i can't get enough of the big bore 2 strokes i grew upwith them hell i was 14 yrs old n had a new 1983 yellow n black yz 490 i guess i just like how wicked they were
First bike that ever completely cleaned my bowels out! I was 15 and got off my cr125 onto this beast. Drop the clutch. Front wheel pointin at the clouds. Feet fly of pegs. Whiskey throttle across the field and ate bout 10
pounds of grass and dirt. Worst part is after watchin that vid i wana do it all over again. Can taste the dirt and hear my friends howling with laughter. DAMN GOOD TIMES!!!!
Good times man.. Good times. Like hearing stories like this. Thanks for sharing.
I let my friend ride mine as he assured me he could handle it. He said "it's OK I've rode a KDX 175 before". I replied "Well this isn't anything like a KDX 175!"
Of course he revved it up, dumped the clutch, front wheel pointed sky high, feet immediately came off the pegs as it rocketed away, was able to at least dump the throttle, front came back down hard, almost hit a clothes line pole, got it stopped and said "Holy $hit!". I replied "I told you it wasn't anything like a KDX 175...."
He had respect for it's power after that! LOL
My brother did the same thing on a 97 Yz-250,it guarantee the back tire was 10ft of the ground, I was laughing so hard i threw up the beer 🍺 I was drinking. Laughing right now.
Massive respect to you guys from here in the UK. I love your vids on the mx bikes, especially the 500's . I had a husky cr 500 at 16 and loved them ever since. Had my fair share of kick backs trying to start the bloody things but you guys make it look easy. Keep up the good work guys :)
That bike was a dinosaur back when I was riding in the early 90’s . I don’t know where you find these 30 years later . Unbelievable .
What a beauty!! Big bore 2strokes are the best. I have a 1993 Husqvarna CR360 myself. Greets from sweden
sweet bike! Love them classic ride red Hondas!
Ken please show some of the race footage . I am sure everyone else on here would enjoy seeing that too .
I had a 81 CR450. What a beast. I still have the ST1300 2007 like the one you did the video on. Adding a 2023 KLR650 to my collection.
Exactly nothing like a big bore 2 stroke sounds and power!
4 gears! more than enough, had one loved it to bits
You've really have rode em all Ken... amazing stuff man. 👍👍👍
Kαπλανη σου αρέσουν πολύ τα Honda βλέπω! Όλο αυτά Καβαλάς και γουστάρεις! Πάρε ένα like ακόμη..
Loved my CR450 with the left side kicker because I am 5'3" tall and I was able to start it!
It would dig trenches better than a Ditch Witch! Stick it in 3rd gear and ride it in most places with just the throttle.
I’m short too, why is it easier with the kick starter on the left?
@@kevinmygreenenergy5525 Because you can stand beside it, jump up and kick it over. Where with right side kicker you have to straddle the bike that is too tall to kick and touch the ground at the same time.
A old trick to prime is rock it back and forth in gear .No need to kick to prime & it will start first kick
Look at how that front end lifts up without even barely getting on it. Hell yeah.
Beautiful bike. This channel is like porn to us bike guys 🤘
Beautiful bike I would back date that to a 1979 rc500!
Where does he get these wonderful toys...
One kick haha awesome still rockin it in the free world Ken
Man that's a gorgeous bike
Couldn't have started that to save my life. Clutches use to let go too Hand full of revs Grab a gear They would take off by them self's. Smicko nick
Old School, Bad Assery! Poor Larry. He knows y'all love him, but y'all don't let him live it down! Lmao. 😂😂❤️
The bike came out the year after I graduated from high school. It still won your shootout , Awesome ! Was that the shootout between it and the 2021 CR450F four stroke ? Sorry I missed it , can you please send me a link to the shootout ? I'd like to see Old School whip up on new technology.
I am French where can we find the exhaust and the parts for the restoration?🙃
THAAATS the BIKE!! Gorgeous!!
Your channels so unique I hope ur channel explodes soon as well as mine. Great vid 👍
The Gasman very well done I see someone has been watching how to get subs !!!!! It works
What up gassy?!
1981, wonderful
Does this bike come with a bunch of extra shift forks and whatnot? 'cuz, it's going to need them...
I had one, beautiful bike. Would not stay together but, man it was fun while it did.
Nice. My brother had one. Wish he would of kept it!
Best bike I ever owned
Sweet ride!!! ❤️

Bruh I had a toy 450 I never thought theirs a real one

The first big bore with the Elsinore name
1981 CR450R. 450? They have 431 cc. And a top speed of 70mph. Its little brother the cr80r will.hit.about 70mph . 6.speed tyanny.
Awesome classic....check out my 84 cr500r i just got from the original owner since 85 👍
Bigger 🆒💯🏁
The first elsinore 500 and the last with the elsinore name
You can't really call it a 500 when it is a 431cc
3k for a big bore kit? Geez bikes are gettin expensive!
💥😲💥
4:00 not even in the power band and she roase 😁
81 450 is the worst honda ever!! but also the coolest:)
Don't know if it was the coolest but it was certainly the worst. Gotta give Honda credit though, they went from the worst open bike to one of the best by the next year.

Third

Where's the big ugly front number plate??
Second..
FIRST
the only 450 worth riding
Goddamn tractor noise engine.....
2:06 "Fairly common for a vintage bike like this" Tranny bad. No , not common at all.
Yes, it is. Not wanting to grab gears or slip into neutral is very common with older bikes that were ridden hard.
Worst bike Honda ever made...
but most beautiful!
The kx420 is a better bike than the cr 450 is junk
Those are clean fox F3 boots.
