The Perfect 1989 CR500 

Those bikes still look awesome 34 years later.And they go like a cut cat.

Finally somebody who rides it like it's stolen! I've searched for a while now on RU-vid all of them carefully riding it around the track - understandable:))

massive respect to you whilst not letting go of the power band,it takes balls on a 500 to do that,respect from the uk from an oldschool rider from the 90,s

Thank Japan🇯🇵

That was my bike when I attended CU Boulder in 1988-1991. I used to take it out by myself off highway 36 and literally scare the shit out myself and while enjoying the adrenaline rush of surviving. A rocket ship beast.

Awesome CR500! I have a 1990 CR500. Long live the 2-stroke!🤟🏻

The cr500r is the greatest motocross bike all time

My dream bike! Such a beautiful bike I'm jealous for sure. They're getting harder and harder to find. In my opinion the best of the cr bikes was the 1989. I wish they still made race bikes like these. The new ones I can't even get with what the industry has done to the plastics design and don't get me going about how they need to bring back the entire 2 stroke line up. Other than the 89 cr bikes the 90's 2 strokes are my favorite.

Very nice riding. Just finished my full 89 CR500 restore.

Only set back is they were so soft hard to get it I line when she was loaded im 52 and this brings me back. Did you see the rear fender on start up every time that piston fired it would flex some serious nuts

I was raised on a 2 stroke. Miss that sound, that powerband, mixing my gas... the good ol days

It sounded really healthy and you rode it like you stole it kudos 👍👍👍

Fucken beast

89 one of the most perfect looking bikes ever made. I’ll get one some day.

Great year89. Nasty bike

Best sounding idle I have heard in years!!!!

My dream bike 😥😀 one day one day a 89 cr 500 awsomeness right here

When he first kicked it over it sounded like you’ve installed a decompression valve?

Every man should have one.

Zoomers cry watching this because there's no apps, traction control or dorky power modes on it lol.

The only stroke is a 2 Stroke….Period…..

I had a go of a CR500 1988 and it made my arms 2 inches longer, true story.

Buen piloto y buena maquina japonesa ...los dos tiempos suenan muy bonitas mejores ..

Badass Bike! I’ve been planning to get an old CR 250 but after watching your CR 500 videos I think I’m gonna have to go all the way and get a 500 lol

Beautiful! Sounds so good. Best looking year in my opinion. Blood red frame. I just finished restoring one. Video on my channel. 😎💪

That was almost the same bike that Robbie knievel was riding at ceasars palace in Las Vegas. Rest in peace robbie knievel. Hopefully the legacy will live on. The cr500 is a beast.

Sweeet. What a shame the new Cr 450 are a joke vs these 2 strokers. Beautiful bikes pre 2000 or so when kept em 2 stroke. 4 strokes are for trail riding , my son has 2019. 450. It's not like these 2 strokers. I had an kx 490 and it was sweet as well. 2 stroke are my fave

Heck yeah!!! Killer machine, killer video. And no annoying music throughout the vid. You let the 2-banger supply the music. And the riding was off the chain. Love it. Keep it up!!!

やっぱ2st最強やな 復活してほしいわ

Beautiful bike! Great riding!

Friggin’ money…awesome rider…no number plates…mike drop at the end…2stroke money! Nice work!

Awesome bike , I've got an 87 cr 500 I've been slowly restoring for a few years should be as tidy I hope ...I'm old an bought up on 2 strokes , any old skool 2 stroke big bore rider will say "" frankly my dear ; I don't give a damn if your new bike handles better...don't care in the slightest , not interested...those big bore 2 strokes that torque , smell and noise is highly addictive...

I used to own a 1989 CR250 in 1992 lovely bike but the Problem was the Power Valve used to Clog up over time!

Used to bomb up and down old railway line tracks 2 up on it sh1tting ourselves because it was so fast and full on power ( for 2 13yr olds it was an animal !!) 🤣😅😂👍😉

My local Honda dealer wouldn’t let me ride a CR 500…he said you don’t want that…..good advice…..😂😂

CR 500..the best Moto Cross bike ever.

Is it too powerful? Yes. Is it a man killer? Yes. Do you need it? No. Are you going to buy one anyways? Merica.

Not even hitting the powerband NICE. (Some nuts, I'll say that) .

that’s a lot of bike folks. i had RM 500 in 1983. sure wish i held on to it.

I love the sound of the CR two stroke.

Love the cr500 and cool stuff how you hold it wide open in the whoops with the front wheel off the ground, yee ha dude 🏍️👍😊

88 and 89 are the best looking years for Honda imo. I absolutely love these older Hondas!!!!

Elle nous manque, 500 KX 👆❤️, aujourd'hui 450 4T 🙌🤔😂

I wouldn't change a thing on that bike she really is perfect!

if you could make a vibrator rattle like a cr 500 it would be a big saler

I love you guys, and ladies. Who ever it is at the team who made this masterpiece video. Extra super turbo charged Buddha thanks, for not putting any music over the the real music of the engine. 100% Sound orgasm!!! It's made my day!!! Thanks again!!! 🙏

Completely Bad Ass!

That’s 1 Gorgeous Trench Digger………..

Iron arms guy ;)

Wow!. It's not common to see somebody ringing one of those out!! 💩 Raw display of skill 🏁

My son has 3 91 and up cr500s he upgrades the Brakes and suspension and carburetor which makes them more enjoyable and save he also does the same to his kw 500 and his Rm250

I had a 1989 CR250 and a 1995 CR500 👌

Ont voit les professionnels de becane. 👍😉

Put it in a modern frame and battle 450's

Una maravilla de máquina japonesa....

Хотел спросить вы его не продаёте?

I say…if you can start it, you can ride it

That's great and what an awesome backdrop.

Hahaha.. it commands respect

125でもバカ速いのに500とかw

BEAST

What a hell of a Ryder WOW 😮

I had a Marine Corps buddy who had a new '89 CR500 back then. He didn't believe in suspension preload (thought it was a waste of travel) and dialed all of it out of his shock. He was essentially riding a pogo stick. I was behind him on my XR600R when he hit a pebble. What unfolded next looked like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. He turned into a moving dust cloud with an arm, a leg, a wheel, occasionally popping out of said dust cloud. It was hilarious! He became a believer in preload. It renewed my faith as well.

Thats the best looking, sounding and ridden 500 ive ever seen 😎

Старушка Лупит дай бог

Pure Metallica sound

Bad Ass Guys....I had a 1989 CR80R when I was a kid back in the early 90's.

Beautiful bike...the sound and smell I want to wake up to every morning. 2 stroke 4 life! 💯

1989 and better than many of new bikes

I've been on a cr500 and it's scarey but I was on the road and every gear I jumped into the front wheel came up. That's when I said take this dam thing I'm sticking with my rm250. Lol

great sound. I prefer the older design of the front fenders.

I love this bike

Tame the red dragon.👍

No real change to that bike for it's 13 years of production, only slight suspension tweaks valving etc and graphics/livery....Legend!

Fmf ❤️❤️❤️

Good run good biles 😊🎉❤

Ah the late 80's pinnacle of beautiful design and power&torque to go with. Can't get any better and it didn't.

Nice video on a monster dirt bike.

I got one. Never sell it.

Conozco y me gustan como suenan los motores 2 tiempos pero el del CR500 da miedo.🔥

most bad ass bike ever

Still looks Good and fast for 30+ yrs old, Great riding also

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (Jn.3:13-21)

If you have 'riding a CR500' on your bucket list, be sure to do it last.

Coolest shit ever!

Sembra uscita ieri😮

Finally a cr without some tacky looking graphics

lol, 1989. No hate, but only the frame and revived engine. Rest of the bike is brand new. Nice ride and that exhaust looks wicked!

Good to see one of these beasts again… Back in the day (around 1991/92 we had a CR500 and a CR125. Both amazing and great fun!

I’m not a fan of 2 strokes, but old MX bikes like the CR500 have a special place in my heart

Insanity pure

Beautiful

And you rode it excellent

Ich ɓewundere die Fahrer immer auf tiefste, das sind wahre Motorrad Künstler!

Perfect 2stroke 500 bike 👌😳

Old School Flexin on the god father of 2 strokes 💪

Stupid fast 🔥

Road it like a beast!!!

Nice vid, nice sounds!

total piece of crap bike, I owned one and got 1st place in the open class at the 1989 VCGP. I should of won the overall if that bike was not so shitty. But I was coming off a couple years of riding YZ490's and thought it was god's gift compared to those pieces of crap. 1987 Honda CR500 was all the shits.
