That sound..... and that feeling....... man... it just makes you feel better..... lol... the rush of it is just too addictive!! The fact that you guys get to do it for a living is just the best thing EVER!!!!
Kaplan thank you For keeping the cr500 and kx500.alive .also before I leave this beautiful world of ours. It would be my last wish.to see you ride a 1977 Yamaha TT 500 yes it's 4stroke. It was my bike for many years .keemo stopped me in my tracks. God bless u guys much love and respect
Your enthusiasm for motorcycles is not only fantastic KK, it's infectious! Love the way your Family shares your passion too, ride safe and ride often, oh and video it all, cheers A.
That is one sick an beautiful CR 500. I love the two tone color seat, with red and black. I also loved John Greer's red, white, and blue seat. It's the most beautiful seat I have ever seen, next to the GasGas Factory Seat. ML&R.
SHES A CREDIT TO YA KENNY. YOU SURE DO LOVE A BIG BORE. Have a 92 here in uk very similar Only my frame is white! Love it when it sits nice in the band. You know if you know, know what I mean Ken haha. Makes me wana go out n ride👊✊💨
My '96 is virtually unmolested to the point that Im still running the stock pipe (that is in outstanding condition!). The only deviations from stock are the silencer, Gold Valve suspension revalving and heavier springs, oversize front disc, and red instead of black radiator shrouds (I prefer the red). I allways followed "The Drill" to start mine cold.. Gas on Choke on Rock it back and forth a few times Neutral TDC Kick it like you mean it. It usually starts first kick! 😎👍
Hey man thanks for showing some really nice bikes ! I love your enthusiasm! You can tell that you are loving every minute ! Thanks brother ! Respect Jammin' Jimmy El Sobrante , CA. 94803
Modern 450 ain't gotta chance in hell against that beast. Don't mean to be rude or anything but those bikes are blowing away all the new stuff away hope that might clear the air for you ,Ya should see if you can find one to ride and you'll find out what it's like you'll never want to get off of a bike like that!
Hahahaha.... " when i put a helmet on.. Its about ro get real"....😁 "this is my favourte 500, am going to send it shortly". "Landscaper not going to be happy".. Should be keeping all 2 stroke motocrossers and putting in museum...
The cr500 was a low compression motor I believe 6.5.1 the kx,ktm 500 were more u don't need a compression release on the cr nice bike I'm a Honda guy I'm just saying
Hey if you're gonna send it ,send it to me I'll send you my address in NOR-CAL and I'll finish teste'n it for ya ,Oh you want money, I guess I'll have stick with my 96 cr250 ! Thank you guys for standing up for dirt bikers. Kaplan America to the rescue!!!

Beautiful bike, Ken! I love the color scheme and graphics on this bike! Ride red... 100% and then some!

I had an 89 that I rode for 10 years. Really wish I kept it. Lately I've been getting that itch again.
I’d love to have a two stroker to hop on and rip, but a 500 is a little more than I need. Damn that’s nice.
Still love watching these videos Ken even after you’ve sold them 👍🏻 🏁🏁🏁
i got to get me one someday absolutely awesome..❤️ 🇺🇸
Wow beautiful build. I’m in the middle of building a 97’ myself. How did you get the original tank to shine like that?
Robert Walden: I’d guess wrap it with 3M Wrap. Drain and wash the tank out so you don’t go BOOM when you use the heat gun.
Stunning machine, Kaplan America is One with the big Hondo. 🙏
You really can't beat the McGrath era hondas. They were the fastest and most wicked race bike you could buy. Ride red my brother.
Mans Bike ! God bless Kaplan America !
Ooooh, I love the white letter tires. Cool touch.
thats the cleanest and baddest low idle exhaust note i ever heard.....lovin it....long live the big bore 2 smokers!!!!!
Hell yea brother....even ray Charles knows when he hears a cr500r....best bike made
Stunning bike ! Ken ,back in your racing days did you ever run across Bill Malone or his son Billy? maybe at Unadilla they were from New Jersey...

My '96 is virtually unmolested to the point that Im still running the stock pipe (that is in outstanding condition!). The only deviations from stock are the silencer, Gold Valve suspension revalving and heavier springs, oversize front disc, and red instead of black radiator shrouds (I prefer the red).
I allways followed "The Drill" to start mine cold..
Gas on
Choke on
Rock it back and forth a few times
Neutral
TDC
Kick it like you mean it.
It usually starts first kick! 😎👍
Dr. Hugo G. Hackenbush I got a SC2 40mm carb and it is so easy to start. Literally no jets and it runs so crisp. Very happy with it!
You make a CR 500 look like an CR80!
That's not a decompression release, Junior.. That's a 1/4 lb. boost of Nitrous.. THAT is how Senior is beating you at the 500cc drag strip.. 😎
Do you do finance to the UK
Send it where?
Pfff, want one. How older i get, how more i want that kind of bike.
Thats a beast, very nice bike..for sale?
On ebay now yes
That 500 sounds so crisp

Hey ken I'd like to buy a built 500
God I love that bike!!! I would literally give one of my organs for that bike.
These cr 500s have more than tripled in price. Back in 1987 I ordered a 88 cr 500 for 3400 bucks brand new .

All your CR 500’s are mint
So power wise how does a 500 compare to a modern 450!? Im sure theyre lighter.
Modern 450 ain't gotta chance in hell against that beast. Don't mean to be rude or anything but those bikes are blowing away all the new stuff away hope that might clear the air for you ,Ya should see if you can find one to ride and you'll find out what it's like you'll never want to get off of a bike like that!
