Definitely the fastest vintage dirtbike I've ever been on. Also great bike to ride with good suspension and decent brakes. And it always starts first kick😄 The bike is still in it's break-in period!
Beautiful Bike. My best friend and I grew up well into our 30's riding dirtbikes everyday. During the "500" years this would be us in the pits, we spent most our time making and hitting jumps.. Then one day at "The Dump", there was this older guy in his 50's riding a CR500 on the track.. Just Rippin' like he was on a 250! Wildest memory I have of that pit, absolutely fearless! It was the only time in our lives we ever watched somebody actually "Rippin'" a 500 like it was meant too!
That guy knows how to start a 500. I still have my 85,86 and 88 along with a couple of 480’s. My 85 still scares the shit out of me. Short rod and quick revs with the front wheel in the air all day long. She sounds crisp and don’t sell it because you will regret it.
1975 Honda Elsinore CR125M was my first motocross motorcycle. Same exact sound, and the torch on the bike was unbelievable. Gotta hand it to the Japanese. They built quality.
Best motocross engine/bike ever made 💪😎🏆 So damn good that they (38 years later) can still hold thier own against 2023 450 4stroke motocross bikes 😥 and still regretting selling my old race bikes 83CR480 and 87CR-500 and now knowing just how much more that they're worth nowadays 🤑🤑
And a Bell Moto III! Your bike is jetted right, super crisp. The 85 CR500 was more violent than the 91 CR500 I had. My 91 was incredible, I never should’ve sold it. I missed it so much I decided to get another but found a mint 99 KX500 and honestly, it’s faster than the CR’s to me. The KX just doesn’t seem to turn as well. I’d love to add a CR500 to my stable.
@@TopRevsyou got social media? I got a 84 CR500. I like talking about cr500’s. What carb do you have on yours? What’s your elevation and temperature you ride?
@@blanchard899 I ride in all types of elevations and temperatures because I live in Norway. Stock carb with stock main jet, a bit smaller idle jet, but i think I want to put a bit bigger idle jet in it
@@TopRevs very nice. I have a stock PE45D and pwk airstriker. The stock Im running 162 main, 68 pilot and R1468N needle 3rd clip position. Buddy of mine has the same bike as you stock pipe and stock carburetor. 168 main, 65 pilot, R1369N needle on 3rd clip position. Cold season I’ll richen the main and when it’s super hot in the summer I’ll lean it out a little. Not much adjustment
Also if your the bike man i think you must be ti still run a propper beast like this check out kaplan americas collection of 500 tonners so nosatligic, long live 2 stoke f**k 4 bangers
It wasn’t intended to be an insult. But, I can see it being taken that way. Yes I understand what break in is, Ive rebuilt my Son’s KTM. Have a great day.
Sounds about right to break in a new top end, well done guys. Sounds fucking awesome. I'm almost a bit embarrassed that cr makes the front of my pants tights. Lol. Ride on, gentlemen, when in doubt, send it.
