Wolverine on a cr 80, cool
Hes actually captain Kaplan with the best bike collection I've ever seen. Guys cool af
🤣
Is that the wizard that says can we bring inside Ken” - I love that- you guys aren’t playin around - honest- integrity, passion and just - yeahhh I’m jealous lol. Serious. Such a beautiful machine
Shwazanagger on an Elsinore- that wheel comes up I think ... like a few inches on one of the laps- I’m gonna find - it’s amazing what the way restore these machines ! Unreal 🙌🏻🇺🇸👌🏻
Not wolverine u blind that's clearly sabertooth
When I was ten years old, my best friend got this exact bike for Christmas. Keep in mind that we were used to riding go karts and mini bikes. The first time I rode that CR80 I thought, "Greg's parents are trying to kill him!" For a 70 pound kid, that thing was an absolute ROCKET.
Amazing comment dude:)
Yes ,It IS a rocket with 70 pound kid on it !
Dude...that was funny!
Nate Sticknee you know who else worked their ass off? Greg's parents.
Yep. I rode my cousins 85 after getting off my 250f and thought the same thing.
My first bike when I was 12! I’m 51 now and still riding/racing dirt bikes! Tough habit to kick 🤪👌
Right there with you !!
Chris T I could relate still doing the same myself at 50 it’s in your blood! At 12 I had an 82 RM 80 good times!
Me and two friends spent a day drag racing each other and swapping.81 cr80 vs.81 yz 125 vs dt 360. All Evan!
This was my dream bike when I was 12
I started at 12 still 12💀
I had a 1980 when I was 10 I was all of 90 pounds I was literally on a rocket ship!!! Flushing Queens didnt know what hit it! I could carry the wheel 2 in off the ground till 60 mph! Hes not even near the power band. Wow alot of us 50 year olds are smiling right now showing our kids this video
Didnt expect to see ND here! what a world...
My dad rode mine as much as i rode it. After seeing me rip on it my friends parents told thier kids they wernt allowed to ride it or ride back of me. That bike was a little buzzsaw. I'd hit 55-60 mph on our little 30 mph road in seconds and neighbors just shook thier heads.
NEUTRAL DROP love your channel🤘
Lol I always wanted a dirtbike growing up but I was broke af
My best friend had a 1980 CR80 and I had a 1980 YZ80 and it was whoever got the best take off would win the race. We spent more time riding in our neighbor streets than trails. Cops hated us because they couldn't catch us.
Goodbye rear suspension... :)
My first bike was a 1980 Honda CR80. I was 12 and weighed 98lbs. That bike taught me respect for the 2 stroke motor. I dusted all other bikes to the first corner.....I miss the exhilaration of that bike!!!!
Buddy had an 80 cr80. Absolute ripper
That sound brings me back to to my first MX bike a Suzuki 82RM80 w/Full Floater suspension I was less than 5ft.& 70lbs. Great memories!😄
Honda motorcycle Quality and engineering is timeless!
Any Japanese bike that starts with S is good.
@@gogogeedus shonda syamaha sawasaki and zuzukiare the best. In that order
@@disyokerr :)LOL
Never get tired of this one - thank God for 2 strokes ! Life’s awesome!! Thanks for liking my comments guys ! 🙏🤝 you guys Rock !!
That sounds exactly like the best thing I have ever heard
This is such a awesome video, showing how powerful these little babies are , thank you for always responding and posting all these awesome videos- dimepiece all the way !!!
Had KX 80 1982 in 7th grade kids thought I was rock star
Brings back memories 👍🏼
Man those little bikes will fly
This is the little motorcycle that started my love for two stroke mx bikes back in 1982! I’ve been in love with them ever since!
Growing up on my country block we had about all the dirt bikes covered. I had a 1978 Suzuki RM80. The Honda CR, Yamaha YZ, Kawasaki KX and KDX, and even a Hodaka Steen 100 were all represented... My RM would eat them all!
rm would kill all class mates
They were so small and ferocious back then!!!! I always thought these cr80s looked so trick with their piggy back reservoirs and red engines😍 I was well moved on to 125’s by 81, but I remember mini expert riders giving me fits on my 125 at open practice days! Those were certainly great times for moto!!!!
Great looking little beast!
Im watching from the uk and i had this exact bike in 81 ! Brings back so many happy memories for me, im 50 now thanks for showing this !
I had a big wheel cr85, thing ripped and sounded amazing. Can't beat these 2 stroke Honda's.
My first true dirt bike. Great memories on cr80 and then 125 and then, cr500 that tried to kill me many times. Lol. Nice bike.
I had an '80 and '81 model CR80 when they first. They were rockets. The '80 the faster of the two. Huge powerband blast in the upper midrange. A real monster.
I could watch ride and praise this little rippa forever !!! Thanks for always responding !! Love you guys
Those Hondas last forever!
I had that same bike when I was a kid and remember the details quite well. Thanks for the great memories!
My daily dose of Kaplan’s customary made with pride and passion - Elsinore- anything you guys touch turns to gold 🙌🏻🙏
when ur a teenager thats 1 awesome little bike..i rode a 1987 cr80 from age 13 to 17..what a blast
I wish my parents had bought me a bike like that. All I got was a carton of smokes and a punch on the arm.
Justin L - "Hey, smoke up, Justin!"
Nice “smoke up johnny”
This made me sad but laugh at the same time lol. I think it's the punch in the arm bit lol
Breakfast club?
Still have the arm?
I just picked up a super good condition 82 100R, came with original service manual and original carburetor. The kid before me who had it, took SUPER good care of this bike.
I spent most of my life in the north east, In the year 2009, I was done with winter ! Moved south !!
One of the best things I ever did ! No more snow, no more cold...AND... MOTOCROSS WEATHER ALL YEAR LONG !!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing man! I restored one a few years ago. One of the best 80cc of its time.
I had a 1980 80R and it was beast! Now I have a 97 80R in rebuilding ground up and gonna shred it this summer. Cant wait!
I’m sitting in Texas thinking you’re crazy riding with snow THEN I see another bike ride by on the street 😂😂 Love it
saw that too and I live in the NE lol no way too cold for me I'm trying to move where I can wheelie all year.
That sound took me back to my 82 RM 80& 87 KX 80 I put a 105 kit on It ! Man were they fast!!! But I was 80 to 90lbs back then. Love your content
Kid in our neighbourhood had one early eighties. I had since moved on to 125's by then but got to rip on it for a few minutes. Brilliant little mx'er almost as fast as my 125 !
Oh yeh little screamers. I rode a 79’ YZ 80 to Jr high. Teachers hated, passengers, not so much LOL. Hello to all the guys up there, Ken, the techs., everyone that helps keep all these classic bikes alive and kicking.
Love this, I remember buying bikes and feeling the exhaust before first kick every time, check if it has been warmed up first..
This vid makes me want to buy a ticket to UK
That thing freaking rips, man!!
aksumiro no it’s not sounds just like my ct85rb
Think it was spinning the rear wheel the grounds a bit frosty there
It’s fast but mine is faster but you have an adult on that one so I’m not sure if mine is faster mine is a 2006 cr 85 big wheel if anyone knows let me know
With the Kaplan touch that bike is better than out of the box - air cooled psychopath 2 stroke !!! Can’t never get enough of this little “””” 80 ...takin Sr. For a ride !!!! Whoever bought this you better be sleeping with it ! Small with a powerband from hell !
I had an 83 yz80 bored out, cylinder ported and performance reeds. I was just over 100 lbs and it was an absolute rocket! All those 80cc bikes will really surprise you, you think because they are small that they aren't fast but that thing made more power than the 82 kdx175 I traded it for, and was a lot lighter. Made for a fun ride whenever I wasn't wrenching on it.
That was absolutely incredible. I had a YAmaha YZ 80 1981. Mom and dad bought it for me brand new when I was just 12 years old. Best bike I ever owned. Mine had a plastic tank though and it ripped also. The BEST years of my life riding that bike.
@Brian Gisler, I was 13 in 1981. My best friend had a 1981 YZ 80H, and our buddies bought two leftover 1980 CR80Rs from Bettencourts in Bridgewater MA. Needless to say, my 1978 Suzuki DS80 could not even remotely keep up! But...... fast forward to May of 2020..... and youll see that I currently have a 1980 CR80R and a 1981 Yamaha YZ80H in my collection. Both are one kick starters, and both are mostly original, the Honda more so. I often go downstairs to my shop, sit on one of my rolling work stools, and slide back and forth between them, literally looking at them for wayyyyyyy longer than Ill admit here and remembering the old days.
I got a 1980 Honda CR 80 for my 12th birthday in 1983. It was my first motorcycle. I loved that bike.
Thank God !!! 🙏 All the hard work you’ve been doing , the time and effort - it’s gonna be great ! I’ll be watching! Love it- seems like everyone forgot about the beautiful 2- stroke skittles. Especially the red one. My fav too, the green. All of them lol, awesome man , love the way you are soo involved in the community too, you guys are the best !!! My daily dose of some old school Elsinore 🇺🇸🤙🏻🙏🤝🙌🏻💪🏻
I used to have an 82 model with the mono pro link and plastic tank when i was a young boy,vivid memories of how fast it was.Great video
Hello to the Kaplan family and team - if I can go back to work , I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to make up my mind of all the toys in your office!!! Man I love these babies !!!! Super fast -
Skittles, the red skittle !!! I apologize for not showing up on you tube - fishing season on Long Island robbed me of my time LOL
That beautiful seat says it all - you guys are super passionate about 2- strokes , I love it !! God bless you Pops and the whole team !!!!
💯🇺🇸🏝❤️🙏
One of many beautiful restoration’s from the Kaplan crew - especially my fav
pretty sure he said “bone stock original” not restored
@@gusbaucom1444 I apologize, I must be imperfect 🤦♂️…. But that bike is something ain’t she 💯🙌🏻🇺🇸
Very nice. My neighbor had a 1981 brand new when he was 12. I got an 1982 the following summer. First Pro-Link CR80. Was Kool !!
I had a new one exactly like it at 12 and 13 years old. My older brothers were scared of it. I want it!
So, I legit was just down in my shop at 0330 rubbing, fondling, polishing, and overall just basically staring at my 1980 CR80R, and 1981 YZ80H. I came upstairs to refresh my drinkie at 0405, and fire up TH-cam and this video is numero uno. My CR80R starts on a firstie like that almost every time. I was close to taking it around “The Loop” after watching this, but smartened up and decided I was better off getting some rack lol. My story from back in the day is similar to many here in the comments. At 52, I know I cant ride like I did at 12/13, but I can rip my CR or YZ any time just for that freakin assault on the senses RUSH that they provide. If I can find a 1980-1981 RM80 and a 1981-1983 KX80, Im getting them too!!! Sorry for the long winded ramble, thanks for the row thru the gears Ken!
Amen brother! 80's are The bomb!!!
I had same bike when I was 13. Absolutely goes like shit off a shovel. My mate had a go and put him in hospital for three months. Band kicked in took the bike from underneath him and could not de throttle he hit a jump and took off like the space shuttle lol. Proper animal of a bike.
The CR 80 RA 1980 And the CR 80 RB 1981 ELSINORE RED DEVILS WOW all they did was lift in every gear, I used to blow off the latest rm and cr 80s and they would be scratching there heads, HOW. Definitely a little weapon and a classic piece of motocross history. Awesome god bless Australia.
You guys tweet these things like no tomorrow!!! I love when he says bring it inside - on the polyurethaned floor !! Soo beautiful- patina- honest humble bikes with the golden touch only from Kaplan. Yes I got a question- can you make more !? Lol love that vid time for another view
I remember I had a 1983 CR80r and it always started at first kick even a little kick too it was so easy to start it , love them 80’s CR
That wheel definitely comes up at one of the runs - you’re nuts dude - I love it ! To see that little RIPA” take you for a ride- and how you respect it - the 5 hundo’s I’m scared of ....
lol - I’ll never get tired of this video
It's an 80 cc Two Stroke. So that means it's competitive in the 250 cc Four Stroke classes!
No it’s competitive In the 150cc class 125cc 2 strokes are competitive in the 250 class. You can’t race against a full size bike on a half sized bike on a track they won’t let you
I am 41 year's young and still riding my 1984 and 1994 cr80r's 🤘👍💙

Kaplan dude you make me yearn. Have you ever yeared? It's not a good feeling lol. Just got a 1985 act 200x mostly stock just like I had in the 8th grade so some of my yearning had gone away until I watch your videos lol. My fav videos of yours is the restored old YZ's
I was asleep - ( 3:45 am ) wake ups for work- I soo wanted to see the show on discovery- I’m sure I can find it here. I love this bike- all your bikes. Let’s get this video viral !
I had a RM370. Anybody remember that bike. Loud as anything. Parents made me coast it off the hill and away from the neighborhood before I started it. I also had a 1980 CR250 red rooster... great bike. Left start crank.
My first motocross back in 89-90 cr 80 im 42 now its the excact same model cant believe you guys found this it was knicknamed the red rocket and it was faster than any kx 80 rm 80 or yz 80,s at the time and they were the more modern bikes round about me at the time and they were all liquid cooled except my rocket air cooled 😃 PEACE AND GOD BLESS FROM SCOTLAND== THE BRAVE!!

Beautiful bike - thank you for sharing! I had a 78 RM 80 and it couldn't hold a candle to this CR when it came out.
Kawasaki and Honda was the KINGS of 2smokers no doubt!
I learned to really ride on my ‘85 cr 80, the ol’ man punch it out .20 over and didn’t she scream! This just made my day! What a dime!
I can’t wait till you get the rest of the museum restored that’ll be awesome
SWEET! Love 80cc 2 strokes!!! manageable fast fun!!! And love the short exhaust of that era...full sound on!
i love the old honda 2 stroke sound, late 70's to early 80's 2 strokes, maybe even 90's 2 strokes... they just have a certain sound that makes you smile
That powerband kicking in is so nostalgic... Takes me back 2 my childhood hammering my kx 80 😂

I had an 1981 CR125. As a 14 year old kid, it was downright amazing. The powerband was sick as hell.
It’s absolutely BONE COLD - dinepiece outta the box 📦- that little ripper I’d have next to my bed - let me shut up and enjoy this awesome video- Kaplan Cycles - ROCKS 🎸 🇺🇸
That thing is a mini 500 - I hope you do another video of you RIPPIN another 80 “ especially the Elsinore 🇺🇸🤝🙏
