, that is what I call a true restoration. Not like some other restorations that is almost perfect but only ruined by replacing the original rims with ugly black rims. Congratulations on a job well done.
I admire your patience I would have never been able to have the patience to restore a bike like you did but you did save a lot of money by hand fabricating
Yes I did have a bunch but I was still surprised at the final spend. More then I expected..There was very little on that frame to work with unfortunately. Rookie lesson.
Beautiful job, I restored a 1981 Yamaha YZ 465H2 stroke back to original and that thing was fast but nothing is as vicious as a CR 500 great job
that was so much work..... but what a result
Ah, the widowmaker. Absolutely beautiful work in bringing her back to life. Red Bull team member, Aaron Colton, rightly said of the CR500, "Honda produced the bike to humble anyone who thought they were tough." What a terrifying machine!
Amazing video mate well done ❤❤
You sir are a maestro. Couldn't believe you did it all yourself...well done 10/10 from Texas USA
Thank you sir!
Amazing and incredible resto, truly always satisfying to bring back a bike to its original glory.
Great job. I had a friend who's uncle was a pro and he ride a CR 480 and then bought one of these and man talk about game changer. Excellent job on the restoration.
Thanks Darrell. I must say up until now I have not ridden the bike other than in the video you saw. Let’s see if you a right. I have no doubt you are!
BEAST !! love it :) Ive spent a lovely Sunday morning watching this and the Le Mans rebuilds and now have face ache from smiling for an hour - top job !
That’s so cool! Thank you
Extremely well done on an iconic bike
This must be hands down one of the only CR500's left on the planet that is in near new condition. Seriously it should be in a museum it's too nice and rare to be ridden about. Just wow amazing job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏
If someone else is reading this and knows of another mint 87 please share!
This is amazing! True talent and craftsmanship! You can be proud!!!
Upgraded to a 87 CR-500 from my older 83CR480 race bike .
Thought that if the 87 had the same slim ergonomic fit that the 480 had along with a OHLINS rear shock on it
It would've a much better bike.
Great restoration job 👍
Fantastic, restoration well done for saving it.
SMILE . Great build . I rode one of those beast back in the day. If i would of seen what was coming i would of bought all the used ones up.
I love watching you work and the bike is awesome and amazing

WOW, amazing skills rightfully proud of your work. Fantastic job well done.
Watching that build take shape was like watching a child grow. Every part no more or less important than the next. Takes a brave soul to even attempt a build of this caliber and to execute it so so cleanly is, well…fucking admirable.
Amazing job, love all the detail you put into every part . Congrats
Thanks Buddy. I had help from your channel too!
Glad my channel could help.
You absolutely crushed it!! Congrats!!
Super impressive!!! So cool that you made it all stock again! Merry Christmas from California!
Thanks! You too!
If I hadn't of watched it I wouldn't have believed it, amazing work.
wow now thats a work of art sir 10/10
Awesome job!
The only thing you should change about this video is where you said, "i think we did it.. No, you 100% did it, and holy shit did you do it. From what this started out as to what it ended up is right up there with the best restorations I've seen on TH-cam and trust me I've seen alot. Absolutely brilliant 👏
Top man thank you buddy
Wow.. awesome job
COMPLIMENTI , SEI UN GRANDE , HAI DATO NUOVA VITA A UN'ICONA

Great job bike looks amazing 👍
Wow love it favourite bikes of all time beautiful job
Utterly stunning result, such a journey 🙏
I really enjoyed this video and it gave me motivation to get back to work on my old honda build. Thanks for the video, its amazing!
You can do it!
What a great restoration! I did something similar with a SWM 125 but not nearly as well as you, and I had way more help. A lot of setbacks and I think I made a loss of at least € 3,000 (if I were to sell the bike, which I will not). But I got at least € 10,000 back in fun, experience and meeting good people! Wish I could have made a great video like yours. Congratulations on a great job.
Absolutely amazing restoration on that 👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Phenomenal Job !
