When I was a kid my dream was to have a modern dirt bike. Now my dream is to have one of these...
Juv-Husky I like the 82 better than the 83
Isn’t that weird how that happens?
Juv-Husky same thing then, these were the modern bikes when we were kids
Juvktm Enduro & Trials Israel I’m 18 (considered a kid to u folks) but I only own vintage bikes
@@georgemichael6922 I have a 83 and I do love the 82 great looking bike my dad owned one , my sister was born in 82 and she's sitting on it in a photo 😊
Bloody hell that is a beast. Looks and sounds awsome ! Pulls like a train !!!!
Back when a open class bike was built to be as bad ass as could be...love that sharp rake on the front end too..bet it would be a great bike on the trails...
a friend of mine had a 400 and was riding a wheelie down the street and lost it and skidded on his ass, his mom was picking asphalt out of his behind for days
As opposed to kicking his ass.
I ran over a drunk guy on a bicycle, riding my cr500 ate rocks for 50ft.Broke his collar bone .
Beautiful bike, needs USD forks
Bad azzzzz
Cleanest 480r in existence
only reason i didnt buy this bike vs the 1983 yz 490 was because of the kick starter on the left side
That’s Honda baby I just scored an 83 cr480r the best model year for that bike
We always remember the first ride on a big bore two stoke, I Was 13 and my feet couldn't touch the ground when sitting on the seat, so much fun,these bikes bring back the kid in all of us.
I "Motard" a KX500 years ago. Just ridiculous on the street.
I just love the looks of the early 80s air cooled monoshock bikes....bare bones ,utilitarian machines. .....fucking awesome
Back in the day if someone showed up in the woods with a 500 he was the king. If someone showed up with a 480 he was the king with the golden staff.
What a beautiful machine this one is.
So true!!
almost every dirtbike ive owned were hondas.
love the 92-96 cr250's.
mcgrath era.
I just scored an 82 480r engine.. It's going in an 83 ATC 250R frame... I can't wait to get it running!
make a video you lucky sucker lol
@@867diesel the build has just begun! Maybe I'll post something this weekend on my channel about it!
@@theericbenson1692 dude that's going to be one wild ride lol I want to put a cr500 motor on a trx250r frame for xc racing lol
@Ron McCaffrey I'm just getting all my parts together. I'm a journeyman machinist and a pretty good fabricator. So it should be pretty fun to do! I can't wait to ride the beast!
Very powerful. Cr480. Becareful. The 3 wheelers are very roll-over material. Take your time to adjust. To. Double the power
Thats the equivalent of riding a desert eagle
.50
That's the truth
Good way to put it
I have an 82 CR480 all original. I was going to sell it, but now I want to keep it. That bike looks awesome!
Don't EVER sell it! You'll never be able to replace it when sellers remorse sets in. Been there,done that!
Lucky!
I have a 1983 cr480 and a 1983 cr250 and and a 1989 cr125 and a Honda XL100
@@22slimeee And my son LOVES Patrick from Spongebob lol😂😂😂
KX500Maniac thank you lol
I wish you guys were down the road from me.
This jewel would be sitting in my garage!
I'd go broke if these guys were down the street from me.......
I have a Polaris rzr 1000 and a Polaris Ranger and a klx110 and a 2020 Crf110f but my fav one is my 82 cr480
love these old pingers reminds me of my 84 yz 490 i use to have when i was a kid
What an amazing example 1981 to 1989 was the best period for looks of not only CR'S all motocross models. Today's bike might be lighter and handle better but they don't have the style of these beautiful ERA Classics.
Love all the Honda 500's that's where my heart is. But any 500 2 stroke. even the quad's
Don’t know if you’ll see this I owned that same bike guy bought it new looped it parked it for thirty years then I bought it so mint original as it gets
never leave the choke on after you start a 2 stroke you'll foul the plug faster than you think
Anonymous420 oh ya ya what bike do u have
Anything good about a 79 kdx 400
Had an 81’ CR250, 83’ CR480, 85’ CR500, 85’ RM500, and I loved the 480 the most! The raw torque of low and mid on the 480 was just dreamy! God I miss that bike! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍿🍿😎👍
The 85 had the most torque-hp out of all the 500 lineup. Maybe the 480 felt more usable power band?
@@Daniel456324 No question the 85’ had ultimately more hp, and the motor didn’t fall on its face at the top like the 480 did. But from the bottom well into the mid was unparalleled in the 480 imo! I absolutely loved that. To compensate for that face-plant power curve you just stayed in higher gears ... all the time! I could cruise at 15 mph in 4th and only had to twist the throttle to get over or around anything w only one shift left to go for warp speed! 👍😃😎🇺🇸
Wasn't that Honda's second year for a production open class bike? The 81 was a 450 wasn't it ? Then it remained a 480 until 85 or 86 then it was a 500 correct?
i had a 1990 cr500, traded it off for a plated kdx250, its nice to have the road legal 250 but sometimes...
Just my opinion but I think the original Honda wing would look better than the red white and blue wing. Just something small but it really stands out for me
I have a childhood full of stories about one like it. Awesome and some free advice give this girl respect. Would love to have one again
The sound of a 2 stroke motor is so pleasant to hear. So much memories with my Aprilia RC 250
I had a 4 speed 480 1982. That bike threw a lot of debris
I never thought of that on moto the old ugly seats but you gain ass syspension and it gives you hight as the new seat are all for look ill s
Hint: Kick it over with your right foot before you board when it's cold.
I loved this bike and would like to get another one. It's a very balanced bike but it was a bit heavy feeling when landing a good jump.
Can’t wait to see Ken on a KTM 495, he makes open class bikes look like 80’s LOL. Love your guys vids, thanks,Bill
You could "mess up" and still get the hole shot on this bike. I know. I did it many times. You could still get the hole shot today against modern bikes. The engine was magnificent.
That is a bike I'd love to own great video boys is that ice ye're driving on??
I live in Michigan and I am gonna pay your museum a visit when this covivd shit is done
Love 2 strokes..had an old PE 175 that went like a bat out of hell
These bikes where full race spec back then they had magnesium parts In them to save weight and for a 50hp bike at 220lbs they did just that. For 1982-83 these where rockets heck there still pretty quick even now. And this is a pristine example of one to. Great job who ever restored it 👍🏽
What a beauty! Love it! 👍
Somebody bought that and it scared the shit out of them so they stuck it in a barn you have a great eye for bikes man 👍 Carl's right it's gorgeous
That bike is nice!!!
it’s well-known that these bikes will run forever withi just normal maintenance!
THAT BIKE IS ALL FUN!
weird how the chain and sprocket is on the right side and not left
My favorite quote in this video “ what do you think karl” well i love it!!!!!! You should keep this badass beauty its stunning👍👍👍
Who remembers the wellie contest on the tv show that's incredible.
Thanks for the thrill ride that's a ripper for sure
I gotta say kap... You have got the most beautiful dirt bikes in your collection.
This 82 is so nice I'd probably never dirt it
Right on!
Favourite honda moto. Very copy need
Awesome bike, the trikes gay tho lol
I have a 83 need the case welded
I don't know if magnesium can be welded. You might try eBay see if you can find a used engine case there.
472cc. 4 speed what is the top speed ?
I need this bike can you ship to uk
Where is the maico 700 or 680 620
You’re a gun bro your love for bikes is very encouraging keep up the good work
Nasty classic....👍🏻🇺🇸
That thing is the Barrett 50 of dirt bikes!
you have some beautiful bike wish i could ride half of them keep up the good work👍
Good video I like that
I love your vids,the sound of that air cooled pinger reminded me of my old Kx250 A5...wish I’d have kept that ! All the best from the UK
A TOOL.... 80's motor x bikes are the best looking by far also the 1975 suzuki 125 RmS. very rare now..
such a sweet bike.
wow.
this is gorgeous wow
All in all its on point
But is it "on point"?
My uncle had a 83 cr 480 when i was 11 or 12 years old. I rode it all the time then one day it rode me will never forget. I remember telling him it flipped backwards with me all by itself. Looking back i guess it kind of did lol.
Would a modern 450f destroy this thing??? They need to bring back 2 strokes.
Absolutely gorgeous! #Ridered
It is a nice one noooo doubt
Mines used to splutter when cold but still on the back wheel the she clears then your in top and gone happy days
American flag sticker on a Japenese built bike 😂
I bought one brand new from dealer stock $2500 years ago Awsome bike
She looks and sounds beautiful, Ken! Wow! The new owner of this beauty will be one super-lucky person! "Yeah, you don't get the hole shot on this thing, you messed up!" :-)
Things a bute I’ve always wanted a 2020 bike but know I want this bike looks sweet
Throughout the years Honda has had several things printed on their seats. In most cases it's some form of the car logo. But I think the displacement size that was on the 81 and 82 was by far the best looking logo I've always loved that displacement logo. So cool looking I had the 82 cr 80
Biggest bike I ever personally owned was a CR 250. Neighbor had a YZ 490. That thing scared the shit outta me.
Do you jet your 2 stroke bikes for the cold weather?
Does that reaction mean you do?
That sound !! Wow !! Amazing condition. Showroom. Are the fenders New or restored ?
Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t it be a cr480r because I thought Honda’s 2 strokes were CR’s and the 4 strokes were CRF’s
It's a 480 lol
I've owned and raced an '82 and an '83 CR480. The '83 is a superior bike in every way. 5spd vs 4spd, 2 piece frame, more suspension adjustability, better rear brakes. IMO, it's a horrible Hare Scrambles machine. In muddy, rooty terrain, I often got arm pump from controlling wheel spin. Sure, you can short shift it, but the power is so explosive that it doesn't help. And what's with standing off to the side to kick it? Learning to kick lefty is no big deal. I did it on my 501 Husaberg and my Cam Am 500 ASE. Just sayin'. My current weapon of choice for Post Vintage events is an '83 IT490; cushy suspension, awesome brakes, and linear power delivery. I ride +60 PV Int.
Holy shit lol
I didn't have one, but my sister s , husband did,, I had a 440--1984,,,, MACO,, and that had 2 spark plugs in the head 🗣️👍,I loved it, a true
Brings me back to childhood. Badass gorgeous bike. Shows you just how long a bike can serve you, if you take good care of it, which I've always done with my bikes. I just wish that I knew how to work on them. Enjoy your weekend at JDay Brother. Have fun and be safe.
Who remember Hurricane Hannah? Bob Hannah now they were true motocross riders!! Those bike back in the 80s were brutal to race you had to wear a kidney belt to keep your insides from not ripping apart! No bulshit!!
Beautiful
Damn. I’ve always wondered what one of these felt like. You just show how easily the tire wanted to reach for the stars.
Had the same bike in the early 90s....i miss old betzy...beautiful bike
Àwsome Vid guys. Big fan from nz. Subscribed. Big 2 stroke fan. God bless the allies
The pipe is so perfect because its stock. So it got taken off and put on a shelf. 480r and 20degrees equals DEATH. That is a way cool chain guard What brand is that?
Oh man!
Friend of mine had one of these it was hell to start but once you got it started it was a badass bike to ride!
I owned a 1983 I put a New DG pipe on mine. I also had it bored out and I personally rebuilt the engine. New wiesco piston and rings. Boysen reed valve’s. It was a beast. I would love to have it back.
I bought an 83 480..the seat was blue an it just said cr..went up the tank a lttle bit..was a great bike✌️🇺🇲🇬🇧😎
what a beautiful bike- maybe not the best time for testride !? ;-() - great work!
The tank doesn't look right.mine isnt round like that one and mines entirely stock even the tires are the factory original set. I have the 1983 model with the 5 speed transmission. I've had the Kickstart literally launch me over the handlebars when it backfired.that hurts
Kaplan motor sports, where do you order from for older bikes or most of your bikes in general, older ones specifically
Wow that's what I'm talking about! Absolutely amazing! 👍 braaaaaaap!
Growing up my dad and I rode dirt bikes on our ranch, my dad had the same bike when I was 11, that's the first bike I learned on with that amount of power. Goofy bike but a powerhouse
What is the reasoning that they reversed the kicker and countershaft sprockets on some bikes back then ? Growing up I personally stayed away from some fort hat very reason ...
What an awesome job you guys have done up there! I have to come visit.
