Love watching this video brought back so many memories. I had that exact same bike in 1979 ! I raced amateur AMA motocross out on Long Island and just spent every moment I had riding that bike. I even went to watch the pros at Unadilla in 1980 and still have the program with the Can Am MX 5 250 on cover. I got it autographed from many of the stars including Bob Hannah and Roger DeCoster.
You think Can- AM you immediately think of Jimmy Ellis. Often wondered what the Powerband on one of these machines felt like. Controllable or an Armpump Cowboy?. Regardless, I do know they were Fast. Great post. Vintage is so Awesome,the racing is great,people greater.
@@Fogman5678 The power bands are almost electric feeling - smooth and linear through the RPMs. It makes you feel like you’re riding slow when you’re really not!
