You can see the bear at 3:56

this should simply be titled "I saw a black bear for 1/4 of a second".

Good to know there are still others keeping the old bikes alive. Sweet ride and AWESOME trails. Cheers from Oregon

3:57 There's the bear :)

"VS" is a bit of a stretch.

Sooner or later you can make a video CR500 VS tree.

You can hear this guy's heart beating, both before and after.

I thought i was gonna crash watching your video, but that shows how experienced you are riding a motorcycle.

I love that second where you let off the throttle, pretty sure everyone could tell exactly what went through your mind. "What's that thing?" *lets off throtlle* "Oh, look its a...it's a... IT'S A BEAR!!" *TWIST*

I hope you read this comment because I want to say that is some very skilful riding on such tight trails with all that power, mad props

So this must be the closest an Earthling can come to riding a speeder-bike on the forest moon of Endor.

Who else thought he was gonna get chased by a bear? :D

Thumbs down always for deceptive titles. That stuff animal teddy bear wasn't even thinking about him. He turned in opposite direction.

Phenomenal riding skills! I had a CR125 once, and that scared me at times. I can't imagine the all out 'balls to the wall' torque and power of a CR500, but your video helps! Cheers!

Fuck ya ...2 strokes for life !!

Nice bike! I have the same year Honda, only a 1995 CR250R. Parked my 4-strokes, gonna race the 2-stroke from now on. Husky TC250 coming my way in two weeks!

That clickbait though xD Fucking LOL

I was WAY more scared of the trees coming at your face at 30 mph than any bear.... bad video title!! But, GREAT riding! So, undecided as to whether I vote up or down.... damn you...

My first thought was "wow I love this camera angle" Helmet cams go everywhere. Great job great video.

That was brief, but cool. At least it wasn't right in your path. I almost hit a deer while riding a CR125M on a trail many years ago. The darned thing was running through the woods perpendicular to the trail and I was tapped into 4th gear if I remember right. It crossed right in front of me, and I missed it by about 10 or 12 feet. I slowed down after that! Nice riding, and watch out for those trees too! Catching air on a corner, you'll fly straight while the trail curves away from you. Voice of experience here, lol.

you have a lot of balls to be flying through basically hairscramble trails at 30 mph lol that's crazy I like speed but I don't like going fast around trees.. you put your face into a tree at thirty miles an hour your going to be messed up.. but cool video don't listen to all the other guys being pricks I think it was fun just watching you fly through the trails lol

Good riding! You got talent.

smooth, fast trail. i like it. not too narrow either, looks like good drainage. whats the grip level typically. is this public land? what more can you ask for in a trail, you can ride all day without getting tired

those are some sweet trails. anyone know what state and where those trails are. would love to ride there

This changed my life. Thank you.

now i Wanna see cr500 vs Alien

You can first see it at 3:56. It turns and goes the other way. If it decides it wants lunch, then what do you do? Which part of Michigan is this?

As I sit here watching this video I can't help but think.... Man those trails look like the ones from home. Sure enough, I read the description and its michigan. Best trails ever. What part of michigan? Looks like rose city area

3:55

just goto 3:57 for the blink of a bear...........SAD......

where is this?!?! I live in Michigan and I can't find any good trails that aren't full of sand

when I joined KZfaq this is the first dirt bike video I watched

so let me get this straight everyone thinks this guy should go full out??? its a trail not a moto track and really u cant even go full out on a track except to hit triple and straightaways really its just throttle control which this guy seems to have a very good skill set in based on the fact hes riding a 500 in a tight trail

I seen the bear but very slightly but it was there... Anyway what year is ur cr500 I want a cr500 so bad but can't find one for a good price

Props on your riding skills. bought an XR500R from a friend that turned and bought a CR500R, all I can say is OMG!!! the XR is e ought for anyone, the CR500R is about as close as you can get to strapping onto a pissed of Bull, hands go numb after 5 mins!!

it wasnt really a vs but more of you scaring the crap out of a bear who was prob constipated....

Terrible. I want my 5:07 back 👎👎👎👎

I knew this was Michigan as soon as I saw the video lol. Is this in Roscommon/Kalkaska County by chance?

I love Michigan trails especially right after it rains.

Bear at 3:56 Dont waste your time

Great Trails where is it at? what State and where?

Where at in michigan are these? before i read the description i was thinking those look like the trails i ride on

what year is that bike? 92-96? Looks she's in great shape and sounds great! I love how you're ripping but barely on it the whole time lol

in between trees side to side down a mesmerizing winding trail. nothing better!

this was a great video even without the bear sighting, those trails look sick a hell

i love how when he sees the black bear he starts going fast for the first time in this video

that thing is a beast!!!! you handle it very nicely. so much power on demand its just Krazy!!! ya I seen the bear, funny stuff. I once almost drove into a moose crossing the trail, one more second slower and we would have met. awesome bike, awesome rider. ride on.

How many gears does it haves ? and you have to shift with clutch or not?

Were in Michigan is this? Cause I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

hey where in Michigan was that clare county , or leota st Helen area

Damn, someone knows what the hell he is doing. Im a rider myself and this video had me on pins and needles. Great video dude, and I have to say I didn't see the bear the first time I watched

i bet when that bear heard that 2 stroke humming he was like damn thats a lot of bees

AHAH that Homer Simpson yell hahaha amazing! Yo pensé que lo iba a perseguir...

Fuck yeah a big bore 2-stroke being rung out awesome riding man!

Thank you kind sir You are a true hero

The suspension on that bike is something else.

Is that up at Camo Grayling?

Still the most powerful two stroke in 25 years. God I wish this thing was still produced

Did you incrust heart beats on the soundtrack at 4:56? Or what?

Quick glimpse of bear, but Dam can you ride !! You was hauling !

I could hear your heart beat at the end of the vid. Some adrenaline!!

I seen the black bear it was on your left I'm glad you didn't stall out lol that was some great trail riding buddy

Man I never knew there were places in this world that have that many trees. I was born and raised in Arizona. We have lots of good riding in the desert but that place just amazed me!

Where exactly is the moment when the bike is supposed to fight the bear? i must have missed it.

Sick trails riding man! I have yet to hit the trails, I have some decent trails downhill from my house. Only problem is ppl decided to block entrance with small to medium brances. Ppl like that disgust me, my friend though is getting his fix soon and when he does I'll go with him... since he's been down there after the blocked passage, and heck I hate trail riding alone. :p

where in michigan is this........ please answer .... just looking for a place to ride

That was pretty crazy! I just was super close to a cub while shredding on a trail and rode with it for about 15 feet until the trail turned. I didn't wanna see the mom bear, but it may have been on its own, as it was such a large cub

Today this was me on Red Mountain speeding off the summit on an old forest byway. A big brown sow came at me down through the trees. And then after a short road chase was running downhill. Toward where the next turn of road would take me. As unwilling to accept an ambush by a smart mama bear I braked and reversed direction. Taking a longer ride off the summit. A crappy horse trail down to the state highway.

where are you at? the upper peninsula?

where at in Michigan are you riding

Can someone let me know where the bear moment is? I'm not watching 5 min 7 seconds for a flash of bear.

where where you in michigan i know its more toward the north

you can hear buddys heart beating so fast when he turns off the bike

This looks familiar... Where in MI is this?

That was pretty awesome man, where exactly in Michigan is this? I'm guessing the UP?

love the sound of big bore two stroke

This man has some serious bike riding skills

I seen it at 3.57 time yeah on the left side of your bike oouuuw awesome

where in Michigan are you riding

details of where these trails are? i wanna play!!!

Holy shit, this guy takes "Ride hard or go home!" serious!

how long was this guy locked in a cage and fed only gunpowder before they let him out to ride that bike

i love this wiew of the camera

Is that a public trail or something on your/ a friends property?

thank you! I knew that video should be about 3 second long : )

A 2-stroke 500. Now that's a real man's bike. Is that trail one big loop?

where in Michigan is this. ive kicked a couple of turkeys but have never seen a bear

where in the video was the bear??? can someone help me

Is there a thing like rally cars but with bikes? that's what this video reminded me of, high speed with some crazy looking terrain

Thank you!

Very cool riding video. But really? Bike vs bear? I got a glimps of a bear that you scared the shit out of as you rode by. Hahaha!

That bear was like "well I guess I'll just cross this trail to get to m... HOLY SHIT A DIRT BIKE!"

Ok, CR500? That is BOSS!!! That bike could catch a cheetah in full sprint. Sweet vid. Did you take it out of first gear?

LOL! I have come around corners on my mountain bike and come within 10 feet of black bears looking right at me----not for long!! I cannot believe how fast those big bears can run and jump when taken by surprise. Fortunately I was always going downhill and spooked the beejezusm out of them---as well as me. No time to think---just keep going--the bears are of the same mind, too!

Ever since I first seen it my dream bike has been the ATK Intimidator. a 700cc 2-stroke with over 75HP stock that only available through special order. There is a motocross version and a super motard version The last time I checked (2-3 years ago) they were in limited supply and available only by special order through them. They were priced over $9000. I don't think I'll be riding one any time soon so its back to dreaming

where in michigan was this,Grim hill?

More appropriate title: "CR500 sees a glimpse of black bear running"

Yeah must be that, I like the rush to try staying ahead of your back wheel :D

what year is that bike?

Let me guess u never got out of 2nd or 3rd gear?
