- Had to Borrow my Friends 2001 CR500 for race 3 after mine broke race 2. Took me 3 laps to get used to it. Was pumped to pick off the 3 riders I needed to to make it back to 4th in the race and 3rd overall for the day!

Nothing like a 2 stroke!!
Looks like the CR500 is fishing for some four strokes.....reeling them in.
Thank you for sharing. Love the 450s but a good old school 2 strokes is still mesmerizing. Fantastic job !!!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Simon
That distinctive sound of the CR. I had a CR-250, One of my friends had a CR500..It was a beast of an Open machine.
Awesome bikes
RIDE RED only HONDA, 2 cycle POWERBAND, some people don't like it.
Nothing but respect for anyone who has the skill and fitness to ride this machine like this.
A little bit of throttle goes a long way on the CR500...it takes a lot of discipline and experience to ride one of those beasts. Mad respect.
You can clearly see that a 2 stroke with the right rider can be very competitive with the new bikes
Whoa, i must have been under a rock Neville, ive been watching you on Max's channel so much Over and over. Never even realised you had yr own channel! Sorry for being a such a donkey.
Ace ride! Some of those lads were really trying their best to snatch your lines, There's always a way around on a CR, you always find em.
Apologies for not finding your channel sooner. You keep my small glories alive from 30 yrs ago kid! Much respect mate.
Awesome , no mean feat, the CR500’s a handful unless your 100% on it 💪🏻😎
Been riding CR500'S for 35 years .. I have a 97 CR500 in my garage right now.. just never been able to get on another bike.. Anyways that was really fun watching you ride, brought back a lot of memories..Ride red forever take care of yourself 👍👍
Thanks Dan 👊🏻👊🏻👍
You did a great job of recon-ing the course. I noticed your lines thru the corners hardly ever changed. Respect!
Thanks Tom
Excellent Ride. Really loved the power forward through the pack.
Two strokes never die. CR 500 is a beast.
2strokes forever 😁✊🏻
Great job, Nev!! You watched, you waited till you found your lines (groove) and reeled them in till it was all over but the crying! They never knew what hit em!! Your riding was smooth and calculated!! Go, team Bradshaw!!!
When they could hear it coming, they were skeerd.
It was like as soon as he passed them, the CR500 roost served as 4stroke repellent
Haha bet that stung 😁
Thanks for an awesome video. I have had both 2 and 4 strokes, but the smell, the sound of the 2 strokes is just hard to beat.
still love the sound of the 2 strokes
Awesome... Hard to beat good ole Old School 2 Stroke power !! Great ride Bro !!
Cheers boss ✊🏻
Plus they sound better .
Raced a 84 CR 500 when I was 16. My buddy and I got them for having good grades our sophomore year. The most fun I ever had. Still have dreams of riding and racing that big bore!
Such cool bikes
I had the 1984 cr500,the widow maker. port polished etc. Insane bike,really really miss that bike.
Savage old things 💯
About 20 years ago a mate decided to turn a CR500 into a road legal super moto, he rode it once, scared the snot out of himself and sold it!
I raced 500s in the 90s. Love to watch you ride! I smoked 450s all day!😁😁
I love how it didn't look like you were pushing to make risky moves at the holeshot. Waited for it to thin out and then it was hunting time!!! Good shit dude!
haha cheers mate
I liked your patience, developing good lines and braking points and then letting her rip. Much faster in the later portion of the moto. Seemed like the bike was never really working hard while the fartelaters ran scared. Nice race.
Thanks Tom ✊🏻💨
FARTELATER !!!!!!!!
Fart-el-ator. A four stroke dirt bike and/or the sound made by same.
Hello Nev, can't wait to see you blast that Maico 700cc MEGLADON. 🙏🇬🇧👍
Man, I was gettin into that ride! Great job. You took a little while to get tuned in, but started using that torque to reel em in.. Awesome riding! 2 things I noticed and maybe its because your bike runs different than my '86 did. One was you lost time following in the guy ahead's same line. Just have to focus on using a different line than the guy ahead, even if slower (can't pass if following and the other guy bobbles it -Brad Lackey). My automatic shifting part of the brain was wanting to go up another gear than you were in sometimes and use the torque via hammering the clutch to keep her in the sweet spot. There's no other bike I know of that you can consistently be a gear higher than the rest of the pack, and hammer the clutch for max power/RPM's. Mine had copper plates in the clutch to dissipate heat. But you started doing that later in the ride, and you were on the next guy in no time.. Just trying to be helpful, not back seat quarterback. You covered a lot of terrain very quickly. You didn't let the small stuff ruin the big picture. You were looking way ahead towards the end, and getting there fast. Great job! Makes me wish the ol' bod could still handle that beating.. Some of my best memories were Fri night mx at Ascot. I rode the last days the track was open. CR500 or XR600. Dam that 600 ran. Was built, had white power shock with fork kit, one of Al Baker's prototype cams fresh out of a bike he won b to v with. Love the unlimited class. So, different line than the guy ahead, and give the bike a tall gear to cover lots of ground fast. And, MORE VIDS PLS!! 👍🏽👍🏽
Cheers mate
u wrote a whole essay
@@WisconsinHunter2008 - Yes, because I really liked this bad ass video..
@@biophillie you remind me from a guy that lives by us and he lives over the hill from us and his name is phil and we call him "fill from over the hill" which your name reminded me has him. btw yes this video was badazz.
@@WisconsinHunter2008 - Haha.. Actually some friends started calling me that since I moved onto a hill across the Owens Valley from them. Located not far from the Mt. Whitney, Calif. area. I figured if they liked the name, I might as well use it.. Used to race the '86 CR500 at tracks like Ascot, Carlsbad, Perris. Dang thing ran and rode great with just a pipe on it.. 3rd gear starts.. Grab a handful and work the clutch! They were fun times..
Loved it!! Better than watching TV.
That was really fun. You and #33 came together at the start and he got the best of it, then he spent the entire race just a bike or three ahead of you. Total hound/rabbit scenario and I found myself looking for him in the distance as the gap widened until he couldn't be seen. Then he comes back into view and you slowly reel him in while you're both navigating back markers. You could tell he felt the push from behind because he finally broke and let you by without putting up a defense. Great riding and so much fun to watch!
😁✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
This was a gem! Beautiful bike.... Beautiful riding.... Cheers, Doug
Thanks Doug 😁
Are you starting in 2nd gear? Try some 3rd gear starts if you're not, CR500's can pull them no problem.
Well Said, I did ask Max (999lazer) to ask Nev that Q. Thats what they did and thats why we holeshotted em!
What the fuck lol, you get out of first gear on one of these? Haha
loved my 500, never had to shift
@@kennethwood713 they didnt make automatics.
3rd gear WOT holeshots are a thing when you're on a 500.
Loved it, what a great way to start my Easter morning on board with you in this race, Amen!
Nice work being consistent and picking them off one by one... I was waiting for you to pick off Greedy since he pinched you off on purpose early in the race, lol.
When you pass them on the CR500 it morally deflates them especially after they've gotten a little tired! I just rode a 89 CR 500 at the Desert 100, pure Magic.
Haha cheers mate. Good to race the boys on the old machine 😁✊🏻
Arms and Balls of Steel
My hands are all sweaty watching this! Good video!
Haha.! Cheers mate
@@nevsta272 I almost fell off my chair a couple of times leaning into those hairpin corners! LOL!
What a great ride, and a fun track. No 50 foot jumps, just some wicked whoops, and tight twisty turns.
Good natural MX track ✊🏻✊🏻😁
Kev ur a f*&king legend!!! From Charlie & Luke in Aussieland!! Go the 500 man!!!!!!
Thanks lads 😁👊🏻
Loved the race. After you got use to the new bike you made up time real fast. Take care. Vaughn
You rode the wheels off it ! Fair play !!
Cheers boss
wow that thing goes forward holy shit
but also good rider
😁 thanks! Fun bike ✊🏻
Ring a ding ding two smoke is 🤴
Yesssirrrrr ✊🏻💨💨💨💨
As the laps went on i could hear the throttle smooth out and you really hammered down...nice ride!
Thanks mate. Fun race
Give that CR500 the same suspension and see what happens. In the 80's Kawasaki made a 3 cylinder 750 two stroke street bike and it was so fast they band it.
Picking them off like Flys and love the way you ride that CR500 Like its a 125 WOW! Got a good lol when you would pull up on them and they could hear you and that is when they lose their power, SEE YA
Haha was a fun race ✊🏻✊🏻
WOW- I was glued to that footage
Haha cheers mate
i dont know why this was recommended, nor do i care a bit about motorcycle racing. having said that, this was a really fun thing to watch! congratulations on your win! :)
Haha cheers
Long live the two stroke. Great race my man 👍
Thanks Carl :-)
That 500 stomps the 450 four strokes and I have one of the best 450s on the planet I don’t want to go against it.
Haha cheers. She hauls for an old girl
That track is designed for 4 strokes, not 2 strokes. Hard to stay on the pipe.
Nevs learnt to ride from Taxis drivers back in the day when traffic was back stopped came through on the emgency lane throwing black labels out the window while overtaking. Well done very well rounded and super person fit with the skill to match remembered you as such a calculated rider too.
Haha forsure boet
Amazing how Robbie Knievel made starting a CR 500 look so easy.
haha all about technique
Less parts on a two stroke more torque also!3 gear starts !
4!!
Simply a joy to watch💪💪
Bloody awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!
Nice pass on Greedy and the rest, you are the 2 stroke dominator of the world nev!
Haha was a fun race that buddy
Nice job feller. 2 strokes forever. Love my CR5. You lapped many, yeah baby.
😁✊🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome. The 500 is legendary!
Thanks Paul
Riding a CR500 is so much fun you just put it in third gear and go
The 500 will dominate that feild I don’t need to watch
The real Red Rooster all others need not apply!!!
Wide open thru the straights but coasts thru turns and over jumps. Which is exactly how you ride a 500.
Momentum is key on the big girl 💯
@@nevsta272 👍
Reminds me of Riding in the dense comfort zone on my Cr 250 where fatigue becomes your friend not worried
Haha
Nice riding on that monster. I can't even keep my buddy's CR250 in a straight line when I hit the gas. Can't imagine a 500.
Haha savage ol machines but good fun
Amazing flowing lines
Cheers Dan
not afraid of the ruts... use them like a train track. good run
Thanks mate :-)
Grip strength and stamina. Hella dudes faded. Love the sound but I don't miss kick starting those beasts.
Haha man mission every time to get it going 🥴🥴🥴😂
Brilliant 😉👍🇬🇧♥️
Ok So the CR500 overshoots the turns so handling is bad. I know it’s heavier but braking is so important on this bike and the suspension needed to be softer. They need to build it to where the computer recognizes a turn a tunes the engine down to be more manageable in turns and then it goes back to normal on the straights
Great ride, great track, wish that was me
Fun race 😁✊🏻
CR 500 Start In 3rd Gear No Problem ! I Raced 2 Strokes All Through The Late 70s And 80s ! They Need To Bring Them BACK ! 2 Strokes Allow Riders From Average Income Families To Enter In The Pleasures Of RACING ! WAY Easier And Cheaper To Work On, Not That You Will Be Working On It Too Much Because They Last Forever ! I Used To Rebuild My Own Bike As Needed, Mostly TOP END Only And It Was AFFORDABLE ! 4 Strokes Although Theyve MUCH IMPROVED Over The Years Are Just Way Too Expensive To Keep Running And Far Too Sophisticated For The Average Joe To Work On, And You Better Have A TON Of Money ! Long Live The 2Stroke !
My thoughts exactly mate 😁
If 4 strokes are so expensive and hard to work on how come my three-wheeler is it four stroke and once I got the engine rebuilt it hasn't needed anything but gas and my dad's XR650 they say that the engine is harder to break than a steel ball
@@alexpellitteri633 your 3 wheeler & your dad's xr650 are very very different from race ready 450 dirtbikes.
@@alexpellitteri633 And a lot more comoression, and way bigger valves, & way more aggressive cams.....
@@elonmust7470 yes I know he got it stroked and bored and he has done other things to the engine he has even changed the final drive gear and change the exhaust
I thought that the 2 strokes were banned from racing , only four strokes now , guess I was wrong . unless only certain races allow them ?
Not banned just 90% choose to race 4 strokes
I think I saw a bunch of excellent late braking, there, too.
Cheers mate
Yeah some of it was the bike, but mostly it was the skill and iron man endurance! Some of the riders at the end you could almost hear them say, "F@@K THIS" and pull over, they had nothing on you. Can't wait to bust out my 1984 CR 500 for some trail riding. Thanks for the video!
Haha gotta pace them motos out 😁
pure power
Awesome. Totally awesome! Great pov, love the sound of that 500👍💯🎉🤟🍻 What them boys say to ya after that whoopin!!???
Haha not a lot I don’t think 😜😂
Ok Japanese motocross brands ! Here is the perfect reason you guys should still be building 2 strokes !
Haha 100 percent bring back some Japanese 2 strokes
My hands went numb watching this
Haha 😁👍
Awesome ride!!!good choice of machine nothing like a 2 stroke!!!
Mixing gas hauling ass 😁🤘🏻
Hell yea! You can definitely ride my friend!!
cheers Joe ::-)
Awesome. Love the 500
Skilled riding, beast of a bike!
Point and squirt machine.!. Haha
When you hear the ping and see the smoke
You've just been past by a fast 2 stroke
Haha yessiirrrrrr 😁✊🏻💨
@@nevsta272 DAMN STRAIGHT 😁👍🤘
Great ride brother
Thanks boss
Excellent Charge !
Thanks mate
Wow..awesome riders
Gee, that bike is quick.
I'd take a 2 smoke 🚬 over a thumper any time🤙🇺🇲
snap buddy
There's no way, he revved-- that 500cc up-- at the gate. Bone stock - is very bad. Plus, it sounds lik -- a 250cc. Definitely not California -- ught dirt.
That 500 is all about RPM's .
yup goes forward good at low rpm. all about momentum on the big ones haha
Nice riding....
Cheers mate 😁✊🏻
Dayuum! Thats a bad ass track! What class was that?
Mx1 class mate
Nice ride, i miss mine👍
Thanks Damien
I can remember my IT 490 doing this on pony express races. But 4 strokes have come a long way. The old 500cc thumpers wouldn’t stand a chance against us.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Legend!
Who does Neville's Head and Cinder porting? Who does he use? Is it in the States, Canada or local to him????
You should add a 34 mill carb that thing would be screaming
Mikuni..?
Loved it !Great ride!
Thanks Shane
damn son! Running them boys down!
😁🙌🏻🙌🏻
That is a proper and beautiful motocross track. Where is it?
It’s called long lane. Near Shrewsbury UK
This was awesome! Now do it on a 1984 YZ490 lol
Haha that would be pretty sweet!
How about a YZ 360 monoshock!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀 mine was fast as hell!!😁😁😁🏍🏍🏁🏁🏁🍺🍺🍺
*Maico 490.*
Title pointles more powerful bike passes less powerful bikes
Similar HP and 25 years older
I didn't watch the video. I know if I was there on a KX 500, it would've been a showdown with the the other 500. First one to make a mistake lost. If we don't, the KX can take the CR, good challenge though.
Y don't u coast into a corner off the throttle a bit more. Cmon man get aggressive out there. Power the corners
There’s no engine braking on a 500 man.. gotta try keep momentum up
The beast!
😁✊🏻✊🏻
So that's supposed to be a motocross track it's like a flat dirt track
You watching the same video bro..?
