I want them to ride a 1992 WR500. Holy Moly that thing was BUZZZZZERRRR Bike. And air-cooled.

Andrew Marshall. Rite! LOL

....40 years later RJ happens to mention the HRC bikes had balanced cranks with no vibration lol

😂😂😂😂absolutely

I think that was the first time he had arm pump XD

Yeah the blurred vision coming into corners is the killer.

Agreed.👍

I reckon Hunter displayed what is lurking. Quietly. Hunter is hard coer.

That power band hits different I ride 2000 kx250 and that power and scares the shit outta me sometimes

Agree on that. There is nothing like the sound of a big bore 2stroke starting gate drop. Even the 250s are amazing to hear. Not Hart ng on the new 4strokes but when it comes to sound the 2strokes can't be beat.

Its all about the hit my friend

450s are powerful but it's soo much more use able than a 500 2 stroke they generally feel like they are trying to kill you when you ride one 🤣

@@nathancrittenden8525 perfect description of the different power delivery between the two. 4 strokes roll into the power smoother and is more predictable/ controllable 2stroke big boar hits like a hurricane and is harder to controll.

I became a Hunter Lawrence fan after southwick.

He definitely looked uncomfortable on it

Yeah loved Dave on that 85/86 full works c.r 500s

And dave Thorpe was so smooth

I just think these two guys are enjoying every minute of there time racing and living in the U.S.

He is amazing 💯

He'd make an ag100 look fast. Shreds anything that lad

My thoughts exactly !

I was waiting for the shred. Shit I can do THAT.

Like how Jett admits hes alittle afraid of it haha. Most people have that reaction xD

everyone go lookup 500 cc's of glory if you want to see a dude actually shred and race a 500.

You need Jeremy McGrath to do that bike justice, if you are going to have a rider shreds on a CR500. He was not even getting into powerband.

I had similar setup. a 250 and 490 Sand Spider. The 490 was a awesome motor.

I just sold my '20 CRF450, less torque than my 500 and not that enjoyable. The 450 was a struggle to lift the front wheel in top gear, the CR5 does it on the sandy sections. Front end stability was the best improvement over the old girl, but I have ohlins front and rear, a pulse induction kit and e.start on the 500 now so no need for a modern bike as I get older and struggle to kick it!!

Hard to beat a CR500 for pull your arms out of your shoulder sockets fun. If my mind serves me correctly I think the '83-84 were supposed to be the best years for the Honda CR500.

Hell yes, Brother!!

Sounds like BILLY LILES BEFORE HE WENT FULL BLOWN PRO. WOULD RACE BIG MONEY RACES AROUND THE SOUTHEAST ON HIS KX TEAM. RACE ALL 3 CLASSES, 125, 250, AND 500. 20 MINUTES PLUS 2 AND THERE WERE MANY TIMES HE WENT HOME AFTER WINNING EVERY RACE. I NO. I RACED 125 AND WE HAD GREAT BATTLES ALOT OF TIMES, BUT I COULD NEVER BEAT HIM STRAIGHT UP. I ALWAYS GOT ALOT OF HOLESHOTS BUT HE WOULD BE THE ONE TO HOUND ME AND GET AROUND ME 97 PERCENT OF THE TIME. I WOULD GO AS HARD AS I COULD TRYING TO STAY WITH HIM BUT HE ALWAYS GOT LIKE 3 TO 5 SECONDS AHEAD AND THEN WOULD JUST STAY THERE UNTIL THE RACE WAS OVER.

Fully agree

Unfortunately, it won't be the KX500. It will be a YZ490 air hammer...😎

@@jonjackson6245 him on the kx would have been awesome. At least we got McGrath on the kx.

Yessss

Hes the best modern rider to watch on a 2 stroke. Hed go awesome on a kx 5

Yeah, i was like "OMG!". Haven't seen him for long time. Him, Jeff Ward, David Baily, Ron Lechien, Broc Glover, Micky Diamond and Guy Cooper, my favorite Ricky "Bad Boy" Johnson. Those were the days. I've never forgotten the 500 national at Washugal back in the day in the PNW. Miss my 88&92 CR250R.

IKR?

Wasn't his 1980 USGP win at Mid-Ohio on a twin shocked white Mugen??

@@awalker8112 All I remember is I had Mugen boot gators over my Red/Blue Scott boots, great era.

@@racerxyz8833 I remember him pulling into the Indian Dunes pits on that Mugen. He had 2 seconds on everyone right then. It was bad ass for sure.

Young Jett knows some shit.

And he actually did ride dual shocks. I remember drooling over the Mugen Honda Johnny O rode before going to Factory Honda. Him, Hannah, Glover, Johnson, Wardy, Decoster etc etc were my childhood heroes and all over my bedroom walls

O Show was on the 1981 motocross de nation's when they rode 250 and the next weekend 500 against the world's fastest

He should be,that dog will bite ya

If jett had a week on that he would be absolutely flying. Hunter gelled with it a bit quicker. Over revving a 500 slows you down

Yeah a slighty different ball game to a 250 2 stroke isnt it??

damn u just called me a no one

@@jenkyelbows Not at all, was a general term. meant that kids will grow up and no nothing but electric start and have never almost broke there foot kicking over a 500..When that kicker comes backup it hurts..

He had to tell him at the beginning.

I can drive standard all day long

@@obro8709 haha i think dylan was saying that he drives stick. But they for sure. I don't get manufacturers phasing out kickstarts. When you run out of battery the bike just becomes a useless brick

Yeah definitely

...Maico 490 and KX500... Way "back in the day"...

3 x 45min motos! They where proper warriors I don't know how they did it

@@nathancrittenden8525 they were just fighting to stop on the bike

Grit, determination, and training.

Good-looking bike too with the yellow plates.

Nothing wrong with being scared of a 500, only a foolish man didn't fear and respect the 500.

😂😂😂😂

Now put them on an old Maico 501 that has had engine mods.🤪

Hunter is all about it! Be fun to see him at world 2 stroke in 5-7 yrs Jett…yes oddly he did look a little goony 😂

Magoo was on a class of his own in his prime.... so sad how he ended...

YUP thats the one I rode, no need to get past 1/4 throttle! Just hold it at 1/4 throttle, pick your gear and pull in the clutch when you needed to slow down! The powerband was just above idle! LOL

@@JeffJackson86 that's the one... either wheel spin or stamd... I might be bias but the dark orange, blue seat and gold rims makes it the best coloured model as well.

I've also got an 86. The newer cr500s were way more tame. If that kid wants to crap his pants, he should ride one with modern suspension and the 86 or 87 motor in it.

My friend had a perfect condition last year cr500 (2001). When I rode it I swear I felt like I was on a cr250 power band wise with a little more torque than a cr250. It was not even close to the same hit as my 86 cr500.

Johnny O' also raced the 1986 500 nationals. That was the fist year the premiere class was split between 250 and 500 classes. He won the first moto of the series at Red Bud.

O show also rode the 500 at the USGP carlsbad around 83 or 84? I believe he finished in the top five...

Or beating 500 world champ Dave Thorpe on a 125 at MXON....

Awesome!! LOL

Who cares,they don"t care about you lol....
