As a Marine combat vet I gotta say people like you make this country worth fighting for! Keep it up brother, you keep me entertained and drive my wife crazy 😜
TYFYS,...and you make this country worth believing in.
@@interstellaraxeman4468 Don't ever give up hope there are still a lot of people out there that still think and belive the way we do.
its guys like YOU that we do this for, and without you our lifestyle would not be possible! Thank you for serving and keeping our country respected & safe, God Bless the Marine's & The United States Of America!
God Bless you Sir. Thank you for my freedom.
Amen to that!
That bike is utter badassery. That'd be hell on wheels with a street legal super motard kit installed.
Lets be honest.. there is no price u can put on any bike ken that will ever match th price of th pure awsomeness of th fact that u are doing what ur doing. Its 1988 forever bros. I love this shit like oxygen. U guys r my church.
I did a 250 not long ago I always loved my green machines .. finally got new husky 450 first time having a four stroke I’m prettier impressed
Beautiful build. Respect to Danny Hamel, the KX500 legend.
WOW!
I'm speechless.
Got to hand it to y'all... this KX500 is sweet looking and runs very strong.
There is nothing better than a 2 stroke 500+cc motocross bike!!! I should have NEVER sold my CR500!!! Thats a dang sweet KX500! I love the better looking front and rear fenders, and updated look and components! Your collection and everything you do for the motorcyle industry is so amazing! THANK YOU Kaplann America for your hard work and taking us along the adventure!
What an amazing bike! Not to mention the graphics.........Christie's designs are so cool! I hope she offers some of her work to the public someday!
I'm still trying to wrap my head around Kaplan computers. I just can't see Sr working with computers.
Is that how he made his fortune
@@TheMarkdick no watch his video about his life it’s about an hour long he discusses it
you kidding right? he looks so much like my dad, so I assumed I doesn't give a crap about PCs 😂😂
Team green is looking goooooooooooooooood!!!!! 👌
Love the content!! You guys do it right!! I’m a former snowcat tech at Mammoth mountain. Mammoth moto was the highlight of the year for me. My last season was when McGrath killed it. Nothing like Mammoth moto. Your like Dave McCoy. Nothing is impossible.
Wonderful show, channel, event, family, and business! You can truly tell each machine is loved and cherished, and that it hurts you guys a little to see it go! It made me think of the few times in my life where I sold bikes that I put my hard-earned money, and countless hours of time and consideration into - nothing compared to the process and extent you guys commit to in planning, fabrication, and restoration!
You guys always produce stunning new & vintage motorcycle stock - and now your brand means something to people! Kaplan Cycles has some of the most hard working, knowledgeable, innovative, and intelligent men and women in the American motorcycle business and culture. Thank you for entertaining content, and I hope to purchase a bike from you guys within the next year or two to get my piece of the Kaplan/Service Honda CR500 pie - still saving! 👌 💪👍 - pray that I win a lottery so I can buy 2 or 3! lmbo haha
Love the two-stroke videos fellas definitely missing my 500 now
I commented on this bike before and I'll say it again you guys absolutely pulled out all the stops on this one she is beautiful. It makes me proud that people like you and businesses like yours put this much attention into vintage motorcycles. Absolutely bristling with trickery😂👍
🐝🏁 I love my KX500 1990,, I paid 4k new, those days are history 😢. Cool 😎 old video 👊
Now that's how a KX-500 should sound!
Ken you and your son bring us some of the best ass bikes love the hulk ! The whole group is cool! Thanks again .
Christy's graphics look incredible and complete the level of badass this bike deserves WOW!
Can't call it a fast kx500 until we see it be a CR500 which is known to be a tiny bit faster, can't wait to see the head-to-head race 😂👍
Loving the 500 fanaticism! Fun fun fun!
That is one gorgeous Kawasaki KX 500! It has Tunda in the engine, like Moses says. Love the Hulk Graphics that Christie made.
That KX is so clean it could do my laundry.
Two sick bikes for sure man!!! I was lucky enough to be born the days of the 2 stroke. Long live
Great, Bike ,& You All have Soo Much Fun Together, & Moses, is A Cool & Funny Man 🤜🎯🤛
What a weapon!! Looks like the hulk with wheels 💪,keep the videos coming, from your friend down under🇭🇲✌
Man I love your Chanel bro I'll be coming from the UK to meet you and see the bikes you have
Absolute beauty Ken what a Kawasaki Kx500 love it so nicely done ✅ 😍 ❤️ 👍🏻
Cant be filming Ronnie Mac with out all the head gear on.... LOL!!!😜
I am a Honda CR man also but I give respect where respect is due. What a sweet Beast of a machine!
that kx500 is the best 500 you guys have made yet!!!
I was never a KX fan in the past, but might become one if riding that thang ! lol
A kx500 would change your mind 👍
THAT MOTOR IS SICK yes !!! that pop ! I miss that
Amazing bikes, CR's are also my favorite. That KX is gorgeous tho too, dang you guys are lucky
Great graphics kit your lady has skills No Doubt❤
It would be EPIC to see these 500's with paddles ripping and especially jumping the Sand Dunes.
I've got hours of that footage on my Playlist folders check sand mountain 21 folder
That's a gem!
Y'all made a mythical beast
Wooow those bikes be next level serious!! 🔥💪
absolute beast !
I know you are a Honda man and I have always been myself. But you can't lie and say that powerband in the Kawadoggy 500s is not the most amazing controllable power you've ever felt. It's MAGICAL with the KIPS that is a true monster
I built a really good KX500 motor years ago. Kustom Kraft did the cylinder. it was probably early 2000’s. And yes it was fast.
That is one sweet beautiful bike
Iv an 80s guy and Iv got a built 02 ktm 125sx and Iv rode them all. Why no respect to 125s. They are the most fun torquey bikes and deserve more spotlight! Some of us can’t kick a 500 and surely not afford one. Well 125s kick ass to! Love your channel!
You dont watch enough of kaplan . I have personally seen kaplan himself ripping a fresh 125 just reborn by his army of wrenches several different times .. and how about the Husqvarna TC 125 that is transfer port electronic fuel injected that makes 40 horsepower ...who doesnt what to throw a leg over that one ..you should know of or the history of the 1982 suzuki RM125-Z full-floater ..that at age 32 i was able to score 3rd overall in the illiana supercross series in the 30+ open class battling everything bigger ...it was a hoot dude passing big maicos huskys old Elsinores kaws and yamadogs , everyone except two national pros sponsored by team kawasaki riding their KX250 factory works proto types and both riders that year decided to drop their ama pro license that by ama rules allows you to run all amateur classes as the 30+ open class is ....and whaaaaaa i would of had this if it wasnt for gene ramsey and gary peak ...and one night i was staring at the checkered flag with gary coming up on me hard. This was just after i purposely roosted both of them tangled up together on a berm ..and apparently gary managed to get up first .....and dumbass me had to see the look on gary's face and did the unthinkable and turned my head to look back at gary only to see a braaaap throwing away 1st giving the race to gary and putting myself in 2nd and costing me just enough points to put me into 3rd overall in the championship ...this was not my first rodeo putting pressure on the kaw boys causing them to fuck up ....but its all good kid ..get yourself a new 2023 husky TC125 efi 40 horsepower buzz bomb and embarrass a bunch with bigger bikes
In my day this is what we had that was nothing to shake a stick at !

And this is what there is today for you kid >>>
The new and improved berm busters. At todays inflated prices ! But the tool you need to do the dirty deeds not done for cheap

"Such a beautiful beast" 💪🏼💪🏼
you need to put MOSES in more videos he is great!!!!!
Awesome bike
Very cool!!! 🕊️
Awesome totally awesome! Kaplan where can I get a tank for my killer 2004 KX 500 like the one you got on the Hulkster? And what did you have to do to retrofit the modern 450 rear wheel and front suspension?
Dude I love how much you love America. I wish 1/4 of Americans were as patriotic as you. And I love how much you love bikes. Wish I could have you as neighbors or cousins or something 😂
This is a unreal motorbike is just 🔥I would like to own this bike...it looks like 💣...from Australia...🇦🇺
Go Man Go looking badness brother
Bike of my dreams right there
AWESOME!👍👍
Im a yamaha guy, but the hulkster is AMAZING! And i know your a cr guy , but when will you build a monster 500 yz?
Absoluteley mental bike mate.
I'd love to get my hands on one of those big cc 2 strokers, 500 cc's or bigger.
That jacket is fire ken!!!
Rrrrrrr rrrrrr, Rrrrrrrrip your house off the foundation, fuck I love it when Ken does that 😂😂👍
This is what America is about. I'm british and our fun days are long done!
BAD ASS MACHINE!
You guys ever thought of gluing a felt pad to the bike stands, so the under frames don't get all scratched up ? Just a thought ? Great bike and video.
Excellent idea
Top shelf 👌
Gotta luv that extra crispy exhaust note.
Tell us what makes that happen
Too bad you dont have a clue why a two stroke makes it happen
That this is EPIC
I love you man your the best , make my days .I have a few you toys you would like aswell .
6 three wheelers 5 dirt bikes a 4 wheelers, a honda odyssey

@@KaplanCycles Ken mentions in the video he has a full write up of whats been done to this bike, model etc.. can I have a copy or where can I see this?
Reason is should we not be able to win the auction, we 100% will be requesting a KX500 to this EXACT same setup for racing the AORC (Australian Off Road Championship)...and once we win...we will then be answering to everyone down here in Australia who wants one..so we will be putting in an order 😊
Just think...after, you guys can then state in your marketing that Kaplan bikes are winning races all across Australia 😊👍
Nice have a couple of guys at the local dealer that super motard rmz450's they chuck out 85hp+ at the wheels fully moded (520cc, custom ecu and a few extra goodies) soo really if power is your thing a 4 stroke still wins pretty easily but love 2 strokes.
can i see the dyno sheets or a video link here? if not im calling bullshtit on the claim of 85+ HP, in fact ill bet money thats a lie. -SR
@@KaplanCycles lol 😂 wow some people will believe anything. I saw a video a while ago by a guy with a KTM 500 4 stroke fully modded supermoto and they claimed it put out just over 50 or 60hp to the wheel can’t quite remember. But strangely enough for some reason they blurred out the dyno screen the guy made some completely absurd excuse as to why he didn’t want to show the screen on camera made absolutely no sense 🤥. Don’t have a link but I’m sure if you searched modded KTM 500 4 stroke dyno you’d find it. In fact if i remember right the dyno wasn’t even set up properly with the fans and don’t know the name but the thing that goes behind the exhaust 🧐. Anyway another great video that is an absolutely gorgeous KX would love to see what she dyno’s at? Should do one just to show them how it’s done properly 😆. Stay safe and all the best to all the family from Scotland 🏴
There you go Rich James. You've been challenged. Let's see what you got
The bikes are in NZ and the dealer has a wksp with the dyno it is not a fabrication, I love your guys videos keep up the great work 2 strokes FE guys.
Hulk!!ole green!!!
I would love to have one just like that
Wow just need the purple riding gear to match that beast !!
Rear fender is great. Those stock ones are such head scratchers. That alone makes the bike go from ugly to wow.
Ken is my new favorite to watch on youtube.so entertaining!!! Unobtanium!!!! Lmao!!!!
Guru racing makes sum crazy modified parts for the 500s
The Eagle knows what’s going on 🤙
@off spec The Best 👌
What did you have to do to convert to run the larger rear axle
Dam I’m late killer Kawi guys 👌🇺🇸
Is there any way purchase those graphics Ken? Or maybe with some tweaks?
Very clean. I was wondering how well the tusk wheels hold up. Have y'all ran them much?
It's an engine, not a motor,,,, just sayin,,,, that said , I love the KX500 in all it's glory ,and this is a great setup....
the bike is bad ass the only downfall i see is some of the custom made parts if ya break how hard it will to get or replace the part like the swing arm
Tooo badass
When is the auction?
Even the eagles knew thats one bad ass green machine
Brutal!✌️💪👍✌️💪
I thought I was subscribed already, no matter I’m subscribed for sure now. That KX has got to be my personal favorite. Absolutely bitchen bike.
Where can I find a NOS front mud guard and a right side rear side panel for a E series kdx 200 I'm restoring ??
I would love to see ken ride a maico 700
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do you have any silver streaks
What year kx250 rear fender did yins use and how can I modify my swingarm to use the kx450 stuff
wondering about the fender part too.
Put me on a Suzuki 😀. Baddest bikes made
How much to buy?
A decompression head on a KX? Even stock, if you fall on the kicker it fires right up..
Could Christie make some repro stock style graphics?
It's got a high compression engine
She makes ALL our repro stock style graphics
Ting ting ting
That rear fender is so much cleaner then that ugly scoop they come with
