Kaplan, I've learned so much from you. Your knowledge is amazing about bikes. If you ever need to know something about the bible or Honda Fourtrax trx300s, lmk! I woulda bought this in a second
Totally my dream bike.
Shes a rippa!
I cant get enough of the microphone toss.😀
You guys are hilarious. In such a tough year, everything you guys do brings me joy. I restored my 1988 Fourtrax 250r this year because you guys really fired me up and awakened the 2 stroke beast within me. Myself and my eleven year old daughter worked on it together, because of you and junior. It was a true experience for her, and I am grateful that you do what you do, it has gotten us through this year.
Thank you
Ronald Tartaglia. 😊
Thank you Ron! That kind of positive impact on other people is why I do this it makes it all worthwhile I'm really happy for you and your daughter God bless you both
I know he never misses. I'd love to see a blooper reel of all the misses. If there is any. Kaplan looks like hes an athlete
Same thing here. We didnt do a race machine, but you motivated me to restore a 91 Honda trx300fw in southern blue. My wife and I had the greatest summer working on it together. Look at how watching one of bn your videos changed the course of my life. That was in the spring. Now I have a small atv repair shop and I fed my family from it all summer because covid bullshit wrecked my other job. Keep it up brother! You do more good in the world than you even know!
Thats a special machine hang into it.
Yup, love the mic toss and "feast your eyes on this!" Hahaha guys are cool af
Men rode that monster when “men were men” and had steel balls!!!
Big_Mike NYC and broken legs LOL
Back when men were born as boys.
I used to race a CR480 years ago, I wasn't a man, I was more like flag hanging off the bars lol
@@deborahchesser7375 and collar bones 🤣🤣🤣 no but really
dragon291000 oh shit yeh, both of em, and both arms. That’s why I feel like I’m 80 now at 54
I had a 1982 CR480 that I bought in 1984 as a leftover and it was still in the crate for $1,500.
Air cooled big bores are the best💪
Except 1984 cr500 they had cooling down problems
@@22slimeee i run 100 octane in my 84 cr500r and ive never had any issues with it getting too hot
I bought a used one of those in 93, rode the woods and trails on it for 3 years. Sold it in the fall of ‘96, it was a beast! I had 4 kids by then and figured I better get rid of it before I killed myself on it.
"Just gonna run it through the gears so you can hear every gear."... LOL!
I Just started watching this channel recently and immediately subscribed.
Guess I'm kinda late to the game, but what an amazing thing this guy is doing for these vintage bikes, riders, racers and enthusiasts.
Got my first bike ( 1970 Honda SL 70) on my 7th birthday.
47 years later and I still have that same excitement and love for cycles I had with my first ride.
I've probably owned at least 30 different bikes of all makes and sizes since then.
God Bless him for keeping the memories alive for us older folks, and these beautiful machines alive for the younger folks to appreciate. :)
Chris you have 3 years of awesome content to binge.

I better put a pot of coffee on.. Gonna be long night LOL!!
Thank you brother welcome aboard we appreciate your feedback

Thanks back, KAPLAN AMERICA!
Just bought a gorgeous 2013 Harley Road King with only 5 grand on the odometer. Headed to Colorado this week, and then an East Coast trip on return.
Hope to have some time to check out the Museum going through CT.
Keep up the good work, brothers!
The sound of a old 2 stroke reminds me of the old days in the woods
Me to gives me goosebumps love the smell of 2sroke aswell
True. It gives you a vivid memory of your childhood like an old song 😬
Didn't everyone hear him say he wasn't gonna get on it...?? 🤣🇺🇸🤣
That's as slow as it goes.
Now that’s funny 😂😂
Yes!
During the 1980 Maico was the king of the open class. So Honda decided to purchase a Maico and study it. And the results were this bike. All the way down to the kick start on the left side and the drive train on the right.
I love how Ken finds a proper matching outfit for ever bike he does a video on. 🤘😂
I knew he would rip it lol. It’s almost impossible to ride a big bore bike and not let it eat a few times lol. The feeling of the power is too damn good to take it easy lol. Good shit!!
Kick start on left side!???
I owned one just like it...
Never had one ounce of problems with it...except it chewing up rear tires!..lol..
I had one of those.. bad ass to the bone. Hated the left kicker but I learned to live with it. My step son’s friends wanted to ride it so I told him if you can start it you can have it .... he left with a messed up foot.
Nothing sounds like an old CR I wanted one so bad as a kid.
Those things pull top to bottom . Badass..
awesome bike!my 82 rm 250 would holeshot these all day long,not by much but hey was a 250
@Barry McCokiner Damn
Yo my dad just bought that bike cant wait to see the bike. Such a clean bike. Can’t believe he got it for 6300. This bike was his childhood
I have a 1985 XL250R 4stroke and mannnn does that thing rip
It’s amazing how fast the CRs were 40yrs ago! 🇯🇵🏁
I almost feel like Honda took a Maico 490 and cloned it. Steers very much like one. Was an awesome bike.
Always loved the look of the 480's ! 👍
That bike was one of the baddest dirt bikes ever made. Back in the day it was between that bike and the Yamaha 490.
Wow that things a beast!!giver some pepper!!🔥🔥👍👍 You guys do excellent work👊💯"banana sandwich"😂😂
She's a Ripper 👍
Very hard to find bike especially in excellent condition. 1982+1983 was it. The cr450 and cr500 (air cooled) are not as good as the CR480. =This is the one you want if you are racing air-cooled big bores against Broc Glover on a Yz490. I have no idea how Broc Glover beat power-valve Kx500s, and 1985+ Cr500s on a air cooled big, but he did routinely.
The first year of the CR500 Was the 1981 Honda CR450
@@tysonthewolfe93 Mugen 360 (kit) 1978/1979
@@jonmccormick8683 oh yeah I know this bike Mugen 360
@@tysonthewolfe93 you should say the first year of open class honda was the 81 450.
@@4thdimensiontravels855 yeah truly I know that the 81 Honda CR450 Is one of the rare bikes
82 cr 480s were great looking bikes ,mine would syphon oil if you ran it out of fuel and would rev wide open for 3 or 4 seconds !
OH SHIT !!!!!
That is such an amazing bike...and I’m a YZ guy !
There is just something about the model designation printing on the seat cover that I always felt was just a mandatory motocross bike placard. It just looks bad ass !! And tough as nails !!
Banana sandwich 😂😂😂😂
Had the same bike used for trail riding was very hard to find any body to go riding with me. I was told by my friend's that if I continued to use this bike that they would no longer ride with me. They could not handle the roost. Lol
you get purple welts all over your chest and belly
Magoo ripped on those monsters!!..your videos are the best ken..can't wait to come to Rockville and check out the museum and hang out with all you nuts!!
love the big bore super pinger i did just find a restored 1984 red n white yz 490 wish i wasnt poor id own one
MY 480 WAS WAY MORE TO HANDLE THEM CR500S IN THE FUTURE
The caption reads “music” when it’s idling. Darn straight that’s what it is!!
500cc power with drum brakes.
The guys that raced these things were lunatics….
He said I just gonna run through the gears lol" awesome bike
sweet bike !!!! ....... TRUMP 2020 !!!
Is it just me or is it the 480s have more of that dankidy dank dankity dank dank dank than the cr 500s
I absolutely love my '82 480R. In the woods its 2nd and 3rd gear all day. I did swap on '86 cartridge showas and disk brake, "Ceet" safety seat (NOS), custom valved rear shock with '83 reservoir for adj comp damping, and wider pegs along with all the requisite off road protection for pipe, frame and levers. I kept the stock chamber but with a custom built silencer (need a Cobra SA yet to be USFS Legal) swapped to a Keihin Flat slide and V-Force reeds. The 480's do rip and sound, well simply, freaking awesome!! I would love to have that one in my garage next to mine. Great job on the refresh.
This reminds me that Honda used to make real bikes , not just the bitch boy 4 stokes.
I almost bought in 1981 but I have to hire somebody to kick it
Dirt bikes like a 1980s hair bands it's on replaceable
That bike doesn’t just cut the grass; it harvests it!
I just love big boar singles 4's & 2 strokes that tang tang tang tang tang
some people have all the fun ✌
Not gonna lie, these bikes scared the shit out of me as a kid. Now that I'm 6ft and 210 lbs I want one!
My step dad broke a flywheel key on his and it ran backwards literally. Gotta love Chadwick Missouri riding area! It was only about 19 years ago and he was still ripping one. I think it was an 83 480 with the starter on the wrong side. Didn't appreciate it back then for what it was or realize how skilled he was to be riding that monster up the rocky hill climbs.
I just put my deposit down on this bike! I’ve never been so excited about anything in my entire life!! Ken, you brought back too many memories!!! You guys are awesome! Although my wife said if I watch this video one more time she’s going to burn my cell phone!!!
That's awesome brother I hope you really enjoy it it's a kick-ass machine
Well… whats happened???
@@braydenbowen5492 It's sitting in my shop and I look at it every day and get a grin. I start it every once in a while to listen to it like you would an old country song.😂
Hey spanky that is a killer machine how much u get it for$
@@jgoodwin5706 It was a little over 6k with some shipping. There just so hard to find anymore. Especially in decent condition.
Blue fork boots on a 1982 CR is sacrilegious. Get her back in black!
Careful with those brass knuckles...
That's a true animal
I had one it loved the revs pulled hard up high
Love when Kaplan executes from the holeshot position! Says a lot about the bike and rider. No doubt it. The man can ride 🇺🇸
Nothing like the sound of a two stroke big bore. Thanks for the great memories.......
Damn, left hand kick on that monster. Cool vid
Four strokes,,,they can have them!!then again my friend had a. TT-500 !!year I can't remember ,,two shocks in the back ,,metal gas tank&&&you needed big BALLS ro kick it,,no Muffler cackle like you won't believe
If I was your neighbour you would never have a problem
Says 'No stunt show folks" then goes into full send mode, lol.
Just got a red 1985 huffy racing30 RIGHT out of the box 😓 never ridden. It was won in a raffle once upon a time, it’s a bike they talked a lot about and I never seen one like this, don’t thing I’ve seen an ol racing huffy ever actually
Super sexy 👌 it's up there with the Suzuki tm100l.
Put your boots on with this animal 👍👍👍
You guys are like walking brochures for motorcycles. Very jealous of your jobs.
the old "watch me start up my dirtbike" vid....vastly interesting....lol
Just gonna run it tru the gears show health of bike 10 wheelies 1 holeshot few hill climbs it's a ripper 😁😂
Somethings are wonderfully anti-social.fear the reaper on this thing...b safe and sound.
Just bought an 82 XR500, 90 CR500 AND 83 CR480! oh, and a little QR50 ...
Spectacular awesome looking bike. 🎖️😎🥹
I saw that story of Kaplan America the other night on tv! It surprised me because i didnt hear about it. But it was bad ass. Congrats guys!
back^ when dirt bikes had class
Those “H” Style Honda Racing jerseys from back in the day were Legit! Awesome bike
Got the knife and the brass knuckles. Ready for fun.
Looks like you are having way to much fun at work lol love it vary nice Honda but I still like the Suzuki rm
You installed the chain And the sprockets on the wrong side 😂🖒 tippin' the bike over to prime the cylinder that's what I do in cold weather somma' the old bikes use ta have what they call tickler buttons You push the button it pushes the floats down Sends the fuel flooding straight into the carb bore I'll bet it had a bit of a learning curve
Where do y’all get parts for these masterpieces, I have a 1985 ktm 350 2 stroke and can’t find a single part for it, can y’all help me please
BANANA SANDWICH 😂🤘
like the old hi-point boots
Another fine piece of 2 stroke history. Keep up the great work.
Super nice 480R. Late 70's early 80's CR best looking bikes ever.
I remember Maico head being shaped like with the cooling fins....
nothing better than the old CR's, thanks for the video
"Ring-da-ding, ring-ding BWAAAAA !!! LOVE IT!! 😁
I had a 450R...lemme tell ya that thing was mad at all times...it lived to kill...
Only downside was the left hand kick. Hated it on a big bore.
"Im not gonna do any stunts"...proceeds to do said stunts...Love me some Kaplan America
If some of them the front tire was a little bit bigger than the back one and thing for days
4 speed 👍🏻
As a kid from the desert, I seen all these crazy rides ripping down the road just dreaming I'd be riding them. Years later, I'm shredding it up on a '80s bike showing these modern guys how it's done. My shit was engineered with graphing paper and slide rulers. Fuck a computer
Ive always believed a human brain, even the less bright ones are smarter than any damned CAD program.
I was camping out in Glamis one time and a guy in our group had one of these. I had never ridden one before so I asked him if I could try it out. Got it out to a section where I could really open it up and that thing scared the shit out of me. So much power.
I had one and loved it although the clutch was a little weak. It was my air hammer. 😎
I had an 82 and I loved it. It would climb telephone poles if you could hang on. First gear was a little tall for tight trails but fire roads were where it really came alive. Sweet to see one in such nice shape. :)
That thing is 10 times faster than a 2021 ktm sxf450
Beautiful bike! 😋 sounds amazing!
only thing wrong with the bike the kicker on wrong side
What is this it's like a maico left foot kick start maybe a haico 😆
AFTER THE NEW SHOW GET BIG RATINGS YOUR SALES ARE GOING TO GO THRU THE ROOFTOP OF THE OLD MUSEUM HAHAHAH ....PLAIN BAD ASS AND IF YOU HAVE MONEY ...WHY NOT PUT IN THE GARAGE HAHAH....HISTORY ROOSTERS
When Bikes were real bikes, like riding a Bull with all power and know factory/tech. comforts. Had one about 89' and quite sure it was an 83'. We didn't care or know what we had back then if you had the riding passion. Remember a scary moment on a friends new 500 Kawa.. Just got it on Appalachian trail and hit full blast, banged all gears and ran into some serious high speed wheel wobble on trails gravel. I luckily rode it out right. Funny the "experts" now say the 480' Honda was nothing compared to the upcoming 500. Just watching the Roosts and wheelies with a tad of throttle leaves doubt and brings back some sweet memories of that certain Honda. All motor and pipe, High tech. suspension was the big padded seat ! Real nice piece and justice to her Guys.
I had one. Absolutely awesome 👍👍👍
That thing is rocket ship. Got to love those big bore hondas, they sound so mean and rip so hard.
Whats crazy is everything is opposite left side exhaust right side chain left side kick
Euro style courtesy of RDC !
I bet you it smells delicious! Hell of a job pipe looks sweet. Someone going lucky to own it
Did he even touch the power band in that beast. Beautiful bike. Just bought an 87 yz125 mint. Love these old bikes.
