There's something about ungodly horsepower that will turn grown men into crazy kids. Love it, it looks like so much fun. Ken I'll tell you I have nothing but a grin from ear to ear.
Badass Cart! Dad and I were gonna buy a racing 2 stroke cart many years ago. The only reason why we didn't is that there were no places to ride around us. Thanks for the great video Ken. God Bless Kaplan America, and the Beautiful US of A!
You keep thinking that go ahead make it to person one I'll take the bossman for a ride please stop texting me everybody knows how I get down this thing is sick it's just wants me begs me to won't leave me alone until I started up and rip it you know you want some whiskey throttle balzout banging the man no balls balls to the wall
Kaplan really you seem to be surprised like its your first time . But thats acceptable as your not from the racing capital of the world were i grew up called indy ...we here race ever thing ..we even race bar stools powered up with real small block chevys under them ...(what goes on in indy stays in indy) . Shifter karts. Have been around for well over 25 years . The CR125R shifter karts will do over a 100 as it better or you aint even in the hunt . But be in grown up as a hoosier hillbilly ..go karts dont handle a fresh plowed field under hot pursuit like an 850 hp modified late model small block dale earnhardt signature series on VP methanol will ...but you known when you think your hot shit on top the food chain there is always some one out of left field who can throw a curve ball that you cant see comin . Once upon a time a bunch of them northern boys who only race asphalt came down to Paragon a dirt track for modified late models and outlaw sprints were guys like steve kinser sammy swindell and tony stewart got there start up in outlaw sprints ...and we were haven a hoot as these northern boys didnt even know how to turn left on dirt without crashin or spinin out eazy pickens right ? But way WRONG . So it was this old rusted out school bus that that had the words painted on the side with a paint brush hee haw style that said hoosier tires . Wtf we never heard of them as it was there first week in business and their first race they had ever gone to ...all of a sudden them northern boys are mounting up them thar hoosier hillbilly tires that we had never heard of before ...and then to rub salt into our wounds them northern boys began putting down record breaking times for modified late models and only a couple seconds under steve kinser's lap times in an outlaw sprint and then 20 minutes later all teams of modified late model and outlaw sprint are mount up all the hoosier tires the old boy could stuff in his rusted out school buss as before we could barely get it all figured out Hoosier tires were all sold out on their first time selling tires. You ever get ,,that dull full feeling deep in your guts that tells you just fuck up big time...and the rest is history as you already know about the difference Hoosier tires can make
We will see what it does in Pennsylvania wings this year.... but I don't think it has the billet cr500 engine it has that I'm gonna have to race it with this year ...I will see when I pick it up
Our 1000cc Micro Mini Sprint cars are similar to that.... but we have suspension to retain traction on the dirt. That kart would do really well on asphalt with slicks I'd bet. Would love to see it wide open on a paved oval track.
Outlaw Karts the beginners but not novice sprint car start up for dirt cup racing . The Hp to weight ratio is the highest on four wheels affordable to the average adrenaline junkies . Just remember to circle left and steer hard over right WOT , wing forward down the straight wing and back it in to the corner . Way cool
That is badass haha. You need a little oval dirt track out back with a few of these for people to come race around and check the museum out at the same visit. Draw in people in a new crazy way haha
“Too much fun, that's news to me Too much fun, there must be A whole lotta things that I never done But I ain't never had too much fun” Every time I see you gear heads going wacko I think of Commander Cody’s tune Too Much Fun. Nobody should be having that much fun; thinking I hosed-up somewhere along the way.... Thanks for sharing the living the dream dream!!! 🍻.
That looks like a whole lot of fun but Kenny if you get a chance check out the outlaw version of that there are a couple thousand horsepower running on alcohol
Omg I love it Brothers I could only imagine the power of that 500 I had the opportunity to ride a 250R on a go-kart frame that was amazing on a Old Country dirt road 💪🤜🤛💪
Now ya need an oval track on the property!!!!! .....Add a bunch of speedway/dirt track bikes to the collection while you're at it. You gotta find something that'll hang on the speedway with that one! 😁
That's to funny the son comes back and says it wheeleys!! He don't pay much attention to him saying Rev it up goes in the street the dad oh shit!!!! It wheeleys!!! lol best video today hell yea get it !! THAT WOULD BE SO FUN TO DRIVE I WONT 1 !!
I went to school with Taylor and i race these karts in North Carolina they're violently fast and fun drive!!!! Outlaw opens at millbridge look it up :P
We got 5th pa-wings open outlaw class .. first race just getting the kart setup nice 💪🤠🚀 it still wheelies even with the wizard tune next race middle road Speedway pa- wings
There are several. It's incredibly popular in various regions. Look up outlaw karting . There are several east coast and midwest organizers,and tracks, Pa,ohio,wis,ia,sc,nc, etc etc but the bulk of it is California based and northwest coast states. Really Fun stuff.
Outlaw karts.. there are two classes open and intermediate , I will never race any thing other ... Super safe , most power to weight fun ever we race them all over Pennsylvania .
They are all top end,9000 rpm. No bottom/mid.lol Most dont run full trans,only 4th gear. That engine I remember has a full trans though. Would be wild as a hill climber ,sand/drag bike, but I do think you miss the lack of any bottom.to mid. Think lifhtswitch, old tm400 on steroids ;) AJ
Kaplan can I box up the motor for my service 500 and send it to yall? I'd like to have it gone through if available bullet cases and lectron carb? Well go all in on it.
These engines /karts have special.pipes piston port timing etc that would be fundamentally useless in a dirt bike application unless you just want to go wfo straight. Typically they turn about 9000 rpm and only make power up top. For an outlaw kart on a banked dirt oval,chassis set up.only left, using only 4th gear and going wfo the entire lap,in every heat and main.its a good setup :) Not so good for a dirt bike. Most dont have conplete trans,just 4th gear. This one, does have a full trans though. So who knows,maybe it will end up in a bike. Lol
Bad news fellas but no surprise it only pulled 75 at the crank and 65 at the rear wheel on the dyno. Still 5hp than our best CR500R BUT WAY short of the advertised 100 HP By the seller, no surprises we new that was optimistic.
@@KaplanCycles heck yah. Love to see it. But I wish they would've advertised the right hp. Either way this is gonna be an awesome build. Also thank you for the update.
There's something about ungodly horsepower that will turn grown men into crazy kids. Love it, it looks like so much fun. Ken I'll tell you I have nothing but a grin from ear to ear.
From experience with outlaw karts they turn crazy kids into insane ones
So much power! So cool to see. Great find
Says "This is dangerous" with happiness in his voice and a smile on his face!
The way it should be
Holy crap! That is really cool, sound awsome! 100 hp cr500 is a monster, I hope we never run out of cr500 engines

Someone was finally able to scare the boss, that don’t happen to often lol!
What obout the 800 hp Guys . ?. ......keep near the Same wihtout 7 zylinder in play ?
IF YOU CANT DOEING IT ON A CR , YOU CANT DOEING IT ONE ANOTHER BIKE 1986 ,,,!

You should see 8 or 10 of them on a quarter mile dirt oval, it's spectacular, it's no rookies racing them it's the vets, they put on a show for sure.👍
Yes a heat or main with a pack of them wide open is awesome to watch.
We will see what it does in Pennsylvania wings this year.... but I don't think it has the billet cr500 engine it has that I'm gonna have to race it with this year ...I will see when I pick it up
@@cupwalker24.7 Congrats On Buying It! Have you been able to clock the top speed on it yet, since you've bought it?

The size of that exhaust! And the fact it wheelies! What a machine 🔥
OMFG!!! 😱🤯🚨🤩🥳 I can’t believe I missed this a week ago! I pretty much can’t live without that thing!!! I just shed 20 yrs off my old age!! 👍🤩

Mario is such a bad ass!!..he's a perfect fit for Kaplan cycles..that thing is death on wheels..good job wild man!!
I always hated seeing Dirtbike motors going into shifter carts until I saw this video that looks like a blast
Fantastic content as always with you guys, there’s just no end to these powerband videos!!.
Wheelies, and the road is wet. That is insane!
Wow that looks like so much fun my face hurts from smiling watching him ride it I can’t imagine how much fun that would be
It is
Need a giant empty warehouse drifty floor for this beast
Absolutely!
Indy got one thats a three level track that is a old park and pay storage garage downtown with drive up ramps connecting all three floors
By far such a badass shifter cart Sr you guys never fail to amaze me over there
Lol that first wheelie when he gets on the road is awesome🤣🤣🤣🤣
If there were ever a channel to see this on.....it's here👍🇺🇸 CR500 anything and EVERYTHING!!!😎
That is badass haha. You need a little oval dirt track out back with a few of these for people to come race around and check the museum out at the same visit. Draw in people in a new crazy way haha
Go cart!!!??? No boys you got a micro sprint car!
I knew a guy that had a mini sprint with a 900 ninja motor in it. It would haul the mail🤣. Cool cart fellas.
That's what I said they don't realize they got a micro sprint car
It's an outlaw kart,really becoming popular
"Oh shit !" Hahaha this thing is badass
That thing is insane. Love it.
“Too much fun, that's news to me
Too much fun, there must be
A whole lotta things that I never done
But I ain't never had too much fun”

Great video! That looks so fun! You're a lucky man Kaplan! God Bless!
That kart is just plain badass. What a blast!

Good company, Stoggie in hands, and 2 Strokes. Few things better in the world than that.
As we used to say in the old days, “ radical.”
“Honey !?....I sold the z-mower...but wait till you see what I bought !!! We won’t need to mow the lawn ever again !!!”
Very cool - looking forward to some dry pavement testing!
He is living life testing those bikes

Ωραίο βίντεο
Had a chance to drive one of these outlaw karts. Absolutely insane on a dirt track.
That thing is a certified RIPPA!!!! WOW
You guys have the best job in the universe!
This one of my fav videos the energy is of the hook ! And that for a monday
Ha! Be safe!! Cr 500R!! Loving it!!
I went to school with Taylor and i race these karts in North Carolina they're violently fast and fun drive!!!! Outlaw opens at millbridge look it up :P
It's built to turn left
Carfeul now, that sucker is a 12'O'clock flippa !!
That looks like waaaay too much fun to be legal

A frigging death ☠️ trap ✌️😹😹
Got yourself a Mini Sprint!!!!!get some grape Royal Purple race fuel!!!
How is the storm up your way?
Division 1 SuperKarts uses custom built 250 twins. Looks em up. They pump out over 100hp and race on car circuits. The speed is ridiculous
Man I wish these were popular in New England. I would love to get into racing em on flat track under the lights.
Clearly clickbait but idc cause this channel is great
What a find. What is the sanctioning body that runs these?
There are several.
It's incredibly popular in various regions.
Look up outlaw karting .
There are several east coast and midwest organizers,and tracks,
Pa,ohio,wis,ia,sc,nc,
etc etc
but the bulk of it is California based and northwest coast states.
Really Fun stuff.
Outlaw karts.. there are two classes open and intermediate , I will never race any thing other ... Super safe , most power to weight fun ever we race them all over Pennsylvania .
You guys must have the best internet search team you guys find the best stuff lol. 🤙👍👌
That looks like a lot of fun.
Put this engine in a built 500 roller and bring it to SM22!
They are all top end,9000 rpm.
No bottom/mid.lol
Most dont run full trans,only 4th gear.
That engine I remember has a full trans though.
Would be wild as a hill climber ,sand/drag bike, but I do think you miss the lack of any bottom.to mid.
Think lifhtswitch, old tm400 on steroids
;)
AJ
Great stuff..Honda power!
Hoooolllyyyy ssshhiiitttt... That's wicked
Damn that fuckin thing wheelied 😂
Is it for sale?
Man that thing is a wild bit of gear
Now I want a kart..fudge!!💸💸💸
KAPLAN AMERICA STRIKES AGAIN!!!!! KYLE GET IT ON
DUDE!!!
THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!!
Kaplan can I box up the motor for my service 500 and send it to yall? I'd like to have it gone through if available bullet cases and lectron carb? Well go all in on it.
Send it to MRE Adam Millar or Ken O'Connor, or Tom Morgan we can't take any more work we can't keep up
@@KaplanCycles but then you'll not see the prettiest CR500.
Seen some funny shit before but that's just insane, would love a try on that bad boy.
Daaaamn ! How does that even make 100hp? Is it methanol or pump gas ? 🤔🤔
Freaking rad!!! Little beast
So how did they make so much power with a cr500 engine? And why hasn't this been done on an actual cr500?
These engines /karts have special.pipes piston port timing etc that would be fundamentally useless in a dirt bike application unless you just want to go wfo straight.
Typically they turn about 9000 rpm and only make power up top.
