We’re taking a look at my entire Honda CR500/big bore bike collection. The Honda big bore bikes in my collection run from 1981 CR 450 to 1997 CR500. A few of them I race, the remaining I have in my collection that are fully restored. We’ve covered some of these bikes in detail in separate videos on my RU-vid channel. Any of the bikes we haven’t yet covered, we will be doing in-depth videos on in the next few weeks.
As a private party collector, I may have one of the largest Honda CR big bore collections....but we had to do a teaser title. I’m sure a few members and certainly museums have me beat on numbers. I have several bikes that are restored to original condition and some are original and have just been detailed/cleaned. Some I have restored and set up to ride and race and others I have restored to my personal liking. For those that do not get ridden and are fully restored I store them with no fuel in the tanks and if I did a full restoration on them I have not put gas in the tank since nor radiator fluid.
For racing, I am a big fan of 1981-1983 class (drum brake only) and 1984 - 1986 (front disc only). I feel these are the most fun and the bikes are closest to a modern feel you can get. They are a big difference from racing in the 1978-1980 class. You can still jump big jumps with these bikes and they take a beating.
Below are videos that cover each bike in great detail and how I obtained them. Next week, we will be going in-depth on one of the cleanest all original 1986 CR 500's I have ever seen. I am excited to see this video myself! Hope to see you at next weekend’s video.
