Your a good guy

@rshegg7605 Год назад

I own a 89 kx 250 from new, raced once, by me, then parked it behind the sofa for 32 years, pulled it out the other day, new fuel and brake fluid, third kick and she lives ❤, this almost mint bike has slept too long 🇬🇧🍺. Keep up the good work over there 🤛🏻.

@philipwurm5121 4 года назад

I loved my 89 KX 250! She had a long feel to Her but she was stable and pulled forever! Very fast bike. I believe in the right hands that thing is still competitive today!

@aidanmcnutt994 3 года назад

Yea a longer and taller feel but can still throw it around like nothing.

@daviddougher8637 4 года назад

I'm in my late 40s so the 1980s bike were my thing and always will be ///I love all there styling///kx//cr//yz//rm

@TheFykle 3 года назад

They got a bit boring looking from 85 onwards though.

@that_drummer_guy647 2 года назад

Hell Im almost 20 and I agree, old bikes just have that vintage feel you cant beat

@glenndanzigg712 4 года назад

Classic, what a beautiful machine. My old man had a ‘89 KX500, I was on the ‘89 Z50

@lifesagamesobeawinner 4 года назад

Nothing like the note of a 2 stroke power band kicking in.

@dfxdarrell6734 2 года назад

I raced a 1988 & 1991 KX 250. The '91 had better ergonomics but both had amazing stock motors. Great memories! Thanks!

@pbmachines972 4 года назад

Nice I do a little “moto yoga “ after a bit of whisky throttle 😬

@derailleurmind0454 4 года назад

Contrary to popular opinion, being knocked out is one of the most relaxing times you will experience. Whiskey throttle comes first of course.. 😂 your body may or may not end up in multiple yoga stances.

@tomjarels5732 4 года назад

I can't say it enough Love The Enthusiasm you have for motorcycles and what you do! Sr. Keep up the Great work that you and Jr do + the rest of your team.

@CatarineausArmory 4 года назад

Yes , the piece and serenity of 2 stroke yoga.

@jasonwulff8341 3 года назад

I've been weighting for you to do a 1989 KX 250. I own one and have a blast on it.

@leedavidson7314 4 года назад

Love that bike now that brings back some very nice memories. Had a 89 kx to this day 1 of the best bikes we've had gave you some much confidence

@michaelmacleod6654 4 года назад

88 & 89 to me are the best years for kxs 250s & the 500s breath in breath out n Braaaaaaaap on 😁👍👍

@ribbledean4111 4 года назад

@mixerguru 3 года назад

I had opne of those in 89 for some reason that KX had extreme balls i had a half a dozen KXs the motor reminded me of riding my Dads Maico when he wasnt looking and I had a friend to hold me up while i kicked it over... I was 12 but that KX motor was something else

@Dav5049915 4 года назад

Pretty sure this is my dad's old 250. Looks like it's running pretty good these days.

@bowhunting1013 3 года назад

I love it ! Keeping our era alive , keep the videos coming brother

@paddyoconnor5362 4 года назад

Moto yoga ! Love it. Amazing video as allways. God bless and long live the 2 stroke 🤙

@derailleurmind0454 4 года назад

A 2-stroke MX is the most relaxing and exhilarating sound known to man after all. Yoga knows this.

@Zhukov-3 2 года назад

I'm impressed with that 89 KX 250!

@jestronixhanderson9898 2 года назад

I love this channel, i dreamt of these bikes in magazines back in the day. I started riding at 5 on a peewee 50 , then a peewee80, then the 84 YZ80 , that was awesome, then XR 250 , loved every moment.

@chrisrobison6469 Год назад

Guys I love watching yalls videos, I was born in 1972 and rode bikes my whole life. I started on a 1985 yz80, then moved to the rm125 in 87, then the kx250 in 88. I'm in Alabama and me and my cousin both raced 88. kx250 over in Bremen GA for years. I love the 1980s 2strokes and back then you never would have convinced me a 4stroke would be the future, but what did I know lol!!

@chrisrobison6469 Год назад

I promise if I'm ever up your way I'm coming by to visit!!

@getsomepack 4 года назад

So cool! Would love to see you guy’s rip around on some old school 2 stroke quads! Keep up the awesome work

ANOTHER BAD ASS KAPLIN VIDEO❗️MY FAVORITE YEAR KAWASAKI IS 89 I REMEMBER I HAD A 1989 KX 80 LOVED THE SIMPLE ALL GREEN BIKE WITH & SIMPLE BLUE KX 80, 125, 250 OR 500 GRAPHICS ON THE SHROUD & SIMPLE BLUE SEAT❗️MAN I LOVED MY 1989 KX 80❣️ THANKS SR. & JR. FOR A LOOK BACK IN TIME❗️🤙✌️

@MiZoW 4 года назад

You guys are awesome LOL. The yoga stuff was hilarious. That's a mean ass KX. It's such a good looking bike, man.

@korymanuel6759 4 года назад

Ken Kaplan you are the man awesome videos great bikes all around just awesome

@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443 4 года назад

My only knock against the KX500 is that the last styling update was in '88, and its thiccer than the CR5..

@stefanrandall8345 4 года назад

Hahahaha " there's people doing yoga" Ken SR. ...braaap! braaaaap! braaaaap!...lol

@matthewrenninghoff5757 3 года назад

Great looking bike and awesome compound you have there. I've lived in CT my whole life and besides some of the crazies its really a beautiful state.

@kylelangworthy9641 4 года назад

Is it just me I have a 98 KX250 and those older ones like that 89 just sound like they have more power that thing sounds like a 500 almost

@AbcAbc-ox6pg 3 года назад

Exactly what I thought! The '89 bikes were awesome, no matter if CR, RM, KX or YZ.

@samueldominic1746 4 года назад

Another nice running bike can’t wait to get a 500 from y’all 2021

@ronaldtartaglia4459 4 года назад

Kaplan landscaping! HELL YEAH!!!!

@richardfireone 2 года назад

Absolutely died laughing and came back to life with this one. In the first seconds i was thinking man i hope he owns all that land cuz the neighbors must cringe then the yoga class was out there and Kaplan says this is moto yoga! Breath in breath out little KX

@cryodilldillpickle2411 Год назад

Love the bike.im slowly restoring the one i got from by bro can't wait to ride

@kenjuicekrajewski9577 4 года назад

Jeff ward. Won against new bikes riding the 87. But they detuned them from my 1983 kx 250. Brutal in every gear @ just about 50hp. Love my two kx 500s and my 83 kx 250 for 15 years now. Great video

@charliecharliecharliecharl8554 2 месяца назад

I really liked the 88 with the blue side number plate Think because I knew someone who had that year

@ryandeboer9584 3 года назад

That’s called making tater tots ripping through grass like that. Nothing like a nice Kwacker with a green background. 👍🏻

@bobsugrue2703 3 года назад

Might be the greatest sound ever.

@getoffmygrass6974 4 года назад

2nd cold kick Kap! These bikes are all on point and sound the business. I'm surprised I haven't seen any late 80's RM's beside that one when you purchased them all. I can only imagine how hard it is to find those straight let alone cherry. What other dirt bikes besides two strokes double their showroom value after 30 years? Straight up Ass Kicker!

@getoffmygrass6974 Год назад

@@rickwaldron4255 it’s been almost 15 years since I’ve rode an 80 but when I did, KX hands down was the fastest 80 I owned or rode, faster than the CR seat of pants. It basically comes down to the rider in any heat, CC’s being equal.

@michaelnesbitt4260 4 года назад

I had one when I was 15 , lol it spun 1-2-3 on the street then pulled a wheelie 4-5

@johnpena9165 Год назад

Nice KX 250, this bike was the last of the Japanese 250 two strokes to come with the conventional front forks in 1990 all the Japanese 250s came with the more ridged upside down forks !

A week later, they all left yoga classes and went and bought bikes

@vadimkargin3200 3 года назад

What a Rippa. I have 89 kx125. I can only imagine that 250 kips power band.

@NoSleepTilGitmo Год назад

"Moto Yoga" lol too funny!!!

@jessejarzabski5076 4 года назад

damn that thang looks like it hits haaarddd off the rip....torqe monster for a 250........that kips design really works well throughout the powerband.....suspension looks plush as hell.....suppose its set up a bit soft at the moment....im sure u could dial it up a bit stiffer for jumps and such.....kawis always had great suspension back in the day

@MAKEUSICK2 4 года назад

That thing is clean! But, is that an 88 tank? Seems taller than I remember. 89 had a lower profile tank I thought. I had a 89 KX125 I bought from local Texas pro Dennis Hawthorne. Was faster than my 87 KX250.

@derrickzenner9300 4 года назад

I completely agree with your tank comment's

@localenterprisebroadcastin5971 4 года назад

You should be paid just to represent these old aw some two strokes 😂👍 another great bike from Kaplan

@chaseme930 3 года назад

Is that an old track in the field? Looks like jumps and berms and lights?

@KaplanCycles 3 года назад

Yes...long story.

@chuckp2434 3 года назад

I had the same bike when I was younger. My father came home drunk and decided to try burnouts in the garage, the rear tire grabs the pavement and bounced him off every wall in the garage and he laid it down and tore his work pants open, lol
