Can't say enough how much I appreciate the hill climb coverage. Thanks Team Kaplan but also all the riders who take the time to show us the bikes and talk. This is great content and hopefully will grow this.
That CB was so familiar sounding. My buddy had one he had bored out to 900cc. Use to barely be able to out run him with my KZ900. Also that wonderful HB810 needs a steeper hill. Two-strokes forever!
Hillclimbing was the original form of motorcycle racing. Did a lot of it as a kid. Of course there were not long swing arms back then but my Tiger Cub was pretty good. Coming back down the hill was the hardest part. Friend bought an H2 we all rode it , it went over backwards on several including me.
Ye-e-ears and years ago (late '70's I think) I saw a hillclimb where Canadian John Williams rode his Honda 500 on open pipes and fuel and the sound just blew my mind, first time hearing something bigger than a model ariplane engine running on nitromethane - YIKES. But at that event, the fastest bike up the hill by a long shot was an XR-750 HD that just rumbled and seemed to hook up all the way, he crested the hill just flying.
The guy on the XR750 is built for the hill climb, He's got his belly working for him, you have to throw all your weight forward when you start to climb so when you get close to the top the bike won't come out from under you. You can tell he's done this a time or two.
I don't think riding a 125 is a disadvantage. I have owned everything from 100 cc Harley Bajas to KX 500s. Dont think i ever rode anything faster, than i did my little RMs and KX 125s. Now pushing 80 years old and still have a YZ and a XT 500 ready to go.😊
Exactly........I loved that XR750......but couldn't help rooting for the H2. I had the 550 triple as a young man..... fastest stoplight to stoplight ever. 😁
Hey CAP brother is there a way I can contact you direct I’d like to send you some pics brother 🤘 eventually il get over there but In meantime that would be great .
Just lose some weight and you'll cut time out of your record. People just add CC's thinking it will just replace the skills and weight you carry. Just think of a whale riding a dirt bike, what about the balance, body movement and so many other details. Seriously America wtf!?

The H2 & XR just flat Smoked that Hill!💪🤘🏼

H2 810 is the boss
The H2 750 was the best hill climber .

Tack!
HY , the Harley Davidson hammered it up!!!
H2 all day long I do miss mine all of them...
That place was packed!!
You must've sponsored that H2 my original kx500 rear fender. 😁
Lol
The H2 all day!

Someone should acknowledge that amongst all those massive powered bikes, and old 250 conquered the hill pretty easily.
crazy bikes love it !
LOOKS LIKE ALOT OF FUN! 👍
249: the man needs another 50 HP to pull that load
I'm glad someone else started this conversation.
He really needs to go to a different motorsport.
CB750 sounded wicked! 2nd jump got him. That looks like the hardest part. To try not to lose any speed over it and send it into the next county!
Too heavy for hill climbing but a good street bike.
I'll give the HD the Best of Show award. Even though my H2 used to regularly try to kill me I do miss it.
Mike’s a savage!!
thats good , that triple 810 and the harley are the boys;;
great effort on the witch what a nice guy aswell
Brilliant excellent content
Mike's gear shift lever is interesting, one and done.
Old flat tracker transmission......it probably only had third gear.
@@robertfoote3255 Yep third it was
The Harley was just plain awesome and sounded great
Suena a lata vieja
Super cool !!!
That’s a big boy on that orange bike with the silver tank.
yeah poor little thing had no hope.
Kicking ### and taking names!
Mike sent it! Man I hope I’m ripping like that at 60+
Man that first guy held on to it he would have had that thing nailed down six days to Sunday 👍
Another sweeeet video!!😊
Think I just figured out what ima do to with my old pe 250 lmao
At 2:50, that little Honda shouldn't have even tried😂
This is great stuff! I'm sure the xr was faster, but the sound of that old triple...

H2 750 😮💚💚💚
Nice 🙋💪👍😁
Can't you guys use the hole shot device on the front forks?
Xr ftw everytime 🚀
Very cool
Thanks Kap. Them bikes are badass! Cake eaters are bad ass too.
Gotta kz1000 xr being built ✌️
That CB750 was the best sounding, too bad he dumped it on the jump!
Mantaf 🙋👍
That hill looks pretty easy.
0:40 why the covered spokes?
2:50
I was expecting him to pin it after the first jump….😊
He did
Sounded like it wouldn't climb a anthill .
Looks like the Wichita witch ran out of fun before the run began
Why someone participate with a motorbike which is not working well ? Makes no sense .
He could identify as a woman and run the girl class😮
Hell yeah!
H2 810 kick ass
Respect
Pies at the top
Tinha um ali muito pesado pra moto!
Dammn was that h2 bord out to 810cc must be a very special engine
Great video man!!!
Vesva ok???
Laconia nh? Lets go
FF shoulda had another pizza before the try!.....lol
the Honda MT250 showed us what shes got. Nothing. But at least genuine
How about a kawasaki h2r.
When I was young in the mid to late 60s my dad was into hill climbing and there was no jumps on the hill. I think the jumps are uncalled for
Lol...why don't they stick a V8 in them..just cut to the chase lol..if it's more power they want it's in that forsure...
Bonjour,👌💪🏻🙏🇺🇸HD🦾

‘Just’ like just look around and see how many people struggle with weight gain.
