U blip the throttle an short shift in 1st2nd3rd u don't realize ur doin 40 r 50 fast an u think ur taken it easy an jump ur fixn to hit , I never flew that high n far on my 250 wide open, , an u hear wind an see ground rushing by u know ur on a 500 2 stroke,
My first adult dirt bike was a 1986 KX500. To this day still haven’t found anything that gives you that feeling. Now riding a 2024 KX450, it’s close without the soul. Nothing is as fun as a big bore 2 stroke.
Ktm 500 4 stroke. It had so much power when I first got it that when I would be riding down a bumpy rocky trail and my throttle hand would be twitching slightly from the vibration the bike would be roving with every bump. The throttle was so touchy that i wouldn't want to ride it when tired.
82yz 490 first mx bike ... you'd better be pointing the direction you want to go when you throttle up ... cuz you ain't turnin till you hit a berm !!! Now ... '14 kx450 and '98yz 400 that I'm waiting for the call from the Smithsonian for. 😅
Your excitement is well dessert. I rode a friends yz 490 back in 1986ish. I'm 5.6 weigh 115 pounds. My KX 125 felt slow forever after. Very nice 500. Love 2 stroke. 👍
You did Good....Minute 2 you were Twisting It.. Brings Back Memories.. Add a Galfer OS front rotor with Stainles brake line....One Finger Brake - You can go as fast as you can Stop
Keep in mind those years, they were instant full power . They were tamed quite a bit as the years progressed love my 96 250 , but the2000 cr 250 is a rocket an my favorite
everyone has the same reaction to the cr500 it vibrates a lot that's how you know it's powerful you barely hit the gas and it takes off like a rocketship
You don’t sound stupid, every time I ride the 500 I yell my head off half the time. A lot of o my gods and holy shits. Only other bike that gets me yelling is those dang little 85s. Just can’t help myself there so fun.
96 Kx500 and a 24 Kx112 Is all Im going ever need! I love the feeling of going all out on a smaller trail or a homemade one my friends made in the country with us riding ktm 85,105 and my kawa 112 that i picked up the same day
C class rider? He's more like a novice rider. But at least he had lots of respect for the 500. And learn to start that beast. I had an XR600R, talk about a start procedure.
The Honda CR500 is just bad! It’s the baddest bike ever made and everybody wants one. Here’s a secret! What the factories did was make a smaller piston and less power to make them really manageable and fly. As we all no that maybe only 10 humans could ever handle a full on CR 500. Make the engine a bit smaller and that bike is incredible. Yeh, I know! Nothing like the sound of an CR 500 and it’s violent power and I agree. I raced them for two years and did very well because I’m a big guy but I hated racing them. They were way too much to handle. My sponsor made me race them. When I finished a little 8 lap race I was worn out and I was in danger good shape. Honda is sick for not creating new CR 500’s with today’s technology. There would be a 2 year waiting list. Since they don’t make them then someone should. The only ones keeping 2 strokes alive now is Yamaha, KTM and Husky. I wish they would build their bikes to outrun the 4 strokes and look so much nicer yet Yamaha is just putting plain blue on the bike and trying to make it look the worst they can and not sure why.
500 cc 2 strokes were slowly dying off in sales in the mid eighties and got worse as years went by. Same as you, power was too hard to handle and wore out riders quickly. 250's were turning faster lap times and didn't exhaust riders as fast. There's not enough interest in 500cc sales for the manufacturers to invest in. 500's these days are just novelty bikes. Ive got one and most of the time its just a conversation piece. Honda will never build another 2 stroke.
@@bmdbigfeet1031 We have to believe Honda will build another 2 stroke. They built the best 2 strokes by far with the 125 and 250 and it’s a huge shame to no longer have them. Honda is now winning again with the 4 stroke and that’s what they want people to buy but it’s still not even close to the CR250. With today’s technology the bike would be incredible. We can’t loose sight that the AMA had right allow bikes with around double the cubic inch to even compete with the 2 strokes in the early 2000’s. Part of the art of riding is constantly trying to master the 2 stroke. Well with the 4 strokes they smoothed out the ride making it easier for riders which is a good thing but they could easily do this with a 2 stroke as well but the 2 stroke will always be more violent to ride
@bmdbigfeet1031 if you crash you want the bike to shut off, 2 strokes can run away on fast idle, kaboom can happen quickly, bikes need to have a slight idle not full idle, next you do not want higher rpms right from the twist of the throttle, you will Rev to quickly if already at have a full idle 2 stroke, this is how it was in the old days when it was 2 strokes only, when 4 stroke race bikes were not even thought of, it's also a bit of a safety thing also. Hey bro do as you plz, only words from dude that has ridden many of bikes and owned a AMA sanctioned motocross track District 4 AMA, held many events on my property, shit what do I know?
Short shift it and enjoy the torque of that big 2 stroke!!

Red line it thats how you ride 2 strokes

Yep! I had the '97 CR500. Loved it! Now I ride a CRF450X. Lots of power but it aint no CR500 that's for sure.
I will never forget my first ride on my 1974 Elsinore CR125 and I said to myself how can anything be this fast.
We all made those fun happy noises our first time on a 500 2stroke😂
For me, it was a 1972 "CZ," 250 MX bike, man!
Absolutely , i know I did 96 cr 500 , omg the new ones are much tamer , those years were blam full power

I figured the guy with great beard had a grin on his face for a reason. Nice vid, looked fun, and scary, which makes it extra-fun.
man i was scared for yeah but you got the hang of it.....i need a beer now
Awesome. It gives me the feeling of riding the CR500 and how fast it is. Including catching up to the blue bike and almost crashing into it at 6:45 🙂👍

.bloody awesome ill b riding mine soon shes a 93
Cool bike! What track were you riding?
Shift the thing, and lay it into the turns ! They turn amazing and you don't rev them , you shift up when they wind up. 0-60 mph like 2 seconds ! 😅
Wow that track looks like a blast where is it?
Nice job man
It’s NHMX located in New Hampshire.
Nhmx is one of my favorite tracks in the northeast
Just sold a 99 KX500 4 months ago. Bought a gyrocopter, still flying !
Those of us who have them tend to collect them. I’ve got a 90 and 97.
I had a 1981 RM465 with drum brakes. One scary machine but lots of fun
I still have my CR 500 and 2 450's the 500 is my Faverate Bike !
What happened to….. “I’m not going to jump”. Haha
I rode 500's at 15, never can have too much power
New Guy: Brakes barely work.🫣
OG 500 Guy: What are brakes? Never touched those things...😮
Real mans kick 😅
High school days for me in Texas.
That CR would smoke those 450s..with the right pilot aboard..
Used to have a big bore RM.. NOTHING was mre fun and terrifying..than letting it rip..😄😳
Two strokes can idle , not jetted correctly

Who else wants a 500 now
They're a blast!!!
Never shifted out of 1st!😂
One of the first thing you notice is the vibration! It’s a whole different animal.
And they were smoother than the KX5
Hit the throttle and you do a wheelie, in any gear.
give it heaps
You first adult ride. Cool. Lol
What track is this?
It doesn't idle, the old two-strokes run best that way" .... Sure buddy, nice cope.
You’re right, it’s out of tune
What happened with you and Moto academy

No substitute for HORSEPOWER!!
89 was a great year!! Luke 9:62
Can we someone who is comfortable with bike ride now?😮
What track is that? It looks nice and flowy
The track is called. Race Way and its in Delaware next to the Tropical Soothie
I live in southwest Mississippi. All the tracks down here are more like supercross tracks. That one looks like a lot of fun.
Nhmx in New Hampshire
I had a 93 you haven't even got in it yet
You cant bog a 500. It doesnt like it and you will foul the plug.
You just put it in fifth and twist your wrist😅
45 minute moto on a big bore. Modern mx doesn't come close.

Bro never even hit the power band. Get in that pipe!
I don't think you've ever ridden a 500😂
@@trevorp2231 Yah I definitely never owned a 92 in 93. Plus it was a joke. Relax.
U barely barely tickled power band
That was painful to watch
old 2t's do idle lol what
Shouldn’t have a 500 that idles, you do not want them to idle
@@doublejump6578 why
