#Honda CR500 #1987 Honda CR500
THE HOLY GRAIL OF MOTOCROSS AND THE CR500 MODELS BUT HOW RARE HAS THE HONDA CR500r 1987 HAS BECOME?? FIND OUT..
BIG BORE UK RE-SELLER LINK:
widowmakers...
So another worthwhile project hits the screen. No less the beast, a 'Man bike', Cancelled in the name of safety, What ever you want to call it. This is the last un-restricted crazy idea from Honda to produce a bike you simply can't use to it's full potential. Dull 4 stroke restricted racing still sees the CR500 2 stroke competing and winning in many unrestricted races after 30+ years of so-called- development. I want one. I want it in a glass case just to know I have something that belongs to another age.
Lets see if it is up to the hype..

I am seriously impressed. I’ve owned lot of bikes and done tons of work to them but nothing like this! It warmed my heart watching the original labels being applied, as if this neglected motorcycle was being reborn into the beautiful motorcycle it once was and still deserves to be. As a motorcycle enthusiast, thank you for sharing your incredible work with us, and for preserving such an iconic machine. Cheers from Michigan USA!

To say I am speechless is an understatement. You sir are nothing short of a master restorer. I always wonder how much work people like you had to do on bikes to garner such skills. I just received my 1981 Honda CR 250R in the USA my father bought for me in South Africa as a schoolboy in 1982. It has sat inside our farmhouse since I left South Africa in 1988. It is 100% original and after draining oil , coolant and cleaning carb and putting a new plug and filter it kicked over on the second kick having sat unridden for over 30 years . There is nothing like those old bikes . Thank you for taking us along on the journey . I bet the first ride was exhilarating like only a 500 can give you . 👌👌

An astounding restoration. It’s been a pleasure watching it all come together. Extremely gratifying I’m sure but totally understandable why you’d never want to do it again.

Finally someone with my attention to detail! I done a yz125 1989. After I finished i just couldn’t ride it. Paid 300 for it! 2years getting parts all around the world for it. Then 1 year building it in spare time. Then sold it 4500. I also got the safety stickers made. Well done be proud of it! I brought a brand new tc125 and now rag hell out of it and dont care about the bike. They guy who brought mine said he wanted it for his man cave and its never to be ridden! So somewhere in england there is a yz125 1989 that completely restored back to original show room condition sitting in a man cave resting! I loved that bike but loved it so much I couldn’t ride it! I said il never restore another bike. Ive probably dont at least 5 different bikes after that but customers bikes not my personal bikes

Finally!!! A PROPER restoration, not just people with excess cash throwing big money with bags of NOS parts at a project. Taking the time to find, repair, restore and revive old, existing parts, creating the unobtainium bits from scratch and fabricating a piece of history for the rest of us to behold. Congratulations on such a job well done.

Thanks for an amazing restoration video, it brought back many fond memories watching you restore it as I brought my CR500 RH brand new in Australia for $4,600.00 and rebuilt it from frame up 3x times! over the many years of ownership I even drag raced it and it did the Quarter in 13.2 seconds stock!! it was an Animal to ride and anyone who was behind on the track's used to keep there head down if they seen me twist on the throttle!!

Ah, the widowmaker. Absolutely beautiful work in bringing her back to life. Red Bull team member, Aaron Colton, rightly said of the CR500, "Honda produced the bike to humble anyone who thought they were tough." What a terrifying machine!

Watching that build take shape was like watching a child grow. Every part no more or less important than the next. Takes a brave soul to even attempt a build of this caliber and to execute it so so cleanly is, well…fucking admirable.

Upgraded to a 87 CR-500 from my older 83CR480 race bike . Thought that if the 87 had the same slim ergonomic fit that the 480 had along with a OHLINS rear shock on it It would've a much better bike. Great restoration job 👍

What a great restoration! I did something similar with a SWM 125 but not nearly as well as you, and I had way more help. A lot of setbacks and I think I made a loss of at least € 3,000 (if I were to sell the bike, which I will not). But I got at least € 10,000 back in fun, experience and meeting good people! Wish I could have made a great video like yours. Congratulations on a great job.
