Ken I love your never ending positivity and enthusiasm. Living the dream!!!! Enjoy your Florida adventures because we all are enjoying watching it.

Hi from UK. As an old motocross boy from 75 - 82, this was great to see. I can completely agree with you on the smell & sound of two stroke. Still to do this day there is nothing makes me smile more than a two stroke "on song" moto x bike that is in fine form.

Much respect to you and your crew, Ken, for 'rescuing' many of these great classic vintage bikes! You deserve a million subscribers!

Awesome! Even though I'm 40 years old and the bikes of the 90s are what brings back memories of my youth I still have mad respect and appreciation for bikes as far back as the 70s. It's cool to see the technology and designs progress through time! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

I'd love to see the before and after pics of some of these bikes when they get restored...Great video and commentary my friends. 🇺🇸👍😊

This is my dad's house! Glad these bikes made it to Kaplan's hands.

That is great you guys can bring these bikes back to life.

Loving all the elsinores coming out of that trailor ❤

I absolutely loved every minute of this! What a great find! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! I look forward to tracking down and purchasing my first real motocross bike, a 1980 CR250. Seeing this gives me hope.

Good things come to good people nice job you guys. Big respect to the late former owner to all those beauties, thanks for saving such mx history.

The good ole days, old Yamaha 80s I've seen on here. Had a early 175 2 stroke, then a 79 zy250. cagiva 125. buddy rode an ole TT thumper. Then once the honda 110 big red came out, it was a Takate 250 2 wheeler, we all switched from 3 to 4 wheels with tekate 250, quad racer, Tried the 4 stroke game, but it gets real expensive real fast.

Big man, you're like a walking Honda workshop manual. You and jeffs knowledge is impressive.👍🙏

Holy grail find. Can't wait to see the build videos 🤘

Reminds me of the day 45years ago Jimmy Ellis came to town [Millville, N.J.} He ran the 250 expert class and gave the whole pack a 3/4 lap head start & won by a longshot. Word was he was training coming off a broken leg injury. He made everyone look like they were standing still.

Man awesome find always good to find old Hondas that's all I mess with

All gems, and the spare parts are now priceless, great find.👍

Being there would be a dream man, I love finding these old Gems

Wow...bet he was an interesting guy. He is definitely smiling from heaven knowing team Kaplan is taking care of his prized possessions. Cant wait to see the xr75s brought to life. Thank you and God bless America sir.

Wheelsmith Maico brings back memories! Morris Malone used to fly on those bikes back in the 70s. Gaylon Mosier rode for them, awesome rider! We had many great riders from So Cal back then.

Brings me back to school days!waiting to get out of school to ride!

The 70's are my greatest memories of the two strokes love THEM all

Lol. I'd absolutely love to dig through that trailer. As a kid I owned many of those bikes. Memory lane.

Great find. Worth all that hard work.I enjoyed the video.thanks better than watching tv.

You guys take me back....good feeling , thank you

I love these old CR’s I spent all my money and borrowed some to buy my son a CR80 big wheel it was the shop owners sons used for racing for one season he was so excited to ride it the first weekend the following weekend it was gone we had it for One and a half weeks and someone stole it with a year left to pay we only got one good picture of him on it in all his motocross clothes, it would have been perfect for my youngest son now.

My first scrambler a Honda CR 250m green and silver 74 model it was a Canadian model with the aluminium tank and those hotdog mufflers brings back some amazing memories just can't wait to get on the road again

Man what a good mine of old Honda's. Love to see the old 2 strokes. When I was 14 I had a Yamaha 1978 DT175. It was a street legal YZ. My best friend had the 125. We tore up NW Arkansas as teens riding around and even out ran the police a few times. 😆 ✌

Thanks for sharing.Awesome Find.The XR75 brings back childhood memories of a crazy kid in our neighborhood who had a 1980 XR75.He was going over jumps with no shoes, socks or shirt on.We had a 1978 YZ80. and of course i was biased towards the YZs over the XRs.Great childhood memories.

Love see some these when done ✅

Your spot on just by getting a frame tank wheel's and a seat can give you memories of your father or family giving you something like these bike's pushing them up a hill and sitting on them pretending your the king or queen of the neighbourhood whilst others were building Billy carts keep on keeping on mate cheers from Australia 🦘🌏

Man this channel just takes me back to the day keep up the good work you guys are amazing you and your crew God bless you all stay strong warriors.

C’mon!! You guys are killing it! This freaking never happens to me. Unfortunately Honda did not manufacture a ‘77 cr250. After the ‘76 they went back to the drawing board and and came out with the ‘78 cr250. Good stuff boys!

wow you found the honey hole of bikes, heaven wow

Back in the year that Can-Am with the collapse front forks see if it's got air valves on top of the fork caps... Back at that time we were doing that to a lot of motocross bikes take the springs out drill and tap the four caps for air valves and Ride on Air took about 45 lb of air in each leg as the front fork seals would hold it and I never had a problem doing it on a 1976 1st red frame CR250R Honda Elsinore and trade one in with air still in the front forks and no springs and nobody asked so I wonder how long that lasted hehehe hehehe

Such a great pick! Thanks for sharing. My first bike after my 1981 pw50 was a 1979 can am qualifier. They are great bikes!

It makes me feel alot better about my bike hoarding, somebody has to save these gems. Thanks guys.

Glad you said “bomb bar dee eh” correctly and not “bomb ba deer” 🇨🇦

Great find. I know the excitement when you find something like this. I've saved this video to my motorcycle collection.

Nice find so glad you’re saving them ken

Just like the rooms of sobriety say, don't give up until the miracle happens. Sadly, many do and don't make it, because very few people these days, are willing to put in hard work to better themselves. For the lucky, hardworking people like myself, the end result in life, is so much better and worth it. According to my doctor's and nurses, I shouldn't be alive, because of so many years of Cocaine use, but I Thank God and Jesus Christ, that they gave me a second shot at redemption! Great video Ken Sr and Jr. I just worry about Y'all alot, riding bikes on the street, without helmets. Y'all's safety is always in my daily and nightly prayers though. Much love and respect from Louisiana (Sportsman's Paradise).

Most likely forks off a CR125 on that Jeff Ward XR75! Definitely period correct!

Amazing Ken what a haul of vintage bikes & parts lovely to see them get a second life or use..👍🏻

Dude u you have some of the nicest bikes I've ever seen and it one of the coolest channels

Ken can close his eyes and smell and tell you what the part belongs to . This guys amazing passion for bikes. I like the side arm. Wise man to bear arms

Aladdin’s cave , cracking find 👍 wish I could find something like that in the uk 🇬🇧

Amazing find. I'm sure your team can make the most of it. I look forward to the rebuilds.

Thanks for sharing all of this motocross treasure with us.

What a dream it would be to get all these bikes.

Great find, glad to see all these bike saved in one way or another...even if it's not a full resto hopefully parts can salvaged....hey save as many as possible. You need yourself a professional driver, you guys can focus on taking care of business in comfort, while gathering up the miles....🤔

I'd love to go picking with you just rooting around other people's properties 😉👍

thanks for bringing us along. .... i live on the cape. hoping to ride down and check out the museum soon!

Sweet. That green looking airtank in the junk pile is an oxygen bottle for WW2 B52 bomber!! Love ❤ those old Hondas

That's a great find wow lots of good bikes to bring back to life awesome!

2:42 '77 Honda XR 75. My dream bike back in the day when I was 12.

Your videos always turn back the clock about 40 yrs for me. Alot of us grew up on a big red machine!l For me, it was a '74 MR50 Elsinore. I still need to come by your shop next time I'm in the area - if you don't mind me drooling on your shop floor!

I would definitely love to be there great barn find

Hey that can am probably had air forks. I remember they would run them without springs . Ther was alot of experimenting and innovation back then. Love the maico front forks gave it away.

No reason to be constipated after that run love see the big wheel cr 125 fix love e your excitement Ken

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AND ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SET OF GRAPHICS FOR ANOTHER CR 500

In 1980 I took a CR250 motocross bike and built a 250 dirt track bike with the Knight frame. I also had a Can-Am 250 dirt track bike

The little three-wheeler is a Honda gyro

Ken your a legend m8 love your videos. All the best from matt from South Wales UK 🇬🇧 👍 RESPECT

Cool video, so much old bikes. , great

Wow great video and all these cr125 and 250 and other thay have to be restored some of them I had the cr80 and cr 125 1980 red rockets when I was a kid

Umm i dont think Hyosung or(high-o-sung) ever did a bike like that .. as i had feel in love with their Aquila 250 and had done some research on the company and i didnt see any reference to a bike like that .But i hope your team does they're magic on it regardless of who made it as its realy cool .

Much respect to you guys, your love of motorcycles is only to apparent keeping these old strokers going is an important part of history, 2 strokes are rapidly becoming outlawed worldwide and it's sad youngsters will never feel the thrill of a wild powerband and to see those glorious Red Rockets with the fire engine was oh such a pleasure. Good luck guys n hope you get em all alive and kicking to see another day ... Too work. 😃😍😃👍

I would like to find such hideouts as well!

You are truly impressive Ken with your knowledge. Love your channel!!!

The lord's work 🔥🔥💲💲🏍️🏍️🏍️

Meat loaf passed away today, I associated that great album Bat out of Hell to bike riding and road tripping back in the 80s RIP Meat :(

That would be a dream to come across

Really miss the time my family and me spent in Sarasota County, Florida. My first ride on a "big bike" was in July 2000 and was 17 years old, had a blast on my buddy's Kawasaki GT550, lets just say I didn't come straight back, time just vanished and was happily cruising around Shamrock Boulevard in Venice for about an hour before suddenly seeing the Sheriff and thinking maybe I've pushed my luck too far on this baby with no credentials (being that I was on vacation with no licence yet too!), I took off a little too hot into a bend and was such a rookie that I felt was going too fast to make it round, when leaning over I thought there would be no grip, stupidly, so I just pulled her up straight and slapped on the anchors, only just stopped before going into the guardrail! So yes, was scared to bank her all the way over and almost ruined my friend's bike but alas escaped the situation. I do remember my calf sizzling on the exhaust pipe too, that was a bummer. Cheerio guys.

That can am at 11:38 has 2 cylinders?

I love watching sh*t like this. Thank ya Mr. Kaplan!!

Is there a way to donate parts to the New England Motorcycle museum? Lets say someone has a box of stuff from a bike and wants to get rid of them. You could also just have lists for potential donations when parts are needed. People send in high res pictures of parts and sit on them. You keep a database and when needed ask for the donation.

Put the Chinese harley in the dump trailer

I did the same thing about 10 years ago when my wife's family Honda business closed after her parents died I had about 70 motorcycles and four garages full of parts

your deffetnetly the man kaplan :) keep makin these vids love seeing the bikes you get or got

One person's junk is another man's treasure...

Wow that's a lot of hondas there and very rare motorcycle parts, love the fact you know your stuff, identifying stripped bits, love to see what can be rebuilt. Great find.

First of all, bunch of great bikes there!! And 2nd do you guys make and sale graphics for vintage bikes?

This video was both unbelievably interesting and mildly depressing, as this stuff represents my entire young life, but also how I’m not a spring chicken anymore. 😱 I can’t remember watching anything that was so utterly nostalgic as this one. Just awesome!!! I’m only getting younger right? There was literally not one thing in this find that I had not run across in my youth! 👍😎🇺🇸

Def. Have soft spot for the old can am.got my B card in netra on a 250 qualifier.

Good job Ken!!! Save them bad boys!!

Glad you can save some of these classic 2 stroke gems! Sad that they sat for so long!

Ken Can Fix It 🎶

If i may say ..out of all that mess lol i liked the little street bike like to see that restored and prettied up..

1978 x r 75 ,thats what I first learned how to ride a motorcycle on ,bike was brand new & abused like its supposed to be

When was this updated? These are going to be some gems once the Wizard gets his hands on em! Love that you are saving these babies! Lots of great childhood memories with these bikes. My family has been in the motorcycle business my entire life, and I often sat and stared at these bikes and sat on a many of them dreaming of owning one!

A Honda pickers dream Great video

Looks like a sunburst head on one of them I loved the CR125 hi boy

The 79 with Kessler Pro Suspension 👍😁

That's a dream 2 strokes are so rare over here

I had those two Hondas 75 and a 50cc When I was a kid like 50 years ago should of kept all the 80s and 90s bikes I had probably be worth more today than I paid for them back then. Only have one bike now I ride once in a awhile 92 KTM 300 EXC been a great bike.
