PICK GONE RIGHT!!! CHRISTMAS IN APRIL! 21 CLASSIC MX BIKES YZ60 YZ80 YZ100 YZ125 YZ250 YZ490 CR500AF 

If Sr. wasn’t wearing shades when Jr. said “I have no interest in riding 4-strokes” I think we woulda seen him tearing up 😭😂 Respect ✊🏽

We need more videos of the staff going thru the bikes!! We wanna see them being worked on and tuned and fixed and wrenched on...!!!

I give thanks to the great Americans that fought WW2, Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦 and the Nederlands 🇱🇺

Two stroke gods have blessed kaplan cycles once again

Kaplan team you guys have bought back so many memories for me on 2 strokes. My dad had a small farmlet and he plowed at track for me and my mate to ride on. I had a Yamaha 80 and my mate had a Jawa 150. We raced around and around it all day. We had horses, sheep and a few dry stock cattle. The animals got use to us burning around and we had so much fun. Love your work guys thanks again.

Pick gone right is an understatement. That's one hell of kick ass collection.

82 was the 1st yr for the liquid cooled YZ80 & it was like the 125 you have in this package, the radiator was in front of the bars. I had 3 of them for racing...Wish every day I still had 1 of them, they were so quick!

Beautiful, and I mean everything from the bikes to the museum. I fell in love with this channel

Thank God there is people like you going around and saving these gems.

Thank you for your service to our country James.

Ken I work in one of the oldest Navy shipyards on the west coast (established 1891) and use freight elevators every day that are from the 1900's old, but not nearly as old or cool as yours! That thing is awesome!

A KX 420 !! Cant wait to see it restored, its a keeper

These are the days we live for ! Absolutely incredible. Bikes right off the trailer. Fresh, hot and delicious. 2 strokes for life ! Ken Kaplan for Congressman !!!

Good for you guys, of all the could do it, you guys at Kaplan are beasts, god's, thank you for saving these bikes, you guys deserve Emmy!

I love the fact that your videos jump around at the same pace of my brain!

I had an 84 yz80 as a kid. Buddy had an 84 IT100. These bikes take me back.

My head is spinning from all those bad ass bikes. What a collection. I’m amazed how you fit that many bikes in 1 trailer. Some of those bikes bring back memories of my childhood. 🇺🇸

You had my teen bikes and 20's all lined up . I was literally breathless from remembering all the races , practices , rides at Keystone lake - Little Sahara , reliving my first new motocrosser and what it took to get it ..oh man . I scraped , saved and sold my record collection to get my 80 model RM 125 that I put a FOX fork kit in off the floor brand new and that bike was blessed . It never broke or failed on me and I got my first holeshot at Ponca City at my first GNC National . Like I said it was blessed . PK

That 85 CR500 is amazing. Thank god that you have acquired them, no one better to care for them.

I have ridden a lot of those bikes, the YZ80 is an 83, was my first bike that was new. The YZ 100 was one of the best bikes for just play riding ever made. And yes I've ridden the YZ 465 also. And I can't forget my favorite bike the Honda CR 500 1984

The YZ80 took me back to a 14yo kid...mine was red&white in Canada...my 1st brand new Mx bike! Yours is an 83 (2nd year liquid cooled) 81 still air cooled then 82s were bar mounted radiators followed by the 83 you have. We love two strokes in Canada & share your passion Ken. Love the shit you find! Long live the smell of burning injection oil in the morning!!

Pick of the year right there. Glad the museum is finally open again, can't wait to see all those biblical big bores in action! Keep up the great work.

Ken you've blown my mind again with the bikes and the buildings. 50 years iv worked as a carpenter ,furniture maker cabinet maker, and yes BMW and Jaguar mechanic. I'm up in Boston but I wish I could get down there to Connecticut and donate some time working on that building for you I'd be very proud to, my wife maybe she'll let me maybe not 😂

Amazing find! James is the Master at delivering so many bikes, and he does it so well. I can't wait until James pulls up to my house, in Metairie, La, with my 1985 Yamaha 2 stroke RZ 350 Kenny Roberts Edition! I'm chomping at the bit to see it come off of the trailor and ride it. I know my Dad, looking down on me from Heaven, will love this 2 stroke!

What an amazing hall, the gods are definitely shining on you today. I tell you I'd be like a kid in a candy store with all those awesome two strokes.

What an amazing collection. Glad to see that someone got them that cares about the original owner and the bikes.

Love this old building and hearing the history and the inner workings of an 1814 building !

Wow amazing collection of bikes. I can imagine that six figure check..lol

I think the AFX is a enduro model. just like the crf250x. what awesome bikes!

Amen to the 2 strokes 🙏 I had a bad accident on my street bike kap I'm doing better I'm just glad I'm alive I hit a pole doing 103 God bless America 🇺🇸

dude, the yellow yz125 brings me back. awesome bike. all of them.

I love the vid the 2 stroke will rise again. I also love how he pointed out the BASS system on the yz490 mine has that on it too and i find the older tech really interesting.

Great seeing these old bikes. Got my 1st one for 1975 Christmas at 7yr old MX 80 (Yamaha). Rode the help out of it and got an RM80 for Christmas at 9yrs house old.

Vintage 2 stroke mxr's rarely had titals. That said dont trust your historic bikes with craigslist bandits, James is a American treasure, take notice how he keeps his rig clean& organized 🇺🇸👍👏

Another nice find. Those old yz100 are hard to find these days. The one you have looks beautiful. Thank you for posting another great film.

"If you google dime piece..this will show up!!" that is certainly an understatement brother...lol. Another day at the office boys, glad you share these incredible bikes. No doubt I will be on my scoot headed up to see that Museum this summer!

Those old gals bring back some memories! Long live the big bore two-strokes!!

Just a suggestion, sell t shirts,hats & keys tags w/ your name on them.every 5$ spent gets an entry for a raffle of a motorcycle.another you tuber does this & it is a win - win for everyone.he's got people winning dodge filers w/ a 20$ t-shirt!

What a line up! God's work keeping these beauties running.

Man would I love to have one of those 86 CRs, and that KX 420. Awesome!!!!!

I need to get out to this museum. One of these days I'll be able to make the trip

There can't be to many picks left in this country with barns full of off road bikes

I have a 84 cr500r in Pennsylvania👍 not ALL are in Connecticut...Yet😂

2:34 ouch right on the toes

Great video great memories my bikes in the 80s 78 cr125 mugen head, yz125g,kx125a7, kx125b1,rm100c,yz490j Keep up the fantastic work. All the best richard, London uk

Wow ?? Just brilliant wish I could be there just fantastic well done you lot 😁 brill

I feel like you and Ronnie Mac should ride some”pristine” 2 strokes!

Who ever invented the 2 stroke is smiling, looks like a fun place to work.

Always awesome videos and throwback treats of great old school bikes! You guys rock there at Kaplan!

Great video, the YZ 80 is a 1983, the YZ 60's are 1982, cool bikes. My brother raced one, he had a pair, 1 stock & 1 modified. These two are "holy Grail" finds! The story is two long to post. I raced two 1982 YZ 80's, 1 stock, 1 modified, they hauled. If you find a modified YZ50, let me know. I'd be game to by one YZ60 if ya still have one. Great video, appreciate you keeping the dreams alive!!!

God provides a way of you put it in his hands I am going to put the Kaplan museum on my bucket list I've been around all the bikes street or dirt for the last 59 years of my life when really men raced and won bless all your endeavors for 2021

If I only grew up in the 70s-80s wow 🤩can almost hear them idling after seeing you wheel them all up. Cannot wait to hopefully come check out your museum 👍🏻 I would love to do this. Almost better then buying gold❕All American badass for sure !! 👍🏻👏🏻

Your the luckiest ppl I've ever seen. I think I'm about to be sick. I wish I had your connections. WOW!!!!

I had that same cr 60 when I was 11 years old in 1987 I loved that bike so much there was a lot of jealous kids in my neighborhood they all wanted one

James doesn't mess around,once a marine ALWAYS a marine 🇺🇸 ALWAYS FAITHFUL

Wow talk about going back in time. I can say I’ve either ridden or raced against every one of the YZ’s and CR’s

Love that 84 IT490 I was about four days away from buying one of those back in 1984 and I lost my job ended up getting an XR 500 a few months later Always wanted one of the 490 ‘s though....

I've never seen a kx420 . Awesome. Living the dream my friend.

I am liking that green 420 but that 500 AFX is the most gnarly bike in the lot imo

man i wish i was rich id buy one of those yz 490 s i had when i was 13 yrs old mine was yellow n black 1983 or 84 the it 490 is bad ass n who wouldnt want the old kdx hell who wouldnt want them all cant wait till the motocross footage

Man I'd have a fit seeing that many bad ass two strokes at one time😀👏🏼

This is one of the best reveal videos I’ve ever seen. I’m not far from you guys, there’s another trike shop a few hours from you guys, my brother and I have to stop by and see some history. God bless you brother. That’s Fookin’ awesome

🤣😅😂 Oh man, you guys are the best! The 2 stroke gods must love you guys

Two strokes forever! Thanks for the architectural educational tour Ken! Your freight elevator is amazing!

God bless the Kaplan’s and all the team from the mechanics to the telephone sales people the 2 stroke kings ov the world ,,,well done love your videos... all the way from the uk neil 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Really glad you are taking care of those old buildings. Too much of that kind of history is just knocked down or left to rot.

What a beautiful building, unbelievable amount of time and hard work. Good job 👍. Dream job owning a facility like that!!

Nice bikes,,, Those birds weren’t hawks,they’re turkey vultures

Those Yamaha's got me drooling!!..I'm moving to Rockville&pitching camp in your parking lot!!

All I got is WOW!awesome find.so cool these bikes are still around.thanks fellas

You guys have the best taste still cant wait to come and meet yall. And give Wizzard a raise haha hes a great guy

Went there today and saw them all in person. That was quite the haul

I was one of those kids who was not allowed to have a bike when I was 10 it’s all I ever wanted!!!! The next door nabor was given a brand new Honda cr 80 I swear he never had it out of second gear it was Pure torture to watch!!! That was it I made my plan I saved every penny that came my way and three year’s later I bought 1974 mx 250 with out my parents Knowledge and brought it home they let me keep it and I never looked back. Out of all the motocross bikes I have owned over the years I pine for my 1989 KX 250 it was the best bike I have ever Written to this day. Love this channel keep up the great work saving these Masterpieces of engineering and fun. Ps Throwing a leg over any two-stroke is the fun is Bike I have ever written as well👍

Nice 2 stroke haul boys!! Atta boy Junior! Say no to 4 strokes 82' YZ 125 was my first 2 stroke with a powerband that high forks mounted radiator made er' a little nose heavy but that was a good bike

When COVID is gone and over in Ireland can’t wait i to the show room

Wow that's a lot of badass bikes, that Honda 450R and KX420 are unreal.

The passion that you have for bikes is what makes all of this beautiful.

hi guys this is chris who sold the bikes. loving the coments but i do miss my bikes boo hoo. kaplan guys great.

KAPLAN AMERICA STRIKES AGAIN, HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!! THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!

That 490 is rite up my street Holy Holy Holy👊✊💨💨💨

James you are living the dream brother. Good career. Retired in style. Shuttling Kaplan's haul

I’ve been a professional auto technician 20 years, had a small used car lot I did for like 7 years just on the side, I opened my own auto repair shop 3 years ago. I worked on bikes before cars, I’ve always loved 2 strokes, love working on them, worked on so many snowmobiles. I got into drag racing so I didn’t mess with bikes or sleds for a bunch of years. I will fix a bike, 4wheeler, sled for people once in a while like the last few years because the bike shops were 4 months behind. I stopped drag racing years ago it just wasn’t fun anymore it was just pouring tens of thousands into the car then something breaks them it’s more money so I stopped. I bought one of them cheap 2 stroke engines you put on a bicycle, I did a big bore kit, bought a bunch of pistons to experiment with different window sizes, port timing, stuffed the case, tons of porting, mill the top of cylinder way down, just a ton of port work because they are just a junk engine, big 23mm carb tuned just right 45mph on a mountain bike and I weigh 250 pounds lol. Doing this little 2 stroke bike engine has made me want to get back into dirt bikes and realize how much I miss them! Man it would be fun restoring bikes everyday I would much rather do that then work on cars! I wouldn’t want to work on road bikes every day but man dirt bikes would be fun! I specialize in engine, transmission, electrical and diagnostic work, would be nice to just work on easy stuff like this and most of all taking an old bike and making it like new again!

Wheeling those 80s,100s out of the trailer took me back to the 1980s here in new Zealand...✌️

11 pm over here in Ireland 🇮🇪 keep them coming ye ye

I saw this trailer stuck in traffic on I-81North in PA. I rolled the window down and talked to the driver. I knew there was a load of UNOBTAINIUM! Lol love your videos!

I was just talking to you about that YZ YAMAHA brochure last week 👌🏼 The one the teachers keep taking from me in school because that’s all I studied .. lol..But , Holy YZ’zzzzzzz man ‼️‼️‼️ You have the brochure right here America

I had that YZ100 when I was a kid. Brand new bike my dad got for me when I outgrew my RM80. It is a 1982. It was fast. I could keep up with a 125 but it had very little low end so I really had to rev it to the moon.

I had an 83 CR 60 and that thing was ridiculously fast. Loved two strokes ever since

Im drool'n over the big bore air hammers. I want just one, real bad! That black 500 is pretty bad ass to. Kappi, hook me up.

Absolutely astonishing. Cannot wait to see them all cleaned up and ripping

I'm interested in purchasing one of your bikes. How do I contact you guys? I love what you guys do loved live the 2 stroke.

Ken an.chris thanks for the memories n eye candy god bless!!!

Kawasaki 420cc 2 stroke!!! My favorite!!!

Kenny take that 500 four stroke around the museum PLEASE BROTHER I WANT TO SEE THAT MORE THAN ANY OTHER OUT OF THE LOAD p.s ive been out from 1pm until 10:30 ripping the ktm all over the place! You'd be proud ha!👊✊💨💨💨

Ken brother its awesome how you keep the positive humor going. Its essential in this life to enjoy our every days and keep it real. Work hard and play harder. With all we do and go through keep that going. God, guns and motorcycles and stick together and love our brothers. 👍

Back in the 80's when Mark Singer rode that Yamaha IT in the Sci-Fi mini-series "V", I wanted one sooo bad! 😂😂😂

Dam candy store you have...those YZ's are so awesome the 465 and 490 wow ..let me know when your in Seattle next time would love to party with you!

Ken, I'll tell you. You have a quality group of people who work for you I LOVE how you let us know who they are and what they do. I'm coming up this summer from south central Pennsylvania.

I read an article that jom pomeroy rode a works rc 500 in 1977 Honda. So there were big bore Honda's in the 70s..dont know any more than that

used to ride yz80s, 125s when i was 14 through 17. stopped riding, now at 40 i just put a depo on a 2021 yz125!!! 2 stroke all the way nervous as all hell but totally amped to feel the power band again!!
