Cool looking bike. It's nice GASGAS stuck with the silver alloy rims which for me looks a lot better than the black rims, modern bike with classic styling. Thanks Kaplan for another awesome video as alyways.
I have a 01 kdx 220 bought new at age 26 and now piped and jetted with race tech suspension. Poor mans version of this. Still rockin it few weekends a year and just turned 48yr. Bought my 17 yr old an 07 wr 250f really nice. But back to back still gimme my two smoker. Smaller wheelbase too so I can out handle. However that wr gets me top speed flat out he keeps on goin. Gotta be 80+ mph
I've got a 22 FE501 and I love it though if Gas Gas built a 500/501 type of bike l just might have gone with one. The red looks sic as imo ! Also, even though l live in Australia.. I gotta to get a Kaplan Cycles t-shirt ! Do you guys sell them ?? Kaplan America is my fav RU-vid channel after all 😃 You guys are livin the dream with all of the sweet vintage and current bikes surrounding you everyday !
Awesome Video Ken! You could see the happiness in that Father and Son's eyes. I sure wish my Dad was still alive. He passed in May 2019. I would have loved to have seen You and Dad go riding. Dad loved 2 strokes and their monsterous power. He even had a few Kawasaki Triples before I was born. God Bless Brother! I'm chomping at the bit to watch the finished product, with your Gas Gas EC 300 being converted into the 500. That bikes gonna definitely be nasty.
Kaplan america can you get Charles from MX rivival to build you a gas gas mc 250 with a BRH 500cc conversion kit on it from Canada they would sell in your dealership like hot cakes there is a you tube video on one they tested in Glen Helen
I'm heading out to Moab, UT later this month for a week of riding, I'm renting a 23 GasGas EC250 to use out there. Who knows, if I love it, I might have to have one, then I'll come see you at the Shop 😉
Love seeing the Vintage bikes I live in Long Island now not too many places to ride around here the cops will confiscate air bike but I grew up in a small town in Eastern Connecticut seeing you guys just takes me back there God Bless America
Not many places to ride anywhere anymore! I'm in Western Ohio in semi suburbia / farming area & you can't ride anywhere w/out permission! Have 2 sport quads 2 dirtbikes.
