Carson Brown and his dad Duane Brown brought back this Honda CR500 Two Stroke from the grave. What if Honda still made the CR500? This could be the closest thing to what it might look like in 2021. The bike was completely re-done at the BBR Motorsports Headquarters in Washington and built around the premise of a professional supercross/motocross racer riding it. Carson Brown is a current 250 pro and spent a lot of time helping his dad test this motorcycle before they finished. Carson folded the first frame in half! These bikes were not made to do what a rider like Carson can on a dirt bike. We met up with Carson Brown at Mountain View Motocross to watch him ride the CR500 Two Stroke wide open! This video is all about the riding. We will have a behind the build video coming soon with all the details on how it was made. For now, its time to enjoy the sweet sound of a custom Honda CR500 Two Stroke rip around a private track in the Pacific Northwest.

Been riding my CR500s for 20 years now (2001 models). I won't weigh in on the horsepower stuff, but the CR500 power delivery is pretty magical in all types of riding, moto, single track, hillclimb, etc. Most amazing is the durability, one of them I bought new must have 400hours on it. 1st over, 3rd piston, bottom end never touched. Two clutches, just plates and springs, and two carburetors (worn out slide/carb body). Amazing. Rode it about 2.25 hours this weekend getting in shape for Sprint Enduro I'll race on October 10th.

I had a 86’ CR 500 back in 88’ I sold because it was a huge hassle to start. I ended up purchasing a brand new 89’ CR 500. What a world of difference the 89’ was to start. Boy, do I miss the two strokes!!!

If they came out with a fuel injected 2 stroke 500 I'd be on the waiting list. Look at the 500 market right now! AJ Waganer literally is showing Honda that there is INDEED a market for these bikes and he has single handedly revived soo many of these bikes.

@johndoe3johndoe382 2 года назад

If they could bring back at least just the 500, that would be so cool. Kind of like how the XR 650 is still produced, the CR 500 should be treated the same. If they want to do modern 4 stroke mx line as the main one because of whatever reasons, cool, but just bring that 500 back at least by itself lol

Counterbalancer and e-start are unnecessary dead weight on a dedicated MX bike. Kick it hard like youre supposed to and it should fire right up. A microbalanced crankshaft will take care of the tiny little bit of vibration everyone seems to want to bitch about.

Check out Kaplan America, he does side by side comparisons of dyno charts of various 450s, and uses the same dyno as the magazines, did dynos on the yamaha, the honda, works and regular, and does multiple cr500s. Tbh more often than not the 500s have more hp and torque than the 450s

@StrykerV8 2 года назад

@@DislodgedTKO is that the guy who built his business around selling vintage 2 strokes? The one who attacks 4 strokes on every video he makes? The one who dynoed a 450 and the number was a full 8-9hp less than other tests? I'm sure he's totally unbiased and impartial, not like his entire business model relies on people buying 2 strokes

@DislodgedTKO 2 года назад

He is a guy that has multiple dyno runs of various 450s and 500s on the same dyno the magazines use. Now idk if you have ridden a properly built 500 and a new 450 back to back before, but personally they totally different motors. They fire twice as often on a bigger bore than the 450s, it shouldnt be suprising they out perform on raw #s. Now fuel efficiency and rideability is a whole other topic

@williamfabiano543 2 года назад

The 450's aren't very fun to ride in my opinion. They are fast, but they go fast without any effort. The CR500 isn't like that. It keeps you honest.

Memory has a way of forgetting the bad parts and romancing the rest. 500’s quit being made because they weren’t even popular back then. I know several people who bought them within the past few years and promptly sold them after a couple of rides. Unless ice racing is your thing, save your money.

@dormantmenace 2 года назад

Ya pull the clutch on pretty much any cr500 and the case will be hairline fractured around the main shaft bearing. Eventually it gives. Pre covid... repaired cases were 250 + non repaired 500+. And I've had no luck having them welded twice and they broke still. Bullet cases are like 1500 a side

@keithpeterson3447 2 года назад

Totally talented rider but another guy who doesn't know to shift a 500 if you want to go faster. Revving like that just gets it way past the power. Like even though it sounds cool up in the revs, it's actually way down on power up there. So it gives the illusion of a guy using all of its power when in reality he is WAY past it where its only a fraction of what it would be at peak (lower in the revs). Sick riding though. 👍
