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...
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!!!
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
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!!!!
Ken is awesome and straight forward your gonna get a great bike from him for sure.

Beautiful bike, Ken! I love the color scheme and graphics on this bike! Ride red... 100% and then some!
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.
I had an 89 that I rode for 10 years. Really wish I kept it. Lately I've been getting that itch again.
Mans Bike ! God bless Kaplan America !
What a classic beast! And that sound... EARGASM!
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.
Stunning machine, Kaplan America is One with the big Hondo. 🙏
thats the cleanest and baddest low idle exhaust note i ever heard.....lovin it....long live the big bore 2 smokers!!!!!
Ooooh, I love the white letter tires. Cool touch.
Hell yea brother....even ray Charles knows when he hears a cr500r....best bike made
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.
Still love watching these videos Ken even after you’ve sold them 👍🏻 🏁🏁🏁

Rode one upstate ny years ago, BEAST!
Damn I had a 250 and a 500 nice bikes 2 stroke life
The Monster cr500 nothing like deep 2 stroke sound nice build
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.
You make a CR 500 look like an CR80!
I used to start in 3rd gear in the sand on this beast🏁✊ few extra teeth on that back sprocket ‼️holeshot city. She sounds peeeeeeerfect❤️💓💓
I gotta get one of these from you guys!!
Ooooooh, she's purrrrty. That's the real deal right there brother.

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!
The landscaper needs something to do anyway 👍👍none of them are working this time of year anyway lol
I'm one of them 👎
Good morning, 👍👍👍super machine 😍😍😉thanks for your video 💪😉
That 500 sounds so crisp
Crisp! 2 strokes rule!
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...
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.. 😎

Were you afraid of first gear?

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!
