1995 Honda CR500R 

That sound..... and that feeling....... man... it just makes you feel better..... lol... the rush of it is just too addictive!! The fact that you guys get to do it for a living is just the best thing EVER!!!!

Beautiful bike, Ken! I love the color scheme and graphics on this bike! Ride red... 100% and then some!

I’d love to have a two stroker to hop on and rip, but a 500 is a little more than I need. Damn that’s nice.

Ken is awesome and straight forward your gonna get a great bike from him for sure.

I had an 89 that I rode for 10 years. Really wish I kept it. Lately I've been getting that itch again.

That is one sick an beautiful CR 500. I love the two tone color seat, with red and black. I also loved John Greer's red, white, and blue seat. It's the most beautiful seat I have ever seen, next to the GasGas Factory Seat. ML&R.

Your enthusiasm for motorcycles is not only fantastic KK, it's infectious! Love the way your Family shares your passion too, ride safe and ride often, oh and video it all, cheers A.

Stunning machine, Kaplan America is One with the big Hondo. 🙏

Mans Bike ! God bless Kaplan America !

What a classic beast! And that sound... EARGASM!

Damn I had a 250 and a 500 nice bikes 2 stroke life

3rd gear hole shot. Nice! Nice head work. Beautiful bike.

You really can't beat the McGrath era hondas. They were the fastest and most wicked race bike you could buy. Ride red my brother.

Rode one upstate ny years ago, BEAST!

Still love watching these videos Ken even after you’ve sold them 👍🏻 🏁🏁🏁 i got to get me one someday absolutely awesome..❤️ 🇺🇸

Ooooh, I love the white letter tires. Cool touch.

The Monster cr500 nothing like deep 2 stroke sound nice build

Stunning. And superb job done

LOVE THE FIVE HUNDREDS THEY ARE AWESOME !

Kaplan thank you For keeping the cr500 and kx500.alive .also before I leave this beautiful world of ours. It would be my last wish.to see you ride a 1977 Yamaha TT 500 yes it's 4stroke. It was my bike for many years .keemo stopped me in my tracks. God bless u guys much love and respect

SHES A CREDIT TO YA KENNY. YOU SURE DO LOVE A BIG BORE. Have a 92 here in uk very similar Only my frame is white! Love it when it sits nice in the band. You know if you know, know what I mean Ken haha. Makes me wana go out n ride👊✊💨

The landscaper needs something to do anyway 👍👍none of them are working this time of year anyway lol

This bike sounds great

Pff very nice! Greetings from the netherlands!!

I used to start in 3rd gear in the sand on this beast🏁✊ few extra teeth on that back sprocket ‼️holeshot city. She sounds peeeeeeerfect❤️💓💓

Good morning, 👍👍👍super machine 😍😍😉thanks for your video 💪😉

Wow beautiful build. I’m in the middle of building a 97’ myself. How did you get the original tank to shine like that?

Stunning bike ! Ken ,back in your racing days did you ever run across Bill Malone or his son Billy? maybe at Unadilla they were from New Jersey...

That 500 sounds so crisp

My '96 is virtually unmolested to the point that Im still running the stock pipe (that is in outstanding condition!). The only deviations from stock are the silencer, Gold Valve suspension revalving and heavier springs, oversize front disc, and red instead of black radiator shrouds (I prefer the red). I allways followed "The Drill" to start mine cold.. Gas on Choke on Rock it back and forth a few times Neutral TDC Kick it like you mean it. It usually starts first kick! 😎👍

You make a CR 500 look like an CR80!

That's not a decompression release, Junior.. That's a 1/4 lb. boost of Nitrous.. THAT is how Senior is beating you at the 500cc drag strip.. 😎

ive been looking at the cr n kx 500s alot of them for sale being its winter time

What a beauty

Ooooooh, she's purrrrty. That's the real deal right there brother.

Wow man,my dream bike right there!God bless you and that 500!

Doing every damn thing I can to save up and accomplish my dream. Buy a 79 or 80 YZ 250 from you guys🙏🏁🤘🏻 No bullshit.

These cr 500s have more than tripled in price. Back in 1987 I ordered a 88 cr 500 for 3400 bucks brand new .

🤘🏁nice 500

Hey man thanks for showing some really nice bikes ! I love your enthusiasm! You can tell that you are loving every minute ! Thanks brother ! Respect Jammin' Jimmy El Sobrante , CA. 94803

I used to start in 3rd 👍💥

All your CR 500’s are mint

I have 650L Cr500 is next

God I love that bike!!! I would literally give one of my organs for that bike.

Crisp! 2 strokes rule!

Sweet gold pipe

That 500 is a bad bitch it does run like its mint

When you talked about the KX 500s, that reminded me that on a dyno, the CR500s actually make more whp than the KX, and much more torque too. The CR motors also respond to mods very well. With mild porting, Pro Circuit exhaust system and 2mm larger carb, these bikes will make around 62whp just with those mods which is already a lot of hp but this was my supporting knowledge to help support your argument. lol

whuch is better kx 500 or cr 500

I need!!!!!!!!

Catch up 👊🏻✊🏻

True dat bad arse !

man and $1500 is a pretty decent deal too 😁

Do you do finance to the UK

Why did stop making two strokes there so much fun.
