Honda CR500 Riding a Legend! 

I frickin love it , you did a great job on a great bike, I really like the video on the second ride and the slow mo at the end, like the bike had a heart beat . Thanks for the ride, keep up the awesome work.

raced this bike new in 1985 500 expert class. I am 58now and know my bones would shatter...since in my head I am still 23yo want wide open on gas... I feel the pain from back then but love it...Good show.

Watching your artistic expression of what this bike means to you and your passion for 2 wheels and dirt was an honor. I know where your coming from. GREAT JOB !

That deep popping of that 500 breathing sends chills down my arms! Badass machine brother!

The soundtrack of a two stroke brought back memories of old, both the love of the rush and also the anxiety of the beast that wants you dead.

I dig your videos man. Nice job. I'm 45 years old and have been out of the game for minute, but you have re-lit a fire inside of me to get back on the saddle. Thanks for that lol!!!

Bitter sweet to see the 500 go, that final ride was a nice reminder just how scary fast that bike is. whoever has purchased this bike is one lucky person. This should be on everyone’s bucket list to ride one. Thank you for sharing again this has really ignited a spark in me and hopefully when I am well again I can think about getting one myself.

Music to my years! Best girl I ever had... 1991 CR 500...

I'm 44 years old now and just the sound and the smell of that 2-stroke there's nothing like a CR my first Honda was a CR125 Elsinore and that was fun but this 500 you guys are right that does take a man

i'm so glad i found people my age who want to ride (again) im subbing and keeping track -thank you

i bet the new owner is happy, what a beautiful machine you did an excellent job on that bike

Wow, lost for words. You just took me back to places I wanted to go! Thankyou

Boy I love the sound and look. Brings back good memories growing up in North Carolina

I had a cr -500 awesome power great bike definitely a legend nice video 👍

What a great video, thanks for that. I grew up on a 1,500 acre ranch in So. Cal. And I rode an '85 CR250 and a CR500 almost everyday for years. They both were great bikes to ride.

Buddy of mine had one for a few years...I rode it once on trail and that was enough for me! Gotta be a pretty experienced/strong rider to ride the thing off idle. He vibrated off so many bolts! haha

My favorite bike of all time ! What a powerhouse ! Sounds tight nice bike !!

My CR500 was my second dirt bike ever. I bought it brand new to erase the nightmare of a (ab)used Suzuki RM125 that never could get past about 15mph for me, so I wasn’t fooling around for my second bike. This brand new 1995 CR500 was a B**** to start and nearly tore my arms off, but she would take me flying like a fighter jet in afterburner. Today I’m a pilot thanks to that Honda CR500, she uncovered my love or flying!

So nice to see the two stokes being kept alive good work !!

I luv 500's. Especially how you can ride an entire track in one gear.

Do a great job with your bike my son has got a 2004 CR80 that he rides ever weekend we are in the UK keep up the great videos

I'm lucky enough to be the proud owner of a 85 cr500 in near perfect factory condition, getting a little to old to tame that beast, "mid 50's now" but have no plans on letting her go,

Just picked up an '85 cr500 a few days ago. Can't wait to get it in that same condition.

I'm tunning a CR500 1989 right now. Your videos have teached me some useful stuff. Thank you! Also it is inspiring to see you ripping like that, I'm in my forties, hoping to ride for another 15 years...God knows hehe

Nice video and bike!! thats a keeper! had a 2001 years ago, I miss her

1 last spin 😂. That’s when the good stuff happens lol. Nice bike 👍

Those things are so much fun I had one back in 84 it was a beast

Great video, definitely one of my favourite bikes.

My best friend bought one new in 85. Seems like I crashed every time I rode it. Man I loved that bike!

I bought one these new in 1986 for $1,850. Bar none, it was the best bike I ever had. After watching this video, you’ve got me kicking myself for selling it.

Great stuff. I have 2 1986 cr500s both imported from Florida I'm restoring one and using the other. Love all your videos keep up the good work

Had an ‘85 that I used to ride in Glamis. Had a 10-paddle on it and boy was it strong. Very difficult to keep the front down with a paddle on it. I couldn’t begin to ride it to it’s potential, but you could leave it in a higher gear and cruise, blipping the throttle once in a while. Before that bike, I had an RM500. It was air cooled and a 4-speed. It didn’t last too long between top ends in the sand, would get hotter than hell. My last bike and the one I rode the most was a ‘97 CR500. It was easier to ride, more tractable power and of course the suspension was light years better. I’ll be 55 this week. I suppose I could still start one but I wouldn’t last long riding one! Great memories, thanks for the video!

Really great ride! Tracked looked fun! Awesome Video!

Own an 85 cr500, all original, waiting on cdi box, she will be back to life! I will be 60 in 8 days, have ridden the big bores my whole life, you just have to respect the braaap!

Beautiful bike man! Definitely an icon of a bike!

that was fully sick i want one im in love with the old motos absolutly awsume

Man I miss that sound, I had an 87 and would put it up against anything. I've rode dozens of bikes from the 70s til the present and that was my favorite.

You can tell that bike has got some serious power nice job man.

85 cr500 is brutal! Absolutely brutal!

Wish we lived closer. I would definitely be interested in buying it. Right on brother ! Like what your doing 👍👍👍👍

I could pop my CR500’s up in any gear at any speed. I love that bike so much

So clean, great looking bike.

I had a yz490...what a beast.

I had that same year 500. Very fast. They featured it in a drag race with a 750. I think the cr500 won. Not the best suspension but that's what made it so scary/fun to ride. I had my 85 back in 1990. Lotta fun. Great job on restoration. I love that era of the hondas. I had a xr350 ,xl 350, xr 500 loved em and would love to have have a restored 350 the six speed makes a big difference with top speed

I wish I lived near you and when you when you were selling that, I've been looking for a good deal on a cr500 or yz490, I love 2 strokes, sucked that they stopped making the 500's

I had a Kenny Roberts Rz 350 street bike I sold and seen a craigslist post for a 88cr500 got it for 1400 bucks a monster great video’s man. I couldn’t part with it now

that is one nice beast....i had a 91 KTM 500 THAT THING WAS ALOT OF FUN...

Vicious bike !

At 3.47.... DAMNNNNN, listen to that monster tractor up that hill!!! PURRRRFECT.

Wow I love these bikes wish u lived closer

Nice bike, the last bike I had was an 86 CR 250. I did ride a friends 85 YZ 490, if I remember correctly it was a 4 speed

Jeeeese that thing wants to screeeem! What an awesome bike.

Nicely Done, Had you roosted those guys that would have been icing on the cake.

I've been riding all my life, ridden the CR5 many times, me being 150lbs it never knew I was on the thing but I rode it as hard as I could and it was game for more, always more. I've never seen anyone actually be able to wring one out however, its just too much, all the time... Good times

what a monster :0

Great work man!

I love the 500 CR

Looking forward to the 125 build. Nice work!

That looks hard to hang on to. Well done.

Damn it old man....shouldnt have sold it....but i do wish i had it ...sweet bro

I'm dam near 56 now and beat all to hell, but in the early 90's I had an 86 CR500 torque ported by Moose Racing, their 2 lb flywheel weight, DG National pipe, Boyesen Reeds. I could idle right down with the flywheel weight and just pick my way through the woods of Michigan leaving it 3rd gear never shifting, it was like riding an automatic. That was the Dr. Jekyll side of it. Get it into the intermediate jet and beyond and you immediately get to shake hands with Mr. Hyde, and he had a mean grip! That bike was an absolute beast, you better be leaning WAY forward and be pointing in the direction you want to go when you muster up the courage to wack it WFO. My friends called it the "widowmaker", it scared a couple experienced 250 riders to the point where they did not even want to ride it. Eating Banshees for lunch was a favorite activity, I cheated a little by taking the 500 stickers off the swingarm. The seat just said CR, I would think the huge cylinder would tip them off but it never did. However the big D752 on the rear throwing boulders, logs, and whatever else it ripped up at them very quickly tipped them off this was no 250. When asked when it came on the pipe I would reply if you could hear it running it was on the pipe, the thing had a powerband a mile wide and a mile high. Thanks for the memories of the craziest most fun dirtbike I have ever owned.

Sweet bikes! Looks like a lot of fun... I'm glad you held on and tamed that beast!!! Would have sucked to mess up all your hard work with 1 moment of stupidity in over-confidence! Great riding!

I think I've heard you say this before! Do you take a torch and lightly go back and forth over the plastic to bring the color back?

HOW NICE OF U TO LET SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY THAT BEAST!!! #SANTA

nice. chilliwack i dig it

One word.................................... MASTERPIECE

awesome vid i love it. ive always wanted to ride a 500 just to see whats its like, ive rode many 250s and my race bike is a 125, and ive got a 500 just sitting in the barn identical to the one in this video, im just such a light weight i haven't been able to start it yet. lol

Had an 83 aircooled, loved it,just do ,t stall them when you are tired!

Love these hondas

Keeping my 500s untill I cant ride anymore.

Looks good man

Amazing

I love two strokes.!

Cr 500 the monster😀😍

hey mate love the vids, out of interest how does it compare speed wise to say a modern day 450 four stroke? is it as quick?

The music is too awesome

Very Nice CR 500..

Nice video man! I would be so nervous to ride a 500 in that shape on a track😆

Awesome!

Man I want one. I bet its like riding a explosion. Good on you for hitting those jumps at 50 with a broken back. It must be a terrifying thought to overshoot a landing or case the bike.

I saved and saved for my new 85 500 had to have it !

Love the vids keep up good work

Nice 500

The 1985 CR500: "The most Beautiful looking Bike to ever grace planet Earth"

I had a 86 cr 500 sold it 6 years ago. People thought I was crazy when I would be unloading it especially since I was 5'7" 180lbs but riding since i was 8 I'm now 49. There's nothing like it and nothing that could touch it. I had so many people ask me if they could ride it sum I would tell them if you can start it you can ride it needless to say not many rode it it's not a bike you let just anyone jump on unless you wanna see them taken away on a stretcher. I even have real vintage beast of a bike I've been riding for many years 1973 Suzuki tm400 cyclone the original 'widow Maker'. You could not sit on this bike and kickstart it both legs had to be on same side of bike or get a permanent scar on your right shin.

sweet looking bike dude :) I raced a 1988 cr500 in the expert class when i was 20 years old,they are a whole lot of fun,i even used to ride supercross tracks on it but not race sx on it,they are not the best handling things compared to modern bikes but they dont sound sh#t like a modern crf450 either lol,people say that they are not that powerfull next to a crf450 either but i can tell you not many expert guys would race them back in the day because they are not easy to go fast on,not like a cr250 and they are so much more hard work on your body,not that much heavyer but i think its the crank mass and compression that does it,next time one of you 450 guys get a chance to throw a leg over one go for it you will have sooo much fun.

What A Treat!

Can't believe your selling it tnt bet your going to miss the power of the 500 keep up the good work mate that would be worth 8 grand in Australia

Nice I really wish I can someday buy and ride a dirt bike

He's got the 500 oot there

ihad a 1984 cr 500 loved that bike was not afraid of it rode it hard

Don't know where you found a new grandfather at but nice. On corners look for a rut to put your tires in then let it rip,the more speed the more traction .

Always wanted on a 500 to see what it was about. Guess my crf 450 is close as ill ever get lol. That is a beautiful cr500.

I wish we had more tracks like this in the UK. Too many short supercross style where you can't open up a monster like this.

Do you still have the 1985 cr500 you restored a couple years ago?

Beautiful bike

Dear TNTmoto I am a fellow Honda owner I have a 1985 CR250 I restored it 12 years ago and then the only piston I could find was the last wisco size and man let me tell you the cylinder was thin I love that bike I only wish I race them back in the day I road husky then the open class my first 500 was a 390 cr 1977 i road that bike for 5 years then got a new husky 82 500 cr man that bike was fast I even won a few races on it then fast forward 18 years a good friend of mine got that same bile in your video he said I have got to ride it I found out he could not start it I was the first one to get it running I popped it in gear took off and I did not get off the dam thing all day being I was the only one h who could start it at the end of the day I told my friend I did not see how i ever beet any of them the power was fn great handle so good compared to the husky I just was blown away . Now the main thing I need to find a cylinder for my 250 it has a mean crack under the ex port clean down the hole side i was told there is no fixing it that is my problem can you help me there is not one in the hole dam state of Calif I want that bike back on the track for this summer thanks I love your page and I subscribed keep up the good Hondas and moto on me George Davis moto freek.

That cr500 would would sit in my basement when not being rode and would keep til death do us part😂😂
