I cant get enough of the microphone toss.😀 You guys are hilarious. In such a tough year, everything you guys do brings me joy. I restored my 1988 Fourtrax 250r this year because you guys really fired me up and awakened the 2 stroke beast within me. Myself and my eleven year old daughter worked on it together, because of you and junior. It was a true experience for her, and I am grateful that you do what you do, it has gotten us through this year. Thank you Ronald Tartaglia. 😊

I had a 1982 CR480 that I bought in 1984 as a leftover and it was still in the crate for $1,500.

The sound of a old 2 stroke reminds me of the old days in the woods

"Just gonna run it through the gears so you can hear every gear."... LOL! I Just started watching this channel recently and immediately subscribed. Guess I'm kinda late to the game, but what an amazing thing this guy is doing for these vintage bikes, riders, racers and enthusiasts. Got my first bike ( 1970 Honda SL 70) on my 7th birthday. 47 years later and I still have that same excitement and love for cycles I had with my first ride. I've probably owned at least 30 different bikes of all makes and sizes since then. God Bless him for keeping the memories alive for us older folks, and these beautiful machines alive for the younger folks to appreciate. :)

I love how Ken finds a proper matching outfit for ever bike he does a video on. 🤘😂

I bought a used one of those in 93, rode the woods and trails on it for 3 years. Sold it in the fall of ‘96, it was a beast! I had 4 kids by then and figured I better get rid of it before I killed myself on it.

Men rode that monster when “men were men” and had steel balls!!!

I had one of those.. bad ass to the bone. Hated the left kicker but I learned to live with it. My step son’s friends wanted to ride it so I told him if you can start it you can have it .... he left with a messed up foot.

Yo my dad just bought that bike cant wait to see the bike. Such a clean bike. Can’t believe he got it for 6300. This bike was his childhood

I just put my deposit down on this bike! I’ve never been so excited about anything in my entire life!! Ken, you brought back too many memories!!! You guys are awesome! Although my wife said if I watch this video one more time she’s going to burn my cell phone!!!

It’s amazing how fast the CRs were 40yrs ago! 🇯🇵🏁

I knew he would rip it lol. It’s almost impossible to ride a big bore bike and not let it eat a few times lol. The feeling of the power is too damn good to take it easy lol. Good shit!!

Nothing sounds like an old CR I wanted one so bad as a kid.

Air cooled big bores are the best💪

Always loved the look of the 480's ! 👍

That bike was one of the baddest dirt bikes ever made. Back in the day it was between that bike and the Yamaha 490.

During the 1980 Maico was the king of the open class. So Honda decided to purchase a Maico and study it. And the results were this bike. All the way down to the kick start on the left side and the drive train on the right.

Those things pull top to bottom . Badass..

I absolutely love my '82 480R. In the woods its 2nd and 3rd gear all day. I did swap on '86 cartridge showas and disk brake, "Ceet" safety seat (NOS), custom valved rear shock with '83 reservoir for adj comp damping, and wider pegs along with all the requisite off road protection for pipe, frame and levers. I kept the stock chamber but with a custom built silencer (need a Cobra SA yet to be USFS Legal) swapped to a Keihin Flat slide and V-Force reeds. The 480's do rip and sound, well simply, freaking awesome!! I would love to have that one in my garage next to mine. Great job on the refresh.

Love when Kaplan executes from the holeshot position! Says a lot about the bike and rider. No doubt it. The man can ride 🇺🇸

Nothing like the sound of a two stroke big bore. Thanks for the great memories.......

I had an 82 and I loved it. It would climb telephone poles if you could hang on. First gear was a little tall for tight trails but fire roads were where it really came alive. Sweet to see one in such nice shape. :)

Didn't everyone hear him say he wasn't gonna get on it...?? 🤣🇺🇸🤣

My step dad broke a flywheel key on his and it ran backwards literally. Gotta love Chadwick Missouri riding area! It was only about 19 years ago and he was still ripping one. I think it was an 83 480 with the starter on the wrong side. Didn't appreciate it back then for what it was or realize how skilled he was to be riding that monster up the rocky hill climbs.

Magoo ripped on those monsters!!..your videos are the best ken..can't wait to come to Rockville and check out the museum and hang out with all you nuts!!

Not gonna lie, these bikes scared the shit out of me as a kid. Now that I'm 6ft and 210 lbs I want one!

Bad ass bike. And brass knuckles on the side. Well chrome knuckles. That guy is the man

He said I just gonna run through the gears lol" awesome bike

Another fine piece of 2 stroke history. Keep up the great work.

That bike doesn’t just cut the grass; it harvests it!

Damn, left hand kick on that monster. Cool vid

I was camping out in Glamis one time and a guy in our group had one of these. I had never ridden one before so I asked him if I could try it out. Got it out to a section where I could really open it up and that thing scared the shit out of me. So much power.

That rear fender vibrating and that sweet sounding ri-tingtingting. That bike is a dream. Great content!

nothing better than the old CR's, thanks for the video

I had to come back to this episode. That bike is so nice!!

I owned one just like it... Never had one ounce of problems with it...except it chewing up rear tires!..lol..

Those “H” Style Honda Racing jerseys from back in the day were Legit! Awesome bike

She's a Ripper 👍

I saw that story of Kaplan America the other night on tv! It surprised me because i didnt hear about it. But it was bad ass. Congrats guys!

There's nothing better when watching a old vintage class on the motorbike track shit im 25 and have a 03 cr250 and I get goosebumps watching the old boys riding around that will be me and my bike then I get older living the drama I reckon haha

The caption reads “music” when it’s idling. Darn straight that’s what it is!!

That thing is rocket ship. Got to love those big bore hondas, they sound so mean and rip so hard.

Had the same bike used for trail riding was very hard to find any body to go riding with me. I was told by my friend's that if I continued to use this bike that they would no longer ride with me. They could not handle the roost. Lol

I had one it loved the revs pulled hard up high

the old "watch me start up my dirtbike" vid....vastly interesting....lol

OH SHIT !!!!! That is such an amazing bike...and I’m a YZ guy ! There is just something about the model designation printing on the seat cover that I always felt was just a mandatory motocross bike placard. It just looks bad ass !! And tough as nails !! Banana sandwich 😂😂😂😂

Says 'No stunt show folks" then goes into full send mode, lol.

He is the Captain Kaplan, legend.

These bad boys were the shit back in the day. Music to my ears!

82 cr 480s were great looking bikes ,mine would syphon oil if you ran it out of fuel and would rev wide open for 3 or 4 seconds !

This is excellent work. These bikes will take you places!

Nothing beats an old school air cooled 2 stroke.....speaks in volumes what kinda person you are to the community to be able to rip these gems around without the police bothering you

I bet your lawn care guy makes a good living, love the sound of these smokers!!

awesome bike!my 82 rm 250 would holeshot these all day long,not by much but hey was a 250

Super nice 480R. Late 70's early 80's CR best looking bikes ever.

"Im not gonna do any stunts"...proceeds to do said stunts...Love me some Kaplan America

Love it when my guy brings out the mic...sweet boots btw

Blue fork boots on a 1982 CR is sacrilegious. Get her back in black!

The sound of this thing is glorious.

Just living the dream! Awesome bike!!

love the big bore super pinger i did just find a restored 1984 red n white yz 490 wish i wasnt poor id own one

Wow that things a beast!!giver some pepper!!🔥🔥👍👍 You guys do excellent work👊💯"banana sandwich"😂😂

Oh man, they way this things just tares the grass up is wild!!

Ken, I really like your videos and commentary! Awesome how you rip around the property and park area across the street like a 18 year old on his first bike! I just noticed the Rambo knife and chrome knuckles attached to your belt! Coolness! Great stuff!

Beautiful bike! 😋 sounds amazing!

That sounds so nice !

As a kid from the desert, I seen all these crazy rides ripping down the road just dreaming I'd be riding them. Years later, I'm shredding it up on a '80s bike showing these modern guys how it's done. My shit was engineered with graphing paper and slide rulers. Fuck a computer

I love this channel!

What a beautiful bike!

This is an absolute stunning ripper

That baby look so fresh and clean kap💪😎

Looks amazing

I had one. Absolutely awesome 👍👍👍

Had one,loved it

I swear this champion mixes his milk with 2 stroke oil 25/1 before putting it in his coffee... what a legend

Sweet sound!

the brass knuckles.. the big knifes.. the wrist spikes..the boots.. i love it haha

That thing moves Kap Ken. Wow

Got the knife and the brass knuckles. Ready for fun.

God Bless America 🇺🇸 and God Bless Kaplan MC’s 🙏

I bet you it smells delicious! Hell of a job pipe looks sweet. Someone going lucky to own it

That sounds amazing.

loved hearing one of these or an IT 490 start up in the morning up here in wa state in the forest!!! 💨💨🌲🌲

Just got a red 1985 huffy racing30 RIGHT out of the box 😓 never ridden. It was won in a raffle once upon a time, it’s a bike they talked a lot about and I never seen one like this, don’t thing I’ve seen an ol racing huffy ever actually

2 stroke bikes back in the day were monsters.
