This is Dave Thorpe's 1986 500cc Motocross World Championship winning Honda RC500, and it's in a pristine condition. So we thought it was only right that we reunite the legendary bike with it's legendary rider! The new owners took the factory big bore down to the Thorpe workshop so he could verify the legitimacy of what has just become the most expensive dirt bike in the world, and Max and Dave reminisce on his time riding one of the most famous 2 strokes in MX history. Mr. VMXdN Dave King is also on hand to give us a tour around the bike and we might have another surprise or two in store as well... Enjoy guys, this was a very special video for us to make! :-)

I remember reading basically every dirt bike/motoX magazine I could find every month. I only knew of Dave Thorpe through those means. I live here in the U.S. Not much European coverage in those days. Dave Thorpe and other were extremely fortunate to live in a legendary time, with legendary men, riding legendary machines. Kudos Max a truly remarkable video.

So wonderful to see some of these bikes have survived. I've had a fascination with HRC works bikes since 1993 when a magazine (I think it was Motocross Action) did a test of the then-new production CR250 against a 1983 works bike and the basic conclusion was that the '83 was every bit as good as the '93. The idea that ten years of development on the production bike hadn't eclipsed the works bike was just wild to me.

I was seventeen years old ,when I was lucky enough to watch DT crash at the start of the GP at Farley Castle in 1986 and make his way from last place to win that race. What a legend. I drooled over this bike as a teenager and loved to see what the HRC factory team guys could come up with, to give the team an edge, over the competition. If I remember correctly the bike was tuned to behave more like a four stroke with much wider power band than most two strokes and this is how DT was able to ride this bike with only 4 gears, which resulted in less gear changes producing faster lap times. This was enabled by the wizardry of the HRC factory engineers. I would love to know more about how the bikes were reunited with their internal components. I ecpect there were many versions of those parts, due to the rapid development done by the HRC guys. Its also interesting how this bike helped to show how 4 strokes engine characteristics had some advantages over their 2 stroke cousins and how they dominate the series now. Sad to see the demise of the 2 stokes though.

Oh man...if I dig into my old photos, I took pictures of his bike at the 1986 USGP at Carlsbad. I also took shots of CR500 that Ricky Johnson rode that day. Afterwards ,I spent hours comparing the two bikes. I always thought that the front fender brace on Dave's bike was cool. I also remember Johnson's bike having the first inverted fork that I had ever seen. Dave was a great rider. A true champion, for sure.

I had an 83 Suzuki RM 500.. 4 speed, but oh my the power just put a grin across your face. Then in 92 I brought the CR500 86 model.. My shoulders still feel pulled out there sockets 😂… Absolutely mental machine. I never raced either, but I had some amazing experiences on both bikes. Really wish I’d of kept them now… Thx for sharing this great video Max.. ✌🏼

Have you guys filmed the Graham Noyce world championship CR500. I met a bloke a few months ago that has it sat in his workshop. Unreal bike well worth a look.

I'm amazed that it still exists. Many of the true "works" bikes were destroyed at the end of each season.

Yes he needs to ride this bike. Only down side would it getting messed up but it’s worth it. While he’s still breathing it just adds another story to add to it

Mx was on grandstand back then especially a world hawkstone race, Thorpe is an absolute legend and those bikes were beautiful 👌 ( ps I remember Eric had a decompression lever on the handlebars to help start it in later years )
