VIva Montesa from Spain .Nice bike, for me Cappra VB it is one of the most beautiful motoCross bikes. The plastic on those fenders aged fast.

And to add that montesa is a work of art. Certainly should be in a museum, just too rare.

Imaging being Kaplan...Has never 'Worked' a day in his life. Thats the beauty about the passion of what you do. What a great vid!!!!!!!!

Wow, I used to own 2 Capra VB 250 bikes, I have yet to ride anything like it. Very fast but the handling was just fantastic, it whipped a few newer water pumpers. These bikes cost $4800 each in 1978, just a superb bike. Thanks for showing it.

IN 1975 all my older Neighbors had Montesa 250 V75 MX,Bultaco Pursang, Ossa Phantom ,I had Cr 250 I was 14.Montesa owner always win @ his home track he was like 19 .

Preciosa Cappra está como nueva la VB fue la última 360 luego vino la VE.VF.VG Que engordaron de cilindrada .A 414 . Soy de España las he visto competir muchas veces y las e montado muy buenas bicicletas todavía corren en Clásicas.VIVA. MONTESA.👍👏🤪

Interesting to see Montesa is still alive and well......although actually owned by Honda...

Badass! Brings back memories of us crazies riding the most worn-out Montesa 250 Cappra, thinking a late '60's model, it took a long downhill and 2nd gear bump start(kick shaft broke off) to light that tired engine off but would always start easy when hot. It still hauled a$$ even with a worn engine, a friend bought it later on and did a complete overhaul on it and it was one sweet machine after that! That was circa 1973-76.

Pullin out all the stops today. Always wanted to ride one of them Capra's.

It actually purrs! Really. Over the years, I've heard people say that their vehicle purrs...but this one actually does. I've never heard a 2 stroke idle like that. It's awesome. The machine is beautiful.

I’ve never heard anything like that before. Ken Kaplan 2024 !!!

Its great for the museum 🤨 Its brand new,look at the seat WOW its ACE

I have this same bike at home in my garage, I bought it new in 1977 from Steve's Cycle Palace in Anchorage Alaska. I remember passing a very fast open expert rider up there on a straight away on his 465 Yamaha YZ to take the lead in the race, after the race he stopped by by place in the pits and said " That Monteeesa Hauls A$$ Don't it" It is still a pretty quick little bike! Viva Montesa!

Man I can imagine being 15 -18 years old and having One of them at the line back then

I'm sorry but that growl gives any 500 a run for their money when it comes to sound, absolute terror. Arriba!!

Brings back good memories. I had one just like it, I found it lightly used in Pasadena, TX around 1980. This big boy was a monster and a blast to ride. Sucker got stolen from my uncle's property and that was the end of it. It looks like this one is missing muffler which it really needs to help with the sound quality.

My favourite dirt bike love the sound of the 2 stroke

Doing wheelies with a gun holster is only possible in America.

Great looking bikes. Always loved the wrinkled fins on the cylinder and head.

Never knew much about montessa I did see ads. Sounds so good. Looks good.

tienes una joya Española👏👏👏👏👏👏🤔💪🇪🇦

Very nice and beautiful bike. I had a brand new 1974 Cappra 250. The gas tank was just like that one. Was fast and a lot of fun.

Brutal , la montesa española reina del Cross !

My brother had one 1978 VB360 great bike in the day!

Beautiful vintage MX bike, that definitely hauls ass, with an aggressive powerband. 😲....I've never heard of Montessa, before I started watching this channel.

As a kid growing up in the 60’s there were a Few Montesa 250’s that rode at the local Track. I agree they had styling and speed. I myself love the sound of an open Chamber, straight stinger💪. Noisy but pure, especially on big bores. Two strokes rule👍

Absolutely gorgeous

I had the 250 Cappra VB and I could embarrass my friend on his Husqy 360 Automatic. Of course my friend on his Maico 490 would destroy me in return after about 100 feet when he finally got enough traction! Anyway, the Cappras are all torque monsters and handled supremely well for their era.

I had a 1974 vr250 awesome reliable quality fast bike .

a 2 stroke with a lopy cam lol sounds great

My friend had a Bultaco. I always wanted either a Montesa or a CZ.

Gotta get Dylan to ride that one!

Iv owned 2 montessa bikes an enduro H6 360 and a MX 360 CAPPRA amazing bikes from the 70s i bought mine new from Lyall O'Brien in West Geelong i even passed my licence on the H6 360 enduro because it was registered and RWC

I have an all original 78 250vb. Widows husband owned a dealership and it never sold.

Love it!

300? That bike is rare. Id keep it in the museum..Looks great!

What! And now the 360 bet that hauls the farm!

Just like a YZ490, it seems like it will idle at 1 rpm all day long..

Rudy Marczi rode the isdt on that .! Wall of fame has his Pic on the wall.

it will run better if you put the carb top on the right way ... cable always to the front on bings ..

The best idling sound bike ever. 2:00

That's a nice bike !

I see my GPz 550 over there... my first street bike

I had the 250 brilliant

My dad had a flat track Montesa 250 big bore riden by Jeff Underwood.

ear splitting music from the "stinger" pipe

Every bike uncle presents is the best its money well spent

Oh man your making me cry 😢 bet that hauls the farm

Hey Ken do you reckon you good do a video on a DR650 please? I can't see that you have done one before. And it would be a great bike to see what upgrades you could do to it to make more power and better suspension for a great adventure bike. That would be awesome and to see what numbers you could do on your dyno. machine.

Yo tengo una cappra 250cc i un h6 360 una maravilla tiran un montón son mis favoritas.

😂🤣 @ the taser! I recently got tasered by two police here in Western Australia 🇦🇺 i had blood 🩸 poisoning from sepsis so i was doing weird shit so they took me out which is fair enough. That was the start of 1 month in hospital 🏥 and numerous operations to save my life. Anyways, thanks Kap. 😍👊🏼🙏🏼

Wow I always wanted to have one but never able to get one

My brother has a bozo stored Capras 360 and a 250 plus a cz 250 of same era

Soon as you started bike i heard just what you said cr 500 it sounds better then my 87 yz490 Way better then 360 mx or 185 with 250 carb on it with port work .

Viva!

2:15 I felt that nice gurgle she made at low idle with ya 🤤🤘🏽😂

That's bad ass!

You got to get a hold of an Ossa?

That bike is so sweet! And sounds bad to the bone

The top of the Bing carb is on backwards. Throttle cable should be forward, not to the rear. Cool bike though!

Wow 😲🙏❤️

I had an Ossa though

VIVA MONTESSA !!!

Back in the late 80s my neighbour picked 1 up for $100 not running ended up needing a new stator that was unobtainable so he got the old one rebuilt and rode it once his brother rode it once and sold it for $500 😂30 odd years later be worth $15k-$20k 🤷

i love it the dude open carries

Nice, 😍

Om 🎉grande saund la migliore 🎉😮

This is a beautifull fun and exiting dirt bike from spain it is a beauty the best of spanish another european class vintage this is what so exiting about motocross cheers thankyou for sharing this fun vintage bike

Hi kaplan

i knew a kid growing up that had a montesa, felt bad for him ,every time he rode it something broke and he would have to wait months for parts.never did get to ride with him.

I love this crinkley engine design it is a style of its own and the sound is one of the best music it sings beauty of motocross the smell and looks are great they are famous just like the bultaco both are the best of spanish the style is magnificent and money well spent

Ωραίο βίντεο

THE LAST MINT ORIGINAL MONTESA 360 VB BIG BORE 2 STROKE -as far as you know

needs some adjusting. bit lean in low revs.

Va un poco corta de combustible o una toma de aire o olgura en la campana del carburador

Selling mine was my biggest mistake of all my 15 motorcycles through the years

😎

Look @ that

that bike is a Rippa!

That's my namesake.

Sad to say no one should ride it except around the grass !

Want

🤤

What year is it ?

handgun, knife, brass knuckles, check.....

How much do these sell for

Cosas de los americanos....donde va el Robo este con machete y pistola....?? Según ellos se sentirá amenazado....Terrible.!! Así pasa allí lo que pasa. La Montesa fantástica. Española. Falla de carburación.

Gun . Tazer . ?

📣OH No he's heading for the grass Not to be washed

Hey wait a minute I'm an average Bozo that has a basement garage, but I kind of like it. And I have a few older bikes in it as well. Climate-controlled I have a dehumidifier and the boilers down there as well.👌

Wtf. Chain and sprocket is on the wrong side.

Can you give this to me thanks I'll appreciate it !

Thumb down for the Gun

Say what ya want about Franco, but.......

You did not drive this motorcycle, you did not even start it..... SHAME ON YOU!
