widowmakers...
So another worthwhile project hits the screen. No less the beast, a 'Man bike', Cancelled in the name of safety, What ever you want to call it. This is the last un-restricted crazy idea from Honda to produce a bike you simply can't use to it's full potential. Dull 4 stroke restricted racing still sees the CR500 2 stroke competing and winning in many unrestricted races after 30+ years of so-called- development. I want one. I want it in a glass case just to know I have something that belongs to another age.
Lets see if it is up to the hype..

I am seriously impressed. I’ve owned lot of bikes and done tons of work to them but nothing like this! It warmed my heart watching the original labels being applied, as if this neglected motorcycle was being reborn into the beautiful motorcycle it once was and still deserves to be. As a motorcycle enthusiast, thank you for sharing your incredible work with us, and for preserving such an iconic machine. Cheers from Michigan USA!
You are most welcome! Thank you 🙏
that was beautiful
The widow maker in all her 1987 glory, what an absolutely beautiful restoration
Thank you 🙏
@@MyRestoration1 thank you for all the hard work! She’s beautiful
That's quite a wide skillset required to get it that good. I like that you go to lengths to try to reuse what can be reused.
An astounding restoration. It’s been a pleasure watching it all come together. Extremely gratifying I’m sure but totally understandable why you’d never want to do it again.
Your one of the few that truly restores. You don't farm the project out and have excellent skills. Well done!
Thank you. Keeps me trying. Appreciated!
The most beautiful off road motorcycle ever made
I agree. It is pure function. No frills. That is something we don’t see anymore
One of for Sure 🦾🏁
Wow! I had an ‘84 XR500RE and loved those old Honda’s to bits. Incredible quality work, bravo!
Stunning, a craftsman at work . Such an iconic bike .
What I love about this channel is the fact we all make mistakes and rob is the first to admit it that makes this channel the best restoration channel because we all don’t feel beliited and the attention to detail is something special
Lovely to see the sellers reaction mind blowing merry Christmas
Excellent video. 1980s best decade for motocross bikes.
Finally someone with my attention to detail! I done a yz125 1989. After I finished i just couldn’t ride it. Paid 300 for it! 2years getting parts all around the world for it. Then 1 year building it in spare time. Then sold it 4500. I also got the safety stickers made. Well done be proud of it! I brought a brand new tc125 and now rag hell out of it and dont care about the bike. They guy who brought mine said he wanted it for his man cave and its never to be ridden! So somewhere in england there is a yz125 1989 that completely restored back to original show room condition sitting in a man cave resting! I loved that bike but loved it so much I couldn’t ride it! I said il never restore another bike. Ive probably dont at least 5 different bikes after that but customers bikes not my personal bikes
Nice to see original Honda parts restored, Hondas don't like being upgraded. Sweet bike.
Thanks for an amazing restoration video, it brought back many fond memories watching you restore it as I brought my CR500 RH brand new in Australia for $4,600.00 and rebuilt it from frame up 3x times! over the many years of ownership I even drag raced it and it did the Quarter in 13.2 seconds stock!! it was an Animal to ride and anyone who was behind on the track's used to keep there head down if they seen me twist on the throttle!!
That’s funny 😆 I watch Kaplan America rip up some turf when I need a boost! Thanks for your comments mate
Crazy build, you should be proud of yourself, I give you a 10/10 ❤
I literally said 'oooh yeah' out loud when you showed that shiny blue suspension! 😂
The best restoration channel by a long way
Ur definition of restoring makes me feel good inside. I enjoyed every minute of this video. Thanks
Bike is mint. Bravo.🎉 . The off idle pulses get yout hands sweaty, but hyped up. Good job. 🤠👍
To say I am speechless is an understatement. You sir are nothing short of a master restorer. I always wonder how much work people like you had to do on bikes to garner such skills. I just received my 1981 Honda CR 250R in the USA my father bought for me in South Africa as a schoolboy in 1982. It has sat inside our farmhouse since I left South Africa in 1988. It is 100% original and after draining oil , coolant and cleaning carb and putting a new plug and filter it kicked over on the second kick having sat unridden for over 30 years . There is nothing like those old bikes . Thank you for taking us along on the journey . I bet the first ride was exhilarating like only a 500 can give you . 👌👌
Wow, not just a parts changer but true restoration, much respect fine sir.
Fantastic transformation of an iconic motorcycle. What a job you have done on her. Your channel is one of the best on RUclips and your resto job on the vfr 800fi was also equally as impressive. Fantastic work. Best wishes for the new year and all the best.
Impressive work! Very nice attention to details. Well done :)
Finally!!! A PROPER restoration, not just people with excess cash throwing big money with bags of NOS parts at a project. Taking the time to find, repair, restore and revive old, existing parts, creating the unobtainium bits from scratch and fabricating a piece of history for the rest of us to behold. Congratulations on such a job well done.
You get it! Your channel looks up my street. I’ll be dining on your projects too. 👍
@@MyRestoration1 Yes sir!!! We are definitely cut from the same cloth - I only wish I could spend more time doing these restorations. It's a part-time gig for me but I just love taking the time. The end result is so worth it. Cheers - K.
Well done! Now on to the Norton!
Absolutely impressed! Down to the factory warning labels and decals! Bravo!
Absolutely phenomenal restoration! Enjoyed watching your craftsmanship
Thank you Vold
Beautiful job, I restored a 1981 Yamaha YZ 465H2 stroke back to original and that thing was fast but nothing is as vicious as a CR 500 great job
Amazing and incredible resto, truly always satisfying to bring back a bike to its original glory.
You sir are a maestro. Couldn't believe you did it all yourself...well done 10/10 from Texas USA
Thank you sir!
Great job. I had a friend who's uncle was a pro and he ride a CR 480 and then bought one of these and man talk about game changer. Excellent job on the restoration.
Thanks Darrell. I must say up until now I have not ridden the bike other than in the video you saw. Let’s see if you a right. I have no doubt you are!
Now, that is what I call a true restoration. Not like some other restorations that is almost perfect but only ruined by replacing the original rims with ugly black rims. Congratulations on a job well done.
This is amazing! True talent and craftsmanship! You can be proud!!!
BEAST !! love it :) Ive spent a lovely Sunday morning watching this and the Le Mans rebuilds and now have face ache from smiling for an hour - top job !
That’s so cool! Thank you
The factory would be proud of this restoration… renewing a classic for all time 👍🏼
Extremely well done on an iconic bike
Fantastic, restoration well done for saving it.
I admire your patience I would have never been able to have the patience to restore a bike like you did but you did save a lot of money by hand fabricating
Yes I did have a bunch but I was still surprised at the final spend. More then I expected..There was very little on that frame to work with unfortunately. Rookie lesson.
Ah, the widowmaker. Absolutely beautiful work in bringing her back to life. Red Bull team member, Aaron Colton, rightly said of the CR500, "Honda produced the bike to humble anyone who thought they were tough." What a terrifying machine!
Motor mount you manufactured looks gorgeous,great work.
Amazing video mate well done ❤❤
I love watching you work and the bike is awesome and amazing
Best restoration I’ve seen
Brilliant - really enjoyed watching this, thanks.
Super impressive!!! So cool that you made it all stock again! Merry Christmas from California!
Thanks! You too!
You’ve realised a long time dream of mine. Thanks for sharing. It’s a beauty.
SMILE . Great build . I rode one of those beast back in the day. If i would of seen what was coming i would of bought all the used ones up.
That is the best restoration I have seen. I subscribed straight away.
You did such a fantastic job! I’ve restored several bikes in my day (current one is a ‘71 Kawasaki F8 Bison disaster) and I’m very impressed!
that was so much work..... but what a result
Thank you so much for uploading this vid, I thoroughly enjoyed it, well done on the work you did 👍🏻
My pleasure
Now a thing of BEAUTY.❤
Upgraded to a 87 CR-500 from my older 83CR480 race bike .
Thought that if the 87 had the same slim ergonomic fit that the 480 had along with a OHLINS rear shock on it
It would've a much better bike.
Great restoration job 👍
My mind has just been blown!! You are seriously skilled!!! What a beautiful bike.
This must be hands down one of the only CR500's left on the planet that is in near new condition. Seriously it should be in a museum it's too nice and rare to be ridden about. Just wow amazing job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏
If someone else is reading this and knows of another mint 87 please share!
WOW, amazing skills rightfully proud of your work. Fantastic job well done.
What a great restoration! I did something similar with a SWM 125 but not nearly as well as you, and I had way more help. A lot of setbacks and I think I made a loss of at least € 3,000 (if I were to sell the bike, which I will not). But I got at least € 10,000 back in fun, experience and meeting good people! Wish I could have made a great video like yours. Congratulations on a great job.
You did a perfect job, very satisfying to watch.
Greetings from Germany
COMPLIMENTI , SEI UN GRANDE , HAI DATO NUOVA VITA A UN'ICONA
Very beautiful restoration, very beautiful bike!!
Stellar work. Absolutely fantastic job!!
The only thing you should change about this video is where you said, "i think we did it.. No, you 100% did it, and holy shit did you do it. From what this started out as to what it ended up is right up there with the best restorations I've seen on RUclips and trust me I've seen alot. Absolutely brilliant 👏
Top man thank you buddy
What a transformation bike looks amazing great job
This is so outrageously good. Good on ya mate.
Looks amazing, you’ve got some talent!
Good job!!! thanks for sharing!
Stunning! I mean just an outstanding build. I live near the Mojave desert and owned a 1986 CR 500 and it made my eyeballs bleed. Even in the Mojave desert, there are very few people who could ride this machine to its potential. With a resto this nice it would be a shame to rail it in the dirt. It's a museum piece now.
I would agree will everything you are saying here Steve thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed this video and it gave me motivation to get back to work on my old honda build. Thanks for the video, its amazing!
You can do it!
Absolutely amazing job of an iconic motocross bike
