When I was a kid my dream was to have a modern dirt bike. Now my dream is to have one of these...
Juv-Husky I like the 82 better than the 83
Isn’t that weird how that happens?
Juv-Husky same thing then, these were the modern bikes when we were kids
Juvktm Enduro & Trials Israel I’m 18 (considered a kid to u folks) but I only own vintage bikes
@@georgemichael6922 I have a 83 and I do love the 82 great looking bike my dad owned one , my sister was born in 82 and she's sitting on it in a photo 😊
We always remember the first ride on a big bore two stoke, I Was 13 and my feet couldn't touch the ground when sitting on the seat, so much fun,these bikes bring back the kid in all of us.
Cleanest 480r in existence
Back in the day if someone showed up in the woods with a 500 he was the king. If someone showed up with a 480 he was the king with the golden staff.
What a beautiful machine this one is.
So true!!
I just love the looks of the early 80s air cooled monoshock bikes....bare bones ,utilitarian machines. .....fucking awesome
I just scored an 82 480r engine.. It's going in an 83 ATC 250R frame... I can't wait to get it running!
make a video you lucky sucker lol
@@867diesel the build has just begun! Maybe I'll post something this weekend on my channel about it!
@@theericbenson1692 dude that's going to be one wild ride lol I want to put a cr500 motor on a trx250r frame for xc racing lol
@Ron McCaffrey I'm just getting all my parts together. I'm a journeyman machinist and a pretty good fabricator. So it should be pretty fun to do! I can't wait to ride the beast!
Very powerful. Cr480. Becareful. The 3 wheelers are very roll-over material. Take your time to adjust. To. Double the power
That’s Honda baby I just scored an 83 cr480r the best model year for that bike
Had an 81’ CR250, 83’ CR480, 85’ CR500, 85’ RM500, and I loved the 480 the most! The raw torque of low and mid on the 480 was just dreamy! God I miss that bike! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍿🍿😎👍
The 85 had the most torque-hp out of all the 500 lineup. Maybe the 480 felt more usable power band?
@@Daniel456324 No question the 85’ had ultimately more hp, and the motor didn’t fall on its face at the top like the 480 did. But from the bottom well into the mid was unparalleled in the 480 imo! I absolutely loved that. To compensate for that face-plant power curve you just stayed in higher gears ... all the time! I could cruise at 15 mph in 4th and only had to twist the throttle to get over or around anything w only one shift left to go for warp speed! 👍😃😎🇺🇸
I have a childhood full of stories about one like it. Awesome and some free advice give this girl respect. Would love to have one again
I have an 82 CR480 all original. I was going to sell it, but now I want to keep it. That bike looks awesome!
Don't EVER sell it! You'll never be able to replace it when sellers remorse sets in. Been there,done that!
Lucky!
I have a 1983 cr480 and a 1983 cr250 and and a 1989 cr125 and a Honda XL100
@@a12neat9 And my son LOVES Patrick from Spongebob lol😂😂😂
KX500Maniac thank you lol
love these old pingers reminds me of my 84 yz 490 i use to have when i was a kid
I wish you guys were down the road from me.
This jewel would be sitting in my garage!
I'd go broke if these guys were down the street from me.......
The sound of a 2 stroke motor is so pleasant to hear. So much memories with my Aprilia RC 250
only reason i didnt buy this bike vs the 1983 yz 490 was because of the kick starter on the left side
What an amazing example 1981 to 1989 was the best period for looks of not only CR'S all motocross models. Today's bike might be lighter and handle better but they don't have the style of these beautiful ERA Classics.
These bikes where full race spec back then they had magnesium parts In them to save weight and for a 50hp bike at 220lbs they did just that. For 1982-83 these where rockets heck there still pretty quick even now. And this is a pristine example of one to. Great job who ever restored it 👍🏽
I gotta say kap... You have got the most beautiful dirt bikes in your collection.
This 82 is so nice I'd probably never dirt it
Right on!
Love all the Honda 500's that's where my heart is. But any 500 2 stroke. even the quad's
This is what I learned to ride on back in the day. It started my lifelong obsession with big bore 2 strokes. Owned a few 80's 500's too. Wish I still h ad em. Love your channel guys, keep up the great work.
almost every dirtbike ive owned were hondas.
love the 92-96 cr250's.
mcgrath era.
My favorite quote in this video “ what do you think karl” well i love it!!!!!! You should keep this badass beauty its stunning👍👍👍
I "Motard" a KX500 years ago. Just ridiculous on the street.
Brings me back to childhood. Badass gorgeous bike. Shows you just how long a bike can serve you, if you take good care of it, which I've always done with my bikes. I just wish that I knew how to work on them. Enjoy your weekend at JDay Brother. Have fun and be safe.
Can’t wait to see Ken on a KTM 495, he makes open class bikes look like 80’s LOL. Love your guys vids, thanks,Bill
My uncle had a 83 cr 480 when i was 11 or 12 years old. I rode it all the time then one day it rode me will never forget. I remember telling him it flipped backwards with me all by itself. Looking back i guess it kind of did lol.
You could "mess up" and still get the hole shot on this bike. I know. I did it many times. You could still get the hole shot today against modern bikes. The engine was magnificent.
Who remembers the wellie contest on the tv show that's incredible.
I owned a 1983 I put a New DG pipe on mine. I also had it bored out and I personally rebuilt the engine. New wiesco piston and rings. Boysen reed valve’s. It was a beast. I would love to have it back.
What an awesome job you guys have done up there! I have to come visit.
Damn. I’ve always wondered what one of these felt like. You just show how easily the tire wanted to reach for the stars.
Love 2 strokes..had an old PE 175 that went like a bat out of hell
Throughout the years Honda has had several things printed on their seats. In most cases it's some form of the car logo. But I think the displacement size that was on the 81 and 82 was by far the best looking logo I've always loved that displacement logo. So cool looking I had the 82 cr 80
I love your vids,the sound of that air cooled pinger reminded me of my old Kx250 A5...wish I’d have kept that ! All the best from the UK
Friend of mine had one of these it was hell to start but once you got it started it was a badass bike to ride!
Bloody hell that is a beast. Looks and sounds awsome ! Pulls like a train !!!!
Somebody bought that and it scared the shit out of them so they stuck it in a barn you have a great eye for bikes man 👍 Carl's right it's gorgeous
Had the same bike in the early 90s....i miss old betzy...beautiful bike
Love your commentary with the ride along! Freakin mint!
You’re a gun bro your love for bikes is very encouraging keep up the good work
I had one of these when I was younger left side kick lol what a beast wish I kept my old bikes can’t barely find these now
She looks and sounds beautiful, Ken! Wow! The new owner of this beauty will be one super-lucky person! "Yeah, you don't get the hole shot on this thing, you messed up!" :-)
I'm jealous and I have a yz250x. Lucky you Ken. Can't wait to visit.
I definitely like the effort you guys have been doing with the microphones the last few months. Makes everything so much more enjoyable. Oh and that 480 is sweet man. Kaplan Cycles for life!
Thanks for the support! Having a lot of fun producing these videos. Going to be a great year
@@KaplanCycles You're welcome man. I can't wait for my first trip out there this year. Hopefully I bring a few with me. By the way, that ZXR1100 is all you. I don't think its too much bike for you!
Z17xMachine Let us know when you plan to come down! The ZXR is a classy machine- I wish it was a bit warmer, we would have sent it down the highway for the demo vid. One of my good friends from NY that collects vintage Kawi sport bikes is eyeing that one up
Biggest bike I ever personally owned was a CR 250. Neighbor had a YZ 490. That thing scared the shit outta me.
Rode one when i was 13 scared the shit out of me and made deep ruts plus we took it to a quarry in Westfield mass to hillclimb it.
Nice! Watch out for that front brake... it was a little touchy, I remember.
you have some beautiful bike wish i could ride half of them keep up the good work👍
That bike is nice!!!
it’s well-known that these bikes will run forever withi just normal maintenance!
THAT BIKE IS ALL FUN!
That would be a beast worth adding to the collection . = )
Ken I can’t stop watching this!!! On average couple of times a week at least. I had one when I was 14 yrs old then sold it 11 years later . You know the story Marriage & Mortgage 😔
Back when a open class bike was built to be as bad ass as could be...love that sharp rake on the front end too..bet it would be a great bike on the trails...
Thanks for the thrill ride that's a ripper for sure
3:52 that lovely sound :)
What a beauty! Love it! 👍
I have a Polaris rzr 1000 and a Polaris Ranger and a klx110 and a 2020 Crf110f but my fav one is my 82 cr480
Thats the equivalent of riding a desert eagle
.50
That's the truth
Good way to put it
I bought one brand new from dealer stock $2500 years ago Awsome bike
One gorgeous and Badass vintage MX Bike. I've noticed many Beautiful Bikes in your videos that you got from your buddy, Pete Bacarosa. I love his website for all of the bikes that he sells. 😎
Pete is the best!
Wishing I would of kept my 86 cr 500. I'm just 5' 7" and 170lbs so it was a lot of bike but lots of fun. I had lots of people wanting to ride it I would tell them if you can start it, very few could do that lol.
Cool location for your shop. Scary bike too : D
That sound !! Wow !! Amazing condition. Showroom. Are the fenders New or restored ?
the Original LEG breakers. raced rebuilt and owned many of them. Honda always did make great, big bore bikes.
Fuggin sickest 480 ever ,I want it.👽it's out of this world.
I bought an 83 480..the seat was blue an it just said cr..went up the tank a lttle bit..was a great bike✌️🇺🇲🇬🇧😎
Absolutely gorgeous! What a bike!!!
Wow that's what I'm talking about! Absolutely amazing! 👍 braaaaaaap!
I lov that bike I just sold my 1982 cr480r well I traded it for a 2002 kx65 for my son I kinda regret it but it got my son a bike I ride a crf450r and I have to say u must be a big dude to kick that thing so ez I hated how its kicker was on the left I love n.e.m.m God bless everyone of u guys and gals there u make my day I wish I didn't liv so far away I would lov to come meet u guys!
That thing is the Barrett 50 of dirt bikes!
Hint: Kick it over with your right foot before you board when it's cold.
I loved this bike and would like to get another one. It's a very balanced bike but it was a bit heavy feeling when landing a good jump.
I miss the 80s . ive raced my 1986 honda trx250r since 2001 . long live 2 strokes !!!!!
Don’t know if you’ll see this I owned that same bike guy bought it new looped it parked it for thirty years then I bought it so mint original as it gets
never leave the choke on after you start a 2 stroke you'll foul the plug faster than you think
Anonymous420 oh ya ya what bike do u have
Kaplan motor sports, where do you order from for older bikes or most of your bikes in general, older ones specifically
Great job guys.
Wow, that bike is a beauty.
That is a bike I'd love to own great video boys is that ice ye're driving on??
what a beautiful bike- maybe not the best time for testride !? ;-() - great work!
WOW, what a bike, awesome beautiful.
Had the same bike rode the wheels off it stone reliable.
She's a thing of beauty!
I love my 82 cr480 really fun bike to ride
Just my opinion but I think the original Honda wing would look better than the red white and blue wing. Just something small but it really stands out for me
I thought its your summer up there right now? its been a nice early spring week down herein Australia
I bought one new in 82 & 83 and raced them in district 34
Looks like new, wow 👍🏼
Absolutely luv it!
why this bike kickstart on left side ?
evil machine. I had one here in the uk awesome
i had a 1990 cr500, traded it off for a plated kdx250, its nice to have the road legal 250 but sometimes...
Is the fork bent or is it the angle of thr camera
@ 6:33 The 82 model was the first year of the 480s not one of the last years of it.
Àwsome Vid guys. Big fan from nz. Subscribed. Big 2 stroke fan. God bless the allies
Growing up my dad and I rode dirt bikes on our ranch, my dad had the same bike when I was 11, that's the first bike I learned on with that amount of power. Goofy bike but a powerhouse
That's one beautiful bike
Wasn't that Honda's second year for a production open class bike? The 81 was a 450 wasn't it ? Then it remained a 480 until 85 or 86 then it was a 500 correct?
Anything good about a 79 kdx 400
Things a bute I’ve always wanted a 2020 bike but know I want this bike looks sweet
Damn Ken. That is one gorgeous 480r Honda. I'll bet that things got the torque of a locomotive. You sure get some bad ass bikes in there I'll tell you that much. Quick question to you Ken. Do you sell t-shirts in your museum it's you can ship to people that might like to have one if you do and you have one that says Ken kaplan's New England motorcycle museum and perhaps has a picture of your museum on the front of the shirt that would be badass I would love to have one I collect t-shirts and you know I can always use my credit card to pay for it or something like that. If you do that then I would sure love to get one from you. Take care!
We're working on it now my friend
What a beauty!
How much will you ask for this
