1978 Yamaha YZ250 

Who's the trolls with the thumbs down . These are the best bike videos out hands down

I raced from 86-88. I rode a KX-80 back then, good old days! This YZ-250 is beautiful man and it sounds so good! Thanks for posting:)

Gorgeous vintage motocross racing bike. At that current time, this bike was the epitome of motocross.

im just an old yellow n black yammar hammer lover love the old yz

What an iconic MX bike. When that bike was released it was way ahead of the pack, classic color.

Bob Hannah.if you say it in reverse, it doesn’t matter- its the same guy!

I absolutely love your channel! Just like these bikes I believe your a rare breed. To me your the face of 500’s!! The way you catch the mic every time has me rolling

Whoooop we yellow YZ now we’re going back to the days thanks 🙏 Ken 😎

Badass bike, I need a 78 125 and 250 to complete my collection

Goin’ full Bannana on that thing. Ken Kaplan 2024 !!!

Cant ride a 78 YZ 250 without a Hannah jersey,,, classic!!!

Your channel has become one of my favorite no joke!! Please keep driving them beautiful bikes!!!!!!!! Nice to see what they run like!!! Never seen anything like these bikes!!!!!

Was a massive Hannah fan back in the late 70s. Unfortunately being in the U.K. and fairly penniless I never got to see him ride. But love the look of the YZeds.

HOLY MOLY! This is the bike my dad let me graduate to that he owned. This is a absolute BEAST! This just makes me tingle! I love it. Wish it was mine

I need a job here would definitely change my life for the good. Maybe kaplan jr could arc this into canada niagra falls area.

78 YZ80 was my 1st motocross bike. We had those Honda Trail 70 to learn on. Then I graduated to (3) 82 YZ80J’s for racing. 1 was stock & the other 2 were race bikes. Wish I still had one of them. I keep hoping you bring in one of those, you were close a couple weeks ago with a huge haul, but the one you mentioned unloading them that you thought it may be an 82, wasn’t. In 82 the YZ80 was the 1st yr liquid cooled for them & the radiator was behind the front # plate. I can’t believe I’d ever get to correct the King of Motorcycle’s “Kaplan America”...That will forever be my claim to fame. 😂😂✌️ EDIT: I love how the CC says “Music” when the bike is running. It sure is music!

Love your videos and passion for two strokes, thanks Kap!

..saw the rear height and frame cut (i am not special). You called it out. Kaplan wins all day with transparency. We wish there a lot more people doing things right. :)

Impeccable specimen.

Haha I have a 79 YZ250 I love how loud the exhaust is

Loved when those YZ got the aluminum swing arms. My first National I went to was Pine Top in RI. Yes we had a National MX in Rhode in 78. Sadly only one. Can still smell the race gas and bean oil.

Nice bike just sold my 77 rm125 like 2 weeks ago

Sunday's with ken & crew at Kaplan's on youtube

When they sounded so good!!! Loud!

That thing is a ripper!!

she looking sweet love the retro look kap

I've got a 79. Always wondered what it felt like to be Bob Hannah.

THAT SWING ARM THO!!!!!

Awesome!

🔥🔥🔥

Where can you find parts for these bikes, such as ignition and wiring parts

Lets gooooo full throttle

Something about the old 2 strokes they just sound nastier

Honestly that bike sounds snappier and more power that the 75 cr250 you just rode. Hows the power difference ken?

Can you post what these old school weapons sell for

*I own a Stock 78 YZ250E* *Probably have it Restored and make it an in House Ornament*

Is banana sandwich 🥪 only for Suzuki, or does a yellow Yamaha qualify🤔?

I don't know who screwed up and painted that frame Orange. I have a 1979 YZ250

Beautiful bike, unfortunately, me thinks porting is the issue of it running underpowered and flat.

2nd one here let's go.

That 78 Yamaha looks better then the rest of Hondas Kawasakis or Susukis in that year most of the later 70s Yamaha's were nicer looking I think I dont why you wouldn't want to restore that Yami o bet if that was a Honda you would when the fact is that Yamaha is a nicer looking bike and a better bike

Silencer needs cut apart repacked and welded back together sounds like a empty beer can

UNOBTANIUM

Awesome!
