Ian, i did a similar thing, sold my bored and cammed crf450 as soon as i rode a mates ktm300, and went and bought one. I do love the raw power of my cr500, but the 300 is such a nice bike, smooth tractable power right down to idle.. and an animal when you get on it and let the revs rise 🤘

@@peteuncle2935 I haven't had the opportunity to throw a leg over a 500 two stroke yet but I can only imagine... I know how crazy the power is on my 300 with a high compression head on it. RK TEC makes some awesome custom milled heads for a great price

Best era

The new crf450 makes even more than that "record highest" 500

Some guy just deleted his comment asking "why are the 450s slower then". He must've looked it up and realized how wrong he was lol

You have to get the ignition re dun around the fly wheel if you can find someone that can do it the Cr do not ned it like the kx I had a huge Down pipe on it Bigger Fuel tap hose and Carburettor ,, a Great Bang on It on Methanol 11second 1/4 mile 125 mile an Hour on a dirt bike;;;;;;;;;;KaaTooNG.......KaaTooNG.......

Oh hell yeah they pull way harder then any four stroke lol. 250s 2 strokes pull as hard as a 450 n a 500 is insane. Lol. Even the air cooled 500s where beast an pulled hard.

I own an 81 YZ 465 what a smooth motor that is! I had cr480r and have ridden the KX 500 and cr500s, KX was an 85 I think it was air cooled the Cr 500 was an 85 and for me it was quite the rocket I was like 21 I’m 49 still love riding and still love the big 2 smokes!

Yes we ship worldwide

At the crank 60, rear wheel 53.6

Yeah I find it funny how people still think the 500 2 stroke is so godly. Modern 4 strokes have surpassed 2 strokes nowadays but they deny it. Tune a 21 yz 450 with simple bolt on mods and itll pull away from their modded 500s aswell as turn a faster lap time being more manageable with the power.

Love it

Lol,😆

Get a kawaski KLX650R enduro spec, nice and cheap. Easiest kick starter I've ever owned and pretty quick for an old bike, people following on new KTM's can't believe the way I can out drag them on turns!

Japanese bikes are American patriotism?

@@warrenkrywko3704 I was mostly referring to Kaplan and how some people seem to think America is such a bad place. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. But, yes, the Japanese did manufacture these bikes primarily for the US market and US racing as US consumers made up a significant portion of total motocross bikes sold worldwide.

That is actually 35yr old technology vs modern technology. Honda detuned the CR500R engine from 1985 on. No matter how you look at it, you have got to give it to the two stroke engine design. Let’s be honest (yes, you spent 10K on a new 450, it’s all good), taking everything into account, the two stroke engine is the best design for motocross racing.

@@michaelmeykens3437 no.. the 2 stroke engine is clearly NOT the best design for motor cross racing. The modern 4t 450 only makes marginally better hp than a yz 250 2t. And within a couple pndft of torque. Yet destroys it in anything other than a drag race to the next corner.. Simply do to usable power over a much broader power curve Power that always thier Resulting in what really wins races.. TRACTION. The 2t unloads everything it has all at once. Wich might make great peak hp and torque numbers and be a blast to ride. But it's shit in comparison to usuable power. It's like high hp drag racers. You can only use what you can put down. I've owned some nasty cr 500. I've rode nastier kx 500. I've blown up my share of 450's and I currently ride a yz 250 2t. Cause I love it and will take it over a 4t every day. But plain and simple modern 4t didn't replace 2t because of peak power numbers. They replaced them because of how easy to use and broad thier power is. Wich 100% makes them the better racer. Oh and the 4t bangs out much higher rpm. Wich allows the 450 to literally walk away from the big 500 2t on the big end. Given traction 500 all day till 5th gear redline then 450 just walks on buy

Tpi. Sucks bbr makes a 500 kit for the 250/300 ktm. So you can get that buttery smooth 2t motor in 500. And a power valve for you cr guys...It ain't cheap thoe. Probably cost less to just have you crank balanced properly and motor blue printed. And then ported to your needs. But then your gonna need suspension

@@dormantmenace said a whole lot of nothing. You wrote 2 essays just for no one to read them lmao

@@dormantmenace btw its a brc 500 kit and it is absolutely shit. They are known to grenade very often

Cause they got twin cylinder's easier to make more horsepower since bore and stroke ratio is more ideal

Twin cylinder

Yes

Refreshing seeing a comment who actually knows what they're talking about on here. The exact reason I sold my 85 500 for a 20 450.

Ya they are 2nd lowest next to Suzuki bud. The ktm 450's have taken the hp wars for years now. My '03 kx125 makes 42hp at the crank. 31 at the tire.

@@romper4444 KTM was the hp leader for the longest time, until 2019. Honda has been the hp champ since then.

Basically what itll prove is modern stock 4 stroke 450s are comparable to modded 500s in power now a days. Fuel injection and capabilities of tuning digitally are a marvel, wait til variable timing cams are used like today's modern sohc and dohc high performance cars.

Make em an sell on Ebay. Build a name!

@@Davido50 he has a name that’s Adam Millar lol.

65 rwhp to 68 some prefer less easier to ride

@@KaplanCycles can I take that bet? Brand new 2021 crf450rwe. 3 pulls, take the average, mine makes more power than either 500.

2 built 500s vs stock 450cc not a fair comparison 😑

@@KaplanCycles I'd say a 21 yz 450 with the gytr tuner used properly could meet the power needed to match those 2 strokes head for head. Dirt rider achieved achieved 53 + rwhp in stock form so with simple bolts ons and tune it could easily exceed the 500s you dynoed.

@@KaplanCycles Any reason you're backing out of the bet?

51hp at the rear wheel. Husky 500 was 49, KTM 495 was 51/52. Japanese bikes were all 46-49hp.

Always thought husaberg was interesting, they were the company that showed 4 strokes could whoop big bore 2 strokes in the gp's.

@@coltoncarpenter3790 iv got a 2002 FX650E. Tractor torque.

Lmfao

SMR is 56hp at the rear wheel. SX is 53/54.

Lmao at the crank maybe 53 @ rear wheel

You couldn’t be more wrong hahaha. I’m a big fan of two strokes as well but to say modern four strokes are throw away motors is just ridiculous. They’re more reliable than any two stroke ever lol. You’re mistaking the old 4 strokes like the 426 and shit, the ones that needed the hot starts and were shimming valves after every ride. I ride the piss out of my 2016 450 and haven’t had to open up the engine once. You’re kinda like a grandparent that thinks having a cell phone or a computer is witchcraft lol.

3 years of ownership on both new y 250 two stroke and yz 450f. Fuel, oil and engine rebuild costs...yz 450 cheaper to run and less injuries due to controllable power. Medical bills aren't cheap.

@@happyman8488 classic 4t rider comment

No this is a mod motor also, entire top end is TMR

Not really

Thats cause the big bore 2 strokes were never developed for max hp in motorcross. Only the 125s were

Yup just look at the moto gp older 250 2 strokes. Those things ripped and the 500 gp bikes probably put out 200hp.

There's a couple of reasons the 2 stroke don't manage that; The technology is decades older for a start, and they can't run a very high compression because the fuel is effectivly contaminated with oil, thus reducing effective octane and knock resistance. The 4 strokes are pretty cutting edge high compression racing motors and a lot has been learned since 2 stokes were left behind.

With the new four stroke You lose out having a motor that when it blows up and if you ride it, it will blow up - it ain’t no old school Xr or xl that can have years and years of trouble free riding. The new four stroke blow up almost in two stroke lifespans and cost insane money to rebuild. That’s why they make the power they do, while it’s amazing for a regular bike owner it really not a smart investment you’re better off with a cr125 or 250 then the four stroke equivalent unless you have more money then me. Or just buy a low hp non race based motor.

Yamaha and Suzuki are underpowered compared to the 450 competition (Honda, ktm, husky, gasgas) they all make around 63 at the crank

@@RT22-pb2pp who's gonna tell this guy? Lmao

@@RT22-pb2pp stopped reading when you compared a 350 pound xr dual sport with an MXer. No wonder a lot of you guys think 500s are beasts lol

@@RT22-pb2pp yup, sold my 85 (for a fortune) because like you, he thought it was the most powerful and fastest dirtbike there was. I wasn't about to tell him my new 2020 was not only faster, but more powerful as well. Here's a nice comparison between a cr500 and the underpowered 08 crf450. Even that slow CRF turned 6 second faster laptimes. The 19+ CRFs make about 8 more hp than the 08s (and a couple more than cr500s) www.vitalmx.com/forums/MotoRelated,20/Shootout-CRF450-VS-CR500,60661
