Rode one of these mid 80s. I was only around 135pounds. If I stalled it a friend had to kickstart it for me ! Restoring one now.
Ol yammer hammer that's what we used to call them love it u guys rock
How about it. And Yamaha has always had a reputation of some really good handling motorcycles.👍
I used to sit as a kid and look at the magazines and just lust after these bikes. Actually had a 1980 YZ50 that we eventually had bored out to a 60. These yellow Yamahas were the baddest back in the early 80s!!
i like yamahas with gold rims also lol.
the classic yellow black combo with the rims is badass.
I had a Yz 490 just like this one back in 99. Was in really nice shape. Had a 20 over Wiseco and a DG silencer. Other than that it was stock. Man that bike was a ripper and I loved it. God bless.
In Australia we got those YZ's in white and red (which l like better) but as l get older I'm liking the yellow and black more and more.
At least the tank doesn't get yellow as it ages ! That's a beautiful bike that should stay in that condition imo.. Museum piece 4 eva
Canada they were white and red to.
Everyone in Oz would think it was a Suzuki if U didn't look closely.
The Klassic Ken Snr Intro ..a Wheeeeelie
Bikes of this era just looked better and this is a classic example
I love 💘it!!!.... It reminds me of my brand new 465 yz I bought off the showroom floor.... what a monster those bikes are when on the pipe!!!!! Omy!!!
Man, you guys just hit them out of the park daily. That bike is sweet.
Always loved going to see supercross in the kingdome in the late 70's early 80's as a kid right when I walked in and entered into the 2 stroke exhaust cloud and listened to the wonderful sounds I was in a trance remember my clothes smelled like exhaust I wouldn't want to wash them and loose that fragrance. GOD BLESS AMERICA
Unobtainium!!! New favorite word. Keep 2 strokes save Kaplan America!!! Love you guys
That's the exact bike my father had! He bought it from my uncle with like 10 hrs on it back then when it was new!
Imagine one of the Japanese manufacturers making an air cooled 250, upside down forks and disc brakes. Cheap easy to maintain and great fun
That is an amazing example, faultless . I remember them days when these bike's with single suspension just came out , it was an exciting time for bike's I reckon.
What a beauty! That big bore is MINT! I remember when they came out with the oval silencers, thought they were so "uncool" 😂 now the round ones are hard to come by, love the originality of that thing
King Debarry's resto's are the sh#t!💩 He turns out beautiful vintage mx bikes. 👍 If you haven't seen his channel, do yourself a favor and check it out.
The YZ 490 was a force to reckon with. Absolutely amazing!
Yeah, when you twist the throttle on those, even people from distance know you have something serious.
@@scott729 forsure, they were super bad. I want one really bad.
I always drooled at the Dirt Bike magazine Yamaha centerfold ads remember those days as a kid had a 1978 yz 80 takes me back seeing these vids thank you Kaplan
Yep, same here. Used to read DB magazine in our school library. Rich kids had the YZ's. I had DT's.
Amazing! I used to ride my neighbor's and they were hot and ballsy!!! Never forget the ride!
love that bike mine was a 84 wish i was rich
I bought my 1982 YZ490J. Only complaint was the 4 speed gearbox!
I agree, four speed sucked. Loved the 465 better in the previous year.
That brings back memories in 82 that’s all I did motocross everything
Yes! I love 82 yz's my second moto was a 1982 yz 80 j.
The best air cooled open class motor
Yz 465? Maico 490?
@@TopRevs I’ll give you the Maico for power but it has serious transmission shortcomings
That’ll getcha smilin’ ! 😁 🏁
I have the exact same 82 yz490 in just as mint condition as this one down in Melbourne Aus. Love it to death! Thanks for the video ☝️
Damn another banger!! Always loved the yellow YZs with the anodized gold rims!!
👊👊💯
Wish Yamaha had the stones to pull the trigger on a YZM500 production bike.
Even with a steel frame, they wouldnt be able to make enough.
It blows me away that the seat goes all the way up the tank. It took 30 plus years for that to happen again. Think about it. Through the 80's, all these bikes had the enormous tanks to smash your jewels, until the 2000's they started doing that design again. 🤔
GOD BLESS THE KAPLANS,,KEN was put on this earth to thrash and share Two Strike Motorcycles,all I can say is Amen and GOD BLESS KAPLAN AMERICA.
I only have one question; how in the world do you come across motorcycles 🏍️ that are in such perfect condition??? Bring back the 2 stroke’s !!!
Was that site used for filming in Zoo's last season? Looks familiar.....btw I only watched Zoo for comedy relief and not anything serious....great bike
I'm glad I'm not the only person who sees the inflation in bikes now. Look on marketplace the markets insane. Your collection has gained alot of value over the past years. Love your vids ken.someday I am going to make it from Pennsylvania to see your museum.dream come true brother
Broke my collar bone separated my shoulder broke elbow and wrist on a 82 490 with a 510 kit. After a few too many beers. I've had 2 cr 500 and blown up 2 cr450fs. The 490 was faster... and a 4 speed too if I recall
No Cogiva's? I just came across a 82 wmx250 cagiva. Super cool and fast bike. No clue what it was.
That bike is absolutely gorgeous my dad’s friend just bought a 1988 cr 500
Note to self: become friends with Justin Barcia's mechanics dad.
Need your opinion. Should I trade my 97 ktm540 street legal for a 82 cr480?
My brother and I had a white YZ 490. I want to say it was 1984. Too many beers ago to remember for sure, but without question .... it was a bad ass ride. I really want to get my hands on one of those jerseys. That RH Yamaha one that you have on is sweet, but I like the Honda's for sure. Hook me up : )
That is a proper immaculate bike showroom condition. The amount of respect you have for the bike is exquisite.
Just brand new!! 🥺🤤🇮🇹
I subscribe to his channel...
I just picked up a early 90s yz125 and a 1982 yz490 for $1000, today.
I had a DT125 1979 during that time. Do you remove the fuel to keep the tank pristine?
Just purchased an 82 yz 490 also a 78 yz 250 love it they are cracka bikes 🏍
God bless japanese to for making such amazing toys for us👍😎
That is what an Open Class bike should sound like! Man, that is tight! Just a beautiful machine,,
Come to Aus for a holiday. Bring it with you I’ll give you 13k 👍
Find the previous years 125 in excellent condition. Hard to do!
Dang brotha freakin mint! 👌
Excellent bike, as soon as i saw you ridin this i thought of Bob Hannah 👍
Is there any chance you guy's might run a yz490 on your dyno. Be great to see how they .compare to the other 500's
I couldn't agree with you more senior ,
It belongs right there in the museum
I've seen kingdebarry's stuff. He always has the best and runs them on a gas bag.
The distinctive bang bang bang sound of the big bore yammy
Sorry dude , shoodnt say it but, you look like a kinda cool MX minion lol cool 490 yam
There was a nos 95 cr500 for sale in my area. He sold it for 20k cash.
I loved my '81 - 490, i was so jealous of the U.S. Yellow bikes. I always think of 'Superhunky' & 'Tom - Wolfman Webb' when i see yellow 490's from the Dirt bike magazines we got imported.
Crashed it, cartwheeled it, it just kept goin'. Thanks for the memories KK.😎
In 1982 you could buy 1 of these for under 2 grand.
What's a bike like this running worth .. or one close to it
My very first bike, a 1982 YZ125. Bought from Simi Valley Yamaha for $1099. This bike takes me right back to the day I picked my ride out on the showroom floor. That 490 was a beast. Just look at the impeccable detail on this machine. Time capsule, 100%
Wore a lot of MX soles kicking a 490.
😲 👍🍻😂 Beautiful YZ 490.
Hello Kaplan motorcycles. I'm addicted to your TH-cam stuff it's great. I want a Cr 500 soon. I use to ride a YZ 450 F 2010. The Cr 500 looks and goes heaps better. Keep the show going its great.. thanks
Another gorgeous big bore 2 stroke MX Bike.
1979 Puyallup Wa. Wednesday night races(yes Wednesday night) I saw Lee Voss in the open expert class pull a hole shot and wheeled a third of the way to the first turn on a YZ 400 burnt a impression in my head I will never forget every time I see a old YZ400 or 490 reminds me of the greatest holeshots I've ever seen
You guys are doing God's work. Y'all are restoring these absolute gems and are making them last another 30-40 years.
Dear 2 stroke Gods it sounds soooo good!!
that bike could still kick ass on the track
love love yamahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
💗😻💗¡BEATUTYFULL SOUND!
Best 2 stoke bike ever, bought one brand new 1982, it would smoke any big bore 2 stoke, and only 4 speeds
Stupidest thing I did was sell my 85. But I’m happy to have my 87 restored and running amazing. I prefer to ride my older bike over the newer. Just a different feeling and ride . Especially the seats lol best comfort ever. I’m even building a hybrid quad ltz powered by a 85 rm250 with all the bells and whistles 🤟🏻🙏🏻💯. God bless America and god bless You guys.
I have no knowledge of them over making these on the motorcycle I only knew of the 100 sets of these tens because my neighbour bought one of them he told me they never sold it has a complete motorcycle I think maybe it got confused in some of the dealers install these on the motorcycles before they left the shop I don't think it was a Factory special
@@KaplanCycles can’t wait for me and the boys to come on down to your museum soon. Definitely love what y’all do and I hope things keep coming together for y’all. God bless you guys 🤟🏻
now thats a straight up air hammer ripppaaaa.
Simple gorgeous! I always loved that bike back in the day. She's just as fast as she looks.
I just love the look of the old bikes perfection 👌 but they just don't handle as good as the new bikes don't hate on me know fact lol
That is a Cucumber!
That bike is the same age as me & looks better lol
Sweet ride brotha! 🤟
BEAUTIFUL BIKE! WOW
When I was 13 my cousin and I fabed a 490 into a 250 quad racer what a ride
I need you to restore my bike
none better
Not a scratch, I'd be afraid to ride it! Looks get guys!
Stunning
Beast
That's an awesome machine, simply amazing.
Some Hoosier tires on it would triple the value ")
Hell no its stocker
Love that Yamie yellow and black sceem
Perfect, I always watch the videos of kingdebary and his pristine bikes are awesome 👌 Nice to hear you know each other.
I've never personally met him but I've admired his work for a long time I did not buy the bike from him I bought it from the client that bought it from him it never even put oil in it or started it
Ready to see a nicely restored 465!
11 continents, too funny sr
7? All of them!
That thing sounds gooooood!!
