@@FinnsDirtbikeClips What about a Kawasaki H2R with dirt tires?

Yea teaching my son on this bike when he turns 7.

I rode a CR500 when I was a kid. I went from a CT70 trail straight to the CR500.

@MESSENGER01 LOL. My cousin was much older than me and raced local tracks on one. I basically took off and gunned the throttle in a straight line. Went through my grandparents garden in the blink of an eye....on accident. The power was unreal then. Heck...it's still unreal. CR125 was more than enough for me a few years later.

You can do a wheelie in every gear without using any clutch

I think 70ish hp

@DRZ22XX PRO my 250sx makes 50 hp too but i doubt itll pull anything like a 500

I did, first real bike was a yz250f and within a month I traded it for an yz400f. Cause you know, POWER!!! 😈

@@choppedculture326 thanks bro :)

Lmao!!!

Yup I bought an 89 cr500 when I was 19. Thankfully I blew the bottom end after having it a month or it woulda killed me. Lol

Hahaha!. that's for sure.

😂😂😂yeah no shit. Had a KX500. There was no real technique to riding it. You really just pointed it at an obstacle, you know, rock, building, mountain, 100ft triples and just blip the throttle and it was over before you knew it.

I felt they were to dam fast for the dirt lol I never went above my yz 125 on the dirt on the street different story

Dude Same *AUTHORATAH*

I imagine the kickback on it would break a leg.

😂

@ yawning kitty, No doubt.. Get on a cr500 and ride it for 45 minutes a lot of people couldn't do that but, like you said" the ones that rode a bike like this, they were in a special league of their own" no doubt about that.. I would like to have beast like the cr500..

@@thatcarguy6190 because he cant ride. Try a yz490 or even kx500

Me too, huge respect for anyone who can throw down a hard moto on these things

I wonder how would a modern 2 stroke direct injection 500cc motor would output in terms of power and direct injection even gives it better throttle response than ever before and also better fuel economy, it would be pretty scary.

I miss those days, it's been a while since I've been on one, my tt500 was alot of bike too. Sure miss it!

@@guily6669 you can only go so fast on a track it would just get to its spots a lil quicker but top speed wouldnt make much of a difference

​@@2stroketyson79that track was pretty smooth, could have much higher top speed with gearing

Put him on anything else and I’m sure he’d beat a lot of people

Totally agree, he's a solid rider.

That's the rule i have with mine!

thats what my dad would tell me too. if you can.t start it you can t ride it. .

👍👍 if you can’t start it you can’t ride it. But if you do start it ride it like you stole it. What I told my boys when they learned to ride.

Scott Armstrong cmon give him a break. He probably could’ve started it but there was a time crunch

You don’t have to be able to start a bike. Such thing as too much compression for one to handle, and for quite some time, I could hardly kick a yz250f. Just give him a break. IT’S A 500

Badass Grandpappy!

That's one RAD GRANDDAD

Very cool. Glad to hear

@@neilestenson6595 grand-brappy!

64 here still riding my 87

That my friend is an absolute fact. Its exactly what put me in a hospital bed with 9 broken bones. Loved my 87 YZ490 but she was the devil in disguise...😉

Yes, but do research first on anyone putting a wrench on the motor. Every knucklehead who's ever worked on 2 stroke mopeds will claim to be an expert. I wasted lots of time, cash and almost an entire motor ruined by an expert LT500 builder.

Lol yeah my dad had a friend who had a cr500 and he tried it out. He was up every gear. Also he had another friend who had a tuned rm 450 back in the day and that was fast.

They actually detuned those 85/86s at the factory because the pro riders said they were too fast! Unbelievable!

@@hodun8 Wasnt really until after 87 or so they started to attempt to mellow them out. But they are all ridiculous. 85/86 had the short rods making them more brutal. I did a hybrid build on my 86 when I couldn't find a short rod anywhere. Oem rebuilt and balanced crank with a cometic spacer and prox 87+ long rod paired with the 91mm wiseco piston. Was like the best of both worlds. Had several 500 guys agree my particular bike vibrated considerably less than most other 5other they rode while delivering all the same brutal power the way it was built. I miss that bike but had to sell due to financial reasons. Cant wait to build another even though I could never ride them to their potential.

Agree the 85-86 were the beasts. My friend had a 1985 KX500. I rode it once at glen Helen in San Bernardino. Still shaking 35 years later. It was that scary, it wanted to kill me. Careful with them.

I would say the low pipe CR500's 89 on smoothed out the power delivery, 85 was the first water cooled and big improvement but explosive delivery of power and rear drum brakes, they had more power and speed than the suspension really and could have occasional evil headshake at speed, still would love to get another, have an IT465 but it's not nearly the same,

Adam Finneran 😂😂😂😂😂

No i would recommend a maico 700

Adam Finneran it’s not his first bike, it’s his first ride on that bike

@@chanburrell4513 woooosh

Well I am 12 and got a cr250 as a upgrade from crf125f

I dont know about that ,when Honda released the 86 CR 500 the front forks were cartridge forks and the were like nothing even to compare to night and day difference from any other bike at it's time! I had a 87 CR500 That had the same super plush front forks only I had swapped out the stock rear shock with a OHLINS rear shock which is exactly what it needed to make the suspension close to a factory ride ...

Bike is the same , men is getting softer

Me to and a Cr250r 2stroke Borded 1982

Don’t EVER tell mom about that!

Well, my first bike was a KX500 1995 i still have it, mostly use it it the sand now but its a monster. I still have mine 20yrs later cause I'll never out grow it!

I learned on a 110cc pitbike at age nine. To think even that felt "too big" at one point is crazy. How old were you back then?

@@ollilehtonen6764 I was 11 years old when I first rode that thing. I'm still not used to that power, but when you grew up with it, it gets easier to ride. I have a Husqvarna TE 300i now and my dad still has his Honda CR 500

Hahaha 😂😂😂

When they came out ,there were no fast 4str. Dirt bikes, all too heavy, slow revving. That's why old guys know 500 2 str. Pwr

@@rogerdodrill4733 you have a solid point. I agree

If it backfires when you kick it, you'll get launched over the bars or have your knee broken on the brake lever clamp.

on cold starts and cold days, you blow through the carb over flow tube, helps clear the carb for a clean kick and start

Owner wasn’t making a joke

@@hondacr64 thanks

Just Ride wow Maico my grandfather had a 501 it was a beast!

Yeah, I had a Maico 490 & that was plenty scary....

I raced on and off for about 10 years. I tried a couple cr500s and usually the same result. Get off after a lap and hand it back "this thing is stupid"

When i was a boy in the very early '70s i seen my dads kx kick the heel completely off his boot. I was like, wow!

@@michaeleaster4047 There's definitely a trick to it. Once you get a feel for how it starts it becomes easier.

@@bryanlettow4389 I bet your right, i wasn't tall enough at the time to ride my dad's ...but i did start it a few times and you sure didn't want it to kick back... lol. My dad worked for AT&T but his friend owed the Kawasaki dealership, they were always doing something to get more power (like they didn't have enough, lol). To be fair i should say maybe they did because they did race motocross in the early '70's so maybe they did need more power. I can only imagine what kind of power the bikes of today would be capable of. Thanks for letting me share.

@@michaeleaster4047 My dad said the same thing about needing more power lol. He use to race it before me and went through it and changed the front sprocket and carburetor along with the brakes and a silencer. It was 2001 or so. Definitely regret selling but I needed the money.

There is a trick to starting the kx500, and the fact it requires a ton of fuel. If you had a decomp on the head it would't take more than 2 tries. Having a bucket handy will get you extra leverage to position it TDC and just WHAM on the kickstarter.

@Ximos Trilox that's how my YZ490 was minus having to lay it on its side. I would slowly push down on the kick start until i felt it get harder to depress. Then one good hard kick and it would come to life. Lol i never tried barefoot.

or the kx :P

Or a Ktm 550 hahahaha

@@luke9299 Maico 700 :P

or my rieju with broken crankshaft bearings

Or my frankesteim build with a chineze 110 four stroke

No shit. I used to kick start a 1200cc drag bike. Kawasaki of course.

In his defense, I would say he did the thing justice while actually riding it.

Should I not drive my Mustang drag car because I can't crank-start the engine by hand like a fawkin Model T? lmao

I had cr500 back in the day, I can tell there is a trick to it. If you didn’t kick it just right it kick back and bruise the crap out your foot, even through boots. I had a friend that was 6’4 300# and rode a lot and he couldn’t hardly start it. So I totally understand why the owner started it for him. Once you got it started it was either spinning the tire or doing a wheelie! Yes the suspension sucked even back then. Not for the faint of heart!

He never got it into the power band.

Ride behind this beast and its the closest thing to a sand storm in the Sahara

Rubber mounted motor and counter balance would be nice

Riding is my workout. 😁
