sorry there still bring it on the market ( cr 500 AF, KX 500 AF and the real monster MAICO MMX 250, 350, 500, 620, and 700 god bless there is 2 stroke hahaha
It's refreshing to see someone who really knows how to ride a big bore stroker. I see WAY to many videos of people saying they can "rip it" on a 500, only to see them trying to ride it like 4 stroke.
500s are for scrubs. I had a yz 100000cc turbo with nitrous but i mixed two stroke with cereal on accident, blew up my motor because I put milk in the gastank.
Thank you for not ruining this beautiful machine with silly yo mamma wassup bitch music! I'm in a position to get KXF 450 or Kx 500, and I'm going old school with the KX 500. I don't care if its harder to ride, I want to know I'm riding the most hardcore dirt bike ever made, at least when i get off the KX 500, I will have that feeling. With the KXF, I'll feel like it held my hand and wiped my ass.
That was like poetry in motion, I absolutely love these old 500cc 2 strokes. Drove a 90's CR500 on a local lake at winter on the ice. Totaly nuts but fun as hell. :D
One of the best production bikes ever built. And this is basically a modified over and over 1988 KX500 with the biggest difference with the USD forks that came on the 1989 model all the way to 2004. A great machine and zId race this over almost all the new bikes.
There is nothing more refreshing then the crisp sound of a big bore two stroke with high octane gasoline and motul burning in the morning air. That's a clean KX 500, they don't make em that good anymore.
justin uranus first bike was a 1979 Suzuki RM80... Loud beast but old 2 stroke tech and the raw feel of that bike cannot be replicated. Always felt you were going faster than you actually were when you were on the pipe lol
it's refreshing to see so much positive talk about two strokes less rotating Mass lower center of gravity plenty of power thanks for the great video bro
so proud to have owned the 2nd to last of them...... nothing compares in pure power crazy power got so many pics of mine, never could handle it but only 3 to 4 HUMANS ever could ..... LARRY DESTRY DANNY that's it and saying alot GREAT VIDEO
Abbott would ride our local MX tracks around phoenix, strong rider, dude would wip it over large table tops in 15 mph winds. His speed was that of a local pro that would definitely qualify for nationals.
I rode with some older guys a long time ago, bought my kx 125 brand new in 87 and the dudes i rode with had kx 500, and a yz 490. I was always in the back but some of the best times of my life were on the dirt.
Man I miss the dez. Moved out to the Denver area back in 1998 from the high desert of California. That sand was friggin awesome. Bought a Service Honda 500 about 7 years ago and only once got to use it in the dez. Freaked me out how fast and nimble that thing was. The desert was the perfect place for it.
I wish I still had my KX500. I bought it because of Destry and Team Green back in 1998. I will never forget my first ride out at Sycamore Creek with it. I hit 1st gear and no problem. I hit 2nd gear and thought okay It has some pickup but no big deal. Well I hit 3rd and holly sh!t you have to hold on for dear life. It was such a rush, feeling the tires skim across the top of the wash or coming to a turn and powering out of it like never before. Now I'm looking for an enduro that can give me that same feeling. I want something that is street legal but can handle a desert race as well. Great video.
I could watch the master aboard his magnificent KX5OO cc 2 stroke green beast 1OOO times over and still would'nt ever get bored of listening to that BIG BORE 2stroke symphony lol that KX5OO moves a dumptruck load of dirt in this clip with Destry !
My buddy has one, and I rode it years ago. They are absolute BEAST!!! Going from a 125, to the 500 was like going from a Yugo, to a Lamborghini!!! It was WAY to much bike for my skill level at the time. Even now, I’d have to be REALLY cautious!!!
Please dear sirs, more of Destry Abbott and the awesome KAWASAKI KX5OO 2 stroke missile !!! Please no 4 jokers lol I mean 4 strokers as in ssslooww thumpers lol !!!
Actually learned to ride on a bored out 1989 KX500-my 12 yr old brother traded a mountain bike to a guy who had hurt himself on the KX and wanted to get rid of it...we could barely crank it; & the kick back would about break your leg...but the vibration, sound and raw power was addictive-miss that feeling.
I've always been a honda guy but theres a special place in my heart for kawasaki's,this was a great video,he's a lucky guy.and yes thank god for no oooga booga music,it would have been the perfect video if it had a girl with 32/24/36 and some nice D's in some daisy dukes and a tube top haha,so let the good times roll.oh and can i have the bike ? i will pay shipping if you have a heart and will give it to me.LoL
Johan Engqvist i never broke a kick starter on my CR500 but i did have the kickstart lever slip off my boot and run up the side of my leg a few times and holy cow was that painful
Oh I know!!! I had my foot slip-off at bottom of stroke and the kick-lever shank me like that when I went to kick-over the K5 when I was first gonna buy it from this other guy. And like it shanked it to where sub-cutaneous fat was showing and everything! But I'm all like I can't bitch-out here in front of this other guy. I'm like "I'll be alright, just give me a second here." Resting my head on the seat for a few. He's all "ya wanna borrow my boot to kick it over?" to which I reply "Yeah... that's probably a good idea." And that was it... I was in love the moment I kicked her over! Unholy power...YESSSS!!! And I NEVER EVER tried to kick her over without an MX Boot on ever again. Bump That!
TheJoesmoe1987 raced a kx 500 with my crf 450 and it was one on the best races ever, I beat him but only only low end and too end. Mid range is just nasty on that bike
Idiots who really wanted music that validates their own musical taste and who are more interested in the image than the sound of that sweet engine and the ability of that rider.
Even a bone stock 250 vs 80 2T is like comparing a Silverback guerilla to a 10 year old boy. The built 500 here is like a fuckin whole troop of guerillas that are on the warpath. It goes REAL good.
what a bike riding skills i am so impressed.....i wanted this bike badly...but i live in india ....here i see nowhere such bikes....reminds me of my young days when i too used to high sped through dirts dusts.....
I know I gave this a thumbs up👍👏 Wow, how long has this rider been riding dirt bikes? He's not intimidated by this bad fast 500kx, Seems as though he's the boss of this machine and that's that! Thanks for posting 👍 very enjoyable video 👏😁
the 500 2 strokers are beast , ive rode and owned many bikes 250 450 500 and all in between the 500 is by far the most dominant bike ive ever rode. BY FAR
Damn this dude can really put that horsepower to the track. That rear tire tried its best to pass up the front but he stayed on it constantly and wrestled it to go the right direction the whole time. Dudes an animal on that bike. Most people can't use all the power of the KX500 and CR500 (including me) but I know some good aggressive riders that run them well but this dude is using every ounce of that motor. Good job man but I'd hate to see the violence when it outwrestles you one day. Most pros don't have that violent of a ride.
That bike is a fucking work of art, man. I wish they'd bring two strokes back.
sorry there still bring it on the market ( cr 500 AF, KX 500 AF and the real monster MAICO MMX 250, 350, 500, 620, and 700 god bless there is 2 stroke hahaha
👌👌👌👌👌
Yes and not cost $11,000.
The sound, smell, and instant explosive power delivery of the two stroke... nothing else like it in the world. Great stuff.
It's refreshing to see someone who really knows how to ride a big bore stroker. I see WAY to many videos of people saying they can "rip it" on a 500, only to see them trying to ride it like 4 stroke.
I would suggest it to any beginner
I'm 8 years old, and weigh 70 pounds... is this a good bike for me?
Learned on one. (
hahaha , mayhem ,
i bought this for my 5 year old cousin... he loves it!
500s are for scrubs. I had a yz 100000cc turbo with nitrous but i mixed two stroke with cereal on accident, blew up my motor because I put milk in the gastank.
Wow, that really takes me back. In the 90s I had a KX500 that I rode in the desert. What a machine. The funnest bike I've ever had.
Thank you for not ruining this beautiful machine with silly yo mamma wassup bitch music!
I'm in a position to get KXF 450 or Kx 500, and I'm going old school with the KX 500.
I don't care if its harder to ride, I want to know I'm riding the most hardcore dirt bike ever made, at least when i get off the KX 500, I will have that feeling. With the KXF, I'll feel like it held my hand and wiped my ass.
try the MAICO 700 that"s the real shit ( 82 bhp )
qwerty uiop ikr its rediculous how people do that,And this video kicks ass.
Just like the bike and the rider.
#SKILLED
qwerty uiop if you want that feeling I'm afraid you're on the wrong bike. Please refer to cr500.
sorry Bel. I have one of each and the KX is far stronger , both fast but the KX is better , my .02
Mo So think so? The CR has pretty unusable power. Most of it is lost to wheel spin. If the KX really is a stronger bike I'm sure it'd be wasted power.
THANK GOD you didn't put any lame ass music other than those symphonic 2 stroke music
Agreed no friggin rap music
Jati Kesuma gsf
I was thinking the same , it was a great decision not to add any crap music 👍
Braaaaaap
@Mark Levy 。。
Insane riding skills and an amazing machine.
Awsome bike, but no one mention the rider... He is really good and can ride that monster. :) But the best part is: external view with no music!!! Wow!
In the title it says the name of the rider
Wide000 exactly, that boy basically made that bike his bitch. 😂
Wide000 yea that dude is killin that kaw. he's good.
Wide000 Destroy Abbott is his name he is a enduro bike rider
How do you not know who this legend is?!
His riding skills earns the big bore 2 stroke. Love it!

Matthew Shields yes its a very soft bike made just to play around !
Kx500
You can spell better then me and im 23 :(
Joel M than*
Funny
You know he’s a good rider when he can kick over a Kx500 like it’s a 125
It's JEFF WARD
@@barbwire4879 Destry Abbott is Jeff Ward!?
Listen to this wearing head phones is the sweetest sound! Rider is killing it and riding it like it was made for.
I think I just found the best video in the history of TH-cam.
2 strock for Life ! I don't why but when you ride a 2 strock you feeling you a Live!!
Stroke*
you are missing (Know) and Alive is one word.
Say "what" one more time...
and when u go to school u learn how to spell

when is your gonna look like this lol?

+ArmathuX ya man your bike is sweet i was just kidding
@@ArmathuX 💪🏼💪🏼
This how to rip a kx500 and he only poss just touching pinning in 5th ,still a lot faster than your ripped in 5th video lol
Love it. No commentary needed for this bad boy. The footage speaks volumes by itself.
There is nothing more refreshing then the crisp sound of a big bore two stroke with high octane gasoline and motul burning in the morning air. That's a clean KX 500, they don't make em that good anymore.
justin uranus first bike was a 1979 Suzuki RM80... Loud beast but old 2 stroke tech and the raw feel of that bike cannot be replicated. Always felt you were going faster than you actually were when you were on the pipe lol
What monster but the way this Rider tames it shows great skill.
You should have been Hakan carqvist in Namur on this Nike
That was amazing he even had thé time for a beer in film racing time
I don't care what anyone says, there's nothing nicer than the sound of a two smoker.
That is one competent rider. Thank them for us all.
Absolutely
great location to let the big bore.
green machine let loose. Great rider. No music and no narration. Oh yeah!!!
Dang that thing RIPS!
You should get one and supermoto it since you seem to like that yz450f. That is if ohio allows 2 strokes on the street and is relaxed on emissions.
the heat that a 500 single 2 stroke makes is tremendous
Hello! I'm Brazilian, I love your channel, I have a WR360 husqvarna 1994 that records videos in the city of Curitiba. 2 strokes forever!
it's refreshing to see so much positive talk about two strokes less rotating Mass lower center of gravity plenty of power thanks for the great video bro
so proud to have owned the 2nd to last of them...... nothing compares in pure power crazy power got so many pics of mine, never could handle it but only 3 to 4 HUMANS ever could ..... LARRY DESTRY DANNY that's it and saying alot GREAT VIDEO
This is a great bike for beginners smooth power, and great for trails
Yup. If you can start it you can ride it....
Kicks KX500 one time and starts.. Okay, you have my attention now.
Abbott would ride our local MX tracks around phoenix, strong rider, dude would wip it over large table tops in 15 mph winds. His speed was that of a local pro that would definitely qualify for nationals.
the bike is fast but this rider makes it wicked fast!
A thing of beauty, and joy forever.
BRING BACK BIG BORE 2Ts!!!!
yeah and the banshee!
+LeDerpySquid and the big bore threewheelers! Tecate 250 250R and Tri z 250!
BG_ D21 YEAH!
Ciao
They never been away. Take a Maico or the New TPis. Not real big bore as 300cc. But I do think there will be a New Honda 500 or so
Great camera work and stellar riding. Destry is pinning it.
dam that boy knows how to rip it!! savage!!
God I love the old 2-stroke Thumpers we used to own a Kawasaki dealership so I'm semi partial to this bike but I still love them all...
I wanna be able to buy one again
You can still get 2 stroke bikes. New at that. Just gotta know where to look.
I like to think I ride my 92 like that in Hesperia. I love hearing that deep growl the FMF pipe/silencer gives me. This is pure joy !!
after watching this, there was a little hit on 2stroke smell in my apartment. nothing beats that rawness!
That 2 stroke engine is the most soothing sound to my ears 🔊
A must have dirtbike for all enthusiasts!
Destry rides with blistering speed, such a savage. Gotta love the 500 smokers!!
I didn't know the made recluse clutches for older 2 strokes like that. Great riding.
Ya whats up with that i agree that was weird . It would have to be adjusted right they hit so hard at idle
These guy got money
Got a kx250 thing has some power, cant imagine a 500cc
I rode with some older guys a long time ago, bought my kx 125 brand new in 87 and the dudes i rode with had kx 500, and a yz 490. I was always in the back but some of the best times of my life were on the dirt.
Nice Video! Awesome bike! reminds me of the Jeff Ward days... 😃
OMG!!! what a Great upload. The KX500. The King of the Bomb run. Dirt Bike Magazine. Where 2 strokes live. Ken
That was some skill man 👌

now that's what I'm talking about!!!
Finally!!!! Someone that knows how to ride a damn bike. That is how it's done people. Just like I used to do it!!!!
This think scares me it sounds like a 4 stroke already from a distance
I wish I still had my KX500. I bought it because of Destry and Team Green back in 1998. I will never forget my first ride out at Sycamore Creek with it. I hit 1st gear and no problem.

Beautiful db kx five with the steel frame so sweet with the fluent curves and the structural shape of it, it’s a beauty and a beast💯⚡️🔥💯😱😱😱💎😮🤤
Quite possibly the greatest 500 rider that ever lived.
Enormous power, very responsive throttling.And the biker is awesome.Respect!
Must've been already warmed up. You can't start a 500 first kick cold
+Peyton McAdams KX500 was/is not a hard bike to start, unlike a CR500 that can be a b*tch that loves to kickback

4 strokers
If you are thinking about buying a dirt bike this is what you need to buy its a good bike to learn on
i rode a kx 80 this thing looks way nastyer
5.25x nastier

it's gorgeous and the suspension is dialed in nice and so is the whole bike THAT is pure power at it's best!!!
I know I gave this a thumbs up👍👏
Wow, how long has this rider been riding dirt bikes? He's not intimidated by this bad fast 500kx, Seems as though he's the boss of this machine and that's that!
Thanks for posting 👍 very enjoyable video 👏😁
I can hear this sound all day long🔊
A real man’s bike !
Very good sound quality
Great fun riding a dirt bike.
Absolutely young man! 😉 I was 4 in 1996. Be safe.👍
He throws that thing about like an empty tracksuit. Balls of steel
and that boys and girls is the best crosser you will come across
the 500 2 strokers are beast , ive rode and owned many bikes 250 450 500 and all in between the 500 is by far the most dominant bike ive ever rode. BY FAR
What a beast! Awesome bike. And it was all over the place with a guy who obviously knew what he was doing. Great post. I liked and subbed
seems like a good starter for my 4 year old.
or should i go straight to the maico 700?
A million thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 loved these machines
Amaizing.. Kawasaki is the best speed end sporty
That man knows how to hammer one of those monsters
I spent alot of hours riding a brand new 1999 kx500. Man I would love to buy one.

those are canarys singing in wild omg awesome recording of sound and 500cc of pure stroke
The closest you’ll get to riding a chainsaw. They were intimidating to say the least. Excellent riding!
terrible analogy LOL
The 4stroke competitor has to be 100000000cc
LMFAO
AHAHAH and a crane to pick it up when you drop it!
What you talking about? The thumper today is not even riding....still in the shop adjusting valves,timing and replacing the battery...
LOL you guys are mean!
+Satisfaction Guaranteed
You made my day ^^
That thing sounds dialed in, this dude use's every hp. Nice job
What a beautiful sound
Con ese tubo de escape suena muy buen y le da mucha más potencia, tremenda máquina. Saludos de un Venezolano desde Chile.
Thank you 🙏.
Experts suggest riders graduate to the KX500 after mastering small bicycles equipped with training wheels.
