Nothing like a 2 stroke!! Looks like the CR500 is fishing for some four strokes.....reeling them in.

Thank you for sharing. Love the 450s but a good old school 2 strokes is still mesmerizing. Fantastic job !!!!! 👍👍👍

Whoa, i must have been under a rock Neville, ive been watching you on Max's channel so much Over and over. Never even realised you had yr own channel! Sorry for being a such a donkey. Ace ride! Some of those lads were really trying their best to snatch your lines, There's always a way around on a CR, you always find em. Apologies for not finding your channel sooner. You keep my small glories alive from 30 yrs ago kid! Much respect mate.

That distinctive sound of the CR. I had a CR-250, One of my friends had a CR500..It was a beast of an Open machine.

Awesome , no mean feat, the CR500’s a handful unless your 100% on it 💪🏻😎

Great job, Nev!! You watched, you waited till you found your lines (groove) and reeled them in till it was all over but the crying! They never knew what hit em!! Your riding was smooth and calculated!! Go, team Bradshaw!!!

Excellent Ride. Really loved the power forward through the pack.

You can clearly see that a 2 stroke with the right rider can be very competitive with the new bikes

Been riding CR500'S for 35 years .. I have a 97 CR500 in my garage right now.. just never been able to get on another bike.. Anyways that was really fun watching you ride, brought back a lot of memories..Ride red forever take care of yourself 👍👍

Loved the race. After you got use to the new bike you made up time real fast. Take care. Vaughn

Thanks for an awesome video. I have had both 2 and 4 strokes, but the smell, the sound of the 2 strokes is just hard to beat.

You did a great job of recon-ing the course. I noticed your lines thru the corners hardly ever changed. Respect!

Hello Nev, can't wait to see you blast that Maico 700cc MEGLADON. 🙏🇬🇧👍

Loved it, what a great way to start my Easter morning on board with you in this race, Amen! Nice work being consistent and picking them off one by one... I was waiting for you to pick off Greedy since he pinched you off on purpose early in the race, lol. When you pass them on the CR500 it morally deflates them especially after they've gotten a little tired! I just rode a 89 CR 500 at the Desert 100, pure Magic.

This was a gem! Beautiful bike.... Beautiful riding.... Cheers, Doug

That was really fun. You and #33 came together at the start and he got the best of it, then he spent the entire race just a bike or three ahead of you. Total hound/rabbit scenario and I found myself looking for him in the distance as the gap widened until he couldn't be seen. Then he comes back into view and you slowly reel him in while you're both navigating back markers. You could tell he felt the push from behind because he finally broke and let you by without putting up a defense. Great riding and so much fun to watch!

When they could hear it coming, they were skeerd.

Nothing but respect for anyone who has the skill and fitness to ride this machine like this.

Two strokes never die. CR 500 is a beast.

I raced 500s in the 90s. Love to watch you ride! I smoked 450s all day!😁😁

I love how it didn't look like you were pushing to make risky moves at the holeshot. Waited for it to thin out and then it was hunting time!!! Good shit dude!

Loved it!! Better than watching TV.

Awesome... Hard to beat good ole Old School 2 Stroke power !! Great ride Bro !!

Bloody awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!

As the laps went on i could hear the throttle smooth out and you really hammered down...nice ride!

Raced a 84 CR 500 when I was 16. My buddy and I got them for having good grades our sophomore year. The most fun I ever had. Still have dreams of riding and racing that big bore!

Simply a joy to watch💪💪

Nice job feller. 2 strokes forever. Love my CR5. You lapped many, yeah baby.

I had the 1984 cr500,the widow maker. port polished etc. Insane bike,really really miss that bike.

i dont know why this was recommended, nor do i care a bit about motorcycle racing. having said that, this was a really fun thing to watch! congratulations on your win! :)

Awesome. Love the 500

It was like as soon as he passed them, the CR500 roost served as 4stroke repellent

Kev ur a f*&king legend!!! From Charlie & Luke in Aussieland!! Go the 500 man!!!!!!

I liked your patience, developing good lines and braking points and then letting her rip. Much faster in the later portion of the moto. Seemed like the bike was never really working hard while the fartelaters ran scared. Nice race.

What a great ride, and a fun track. No 50 foot jumps, just some wicked whoops, and tight twisty turns.

My hands are all sweaty watching this! Good video!

Man, I was gettin into that ride! Great job. You took a little while to get tuned in, but started using that torque to reel em in.. Awesome riding! 2 things I noticed and maybe its because your bike runs different than my '86 did. One was you lost time following in the guy ahead's same line. Just have to focus on using a different line than the guy ahead, even if slower (can't pass if following and the other guy bobbles it -Brad Lackey). My automatic shifting part of the brain was wanting to go up another gear than you were in sometimes and use the torque via hammering the clutch to keep her in the sweet spot. There's no other bike I know of that you can consistently be a gear higher than the rest of the pack, and hammer the clutch for max power/RPM's. Mine had copper plates in the clutch to dissipate heat. But you started doing that later in the ride, and you were on the next guy in no time.. Just trying to be helpful, not back seat quarterback. You covered a lot of terrain very quickly. You didn't let the small stuff ruin the big picture. You were looking way ahead towards the end, and getting there fast. Great job! Makes me wish the ol' bod could still handle that beating.. Some of my best memories were Fri night mx at Ascot. I rode the last days the track was open. CR500 or XR600. Dam that 600 ran. Was built, had white power shock with fork kit, one of Al Baker's prototype cams fresh out of a bike he won b to v with. Love the unlimited class. So, different line than the guy ahead, and give the bike a tall gear to cover lots of ground fast. And, MORE VIDS PLS!! 👍🏽👍🏽

Long live the two stroke. Great race my man 👍

Skilled riding, beast of a bike!

Awesome. The 500 is legendary!

Awesome ride!!!good choice of machine nothing like a 2 stroke!!!

Loved it !Great ride!

WOW- I was glued to that footage

Arms and Balls of Steel

Legend!

Who does Neville's Head and Cinder porting? Who does he use? Is it in the States, Canada or local to him????

Awesome. Totally awesome! Great pov, love the sound of that 500👍💯🎉🤟🍻 What them boys say to ya after that whoopin!!???

Amazing flowing lines

Picking them off like Flys and love the way you ride that CR500 Like its a 125 WOW! Got a good lol when you would pull up on them and they could hear you and that is when they lose their power, SEE YA

Nice riding on that monster. I can't even keep my buddy's CR250 in a straight line when I hit the gas. Can't imagine a 500.

Nevs learnt to ride from Taxis drivers back in the day when traffic was back stopped came through on the emgency lane throwing black labels out the window while overtaking. Well done very well rounded and super person fit with the skill to match remembered you as such a calculated rider too.

Brilliant 😉👍🇬🇧♥️

Hell yea! You can definitely ride my friend!!

Grip strength and stamina. Hella dudes faded. Love the sound but I don't miss kick starting those beasts.

Great ride brother

Amazing how Robbie Knievel made starting a CR 500 look so easy.

pure power

Excellent Charge !

Ring a ding ding two smoke is 🤴

You rode the wheels off it ! Fair play !!

Great ride, great track, wish that was me

Reminds me of Riding in the dense comfort zone on my Cr 250 where fatigue becomes your friend not worried

wow that thing goes forward holy shit but also good rider

Nice pass on Greedy and the rest, you are the 2 stroke dominator of the world nev!

Nice ride, i miss mine👍

Are you starting in 2nd gear? Try some 3rd gear starts if you're not, CR500's can pull them no problem.

not afraid of the ruts... use them like a train track. good run

Give that CR500 the same suspension and see what happens. In the 80's Kawasaki made a 3 cylinder 750 two stroke street bike and it was so fast they band it.

Less parts on a two stroke more torque also!3 gear starts !

I think I saw a bunch of excellent late braking, there, too.

Wow..awesome riders

The beast!

Yeah some of it was the bike, but mostly it was the skill and iron man endurance! Some of the riders at the end you could almost hear them say, "F@@K THIS" and pull over, they had nothing on you. Can't wait to bust out my 1984 CR 500 for some trail riding. Thanks for the video!

I thought that the 2 strokes were banned from racing , only four strokes now , guess I was wrong . unless only certain races allow them ?

Gee, that bike is quick.

The 500 will dominate that feild I don’t need to watch

Riding a CR500 is so much fun you just put it in third gear and go

Ok Japanese motocross brands ! Here is the perfect reason you guys should still be building 2 strokes !

Nice riding....

The real Red Rooster all others need not apply!!!

That 500 stomps the 450 four strokes and I have one of the best 450s on the planet I don’t want to go against it.

damn son! Running them boys down!

That track is designed for 4 strokes, not 2 strokes. Hard to stay on the pipe.

Wide open thru the straights but coasts thru turns and over jumps. Which is exactly how you ride a 500.

This was awesome! Now do it on a 1984 YZ490 lol

That is a proper and beautiful motocross track. Where is it?

Ok So the CR500 overshoots the turns so handling is bad. I know it’s heavier but braking is so important on this bike and the suspension needed to be softer. They need to build it to where the computer recognizes a turn a tunes the engine down to be more manageable in turns and then it goes back to normal on the straights

Dayuum! Thats a bad ass track! What class was that?

🇦🇺😎👍Good stuff

CR 500 Start In 3rd Gear No Problem ! I Raced 2 Strokes All Through The Late 70s And 80s ! They Need To Bring Them BACK ! 2 Strokes Allow Riders From Average Income Families To Enter In The Pleasures Of RACING ! WAY Easier And Cheaper To Work On, Not That You Will Be Working On It Too Much Because They Last Forever ! I Used To Rebuild My Own Bike As Needed, Mostly TOP END Only And It Was AFFORDABLE ! 4 Strokes Although Theyve MUCH IMPROVED Over The Years Are Just Way Too Expensive To Keep Running And Far Too Sophisticated For The Average Joe To Work On, And You Better Have A TON Of Money ! Long Live The 2Stroke !

My hands went numb watching this

When you hear the ping and see the smoke You've just been past by a fast 2 stroke

Hmmmmm ...did they have any practice? Ridiculousmm line choices

Was this at Long Lane??

That 500 is all about RPM's .

You should add a 34 mill carb that thing would be screaming

I'd take a 2 smoke 🚬 over a thumper any time🤙🇺🇲

I can remember my IT 490 doing this on pony express races. But 4 strokes have come a long way. The old 500cc thumpers wouldn’t stand a chance against us.

What class is this?

There's no way, he revved-- that 500cc up-- at the gate. Bone stock - is very bad. Plus, it sounds lik -- a 250cc. Definitely not California -- ught dirt.
