Nice Ken! I’m putting together the 85 XC500 version with the uptight pipe and Powerdynamo Vape ignition all rebuilt should have it ready to fire this weekend. Great video!
If this bike had a FMF Fatty pipe on it,I’m gonna go out on a limb by saying she would be the king of ping. I know you would never find a fatty pipe for it and really there probably wasn’t one ever made for it. The compression that this bike has is where she gets the nice pop from
I rode that bike in Wareham Mass,what a awesome handling machine!!!! The power he's not kidding 2 gears is all you need, it will pull your arms out of the socket. I had a 250 WXC the guy that owned the 500 needed a rest. That is a monster!!!
A Bute and a Brute! Had a 390 with the 430 head kit and it was one of my favorites Ever!! I grew up on Elsinore/CR bikes had that 40year old thing so went out in 05 and bought a crf450r..whoo surprised me. After riding two strokes whole life with a cr500 as my last bike...just completely different! I was impressed and after I got the new worn off it and experienced speed wobbles at top speed downhill with a stiff wind at my back and on pavement I sold it.
I would gladly allow this masterpiece to put me in the hospital 😂
I think we can all agree this is a better masterpiece than any electric bike will ever be lol
When Husqvarna was Swedish!
Next to the 1983 RM500 this has to be the 2nd best most gorgeous motorcross bike ever built

Listen to that freaking thing.
What an absolute masterpiece!!!! I love it
I can feel the spokes vibrating the spokes lose from California. I wanted one in the worst way when I was young enough to hang on... Cool bike!
STUNNING good looks! All those years ago they made that thing RIGHT to look amazing even to today's standards ✅️👌😁

I had the 85 CR 250 , it looked exactly like the 500 and it was also very fast and had the excellent Ohlin's suspension
Words can't describe a bike like this.
Amazing, way ahead of the competition at the time. Looks like a modern 1995 bike.
Husq Varna means house by river in Swede . Their logo is a gun sight.
I LOVE your channel! Your passion for these classics, bikes is awesome! Both in preservation, and restoration!

That is one gorgeous big bore motocrosser. Love it's colors, and the graphics on the tank.
These late 80's huskies are some of the best looking bikes from any year in my opinion. Redoing an 87' WR250 right now!
il y a 25 ans je ridais avec ce husqvarna un bonheur merci
