  • First time out since the complete restore of this 1987 CR500.
    Completed the build 3-4 years ago.
    It SCREAMS.
    Let me know what you think!

    Yes, your clip did touch me, I have a 82 CR480R , so I know how much power the CR500 has.
    Sadly here in Germany it is hard to find places to ride those bikes, that's why I like your video....

    Is that the Toyota from back to the future? Just need the roll bar and KC lights. You should climb the backside next time! I think its a bit steeper, plus that bowl to the climb is sickkkk ! I might be mistaken, been years since ive been on the backside of sand mountain.

    Well I think I'm that one guy that you hopefully we're going to inspire because that was sure awesomeness I think I may have found somebody more obsessed with dirt bikes than me well for that matter two strokes I'm going to absolute to smoker fanatic and I love in the hyper smooth GoPro high quality video I got a hero 5 and it just has the regular image stabilization and I try to stay aware of that when I'm making the video and making my movements extra smooth so by the time the GoPro puts the together it's hyper smooth all its own but I think I'm going to get a hero 10 or whatever here real soon after seeing that and the real beauty and mystique of all that is just a sense of perspective and how far and distant everything is but it looks like you can almost reach out and touch it and grab it and it must always have the crazy sensation if you're topped wide open in fifth and there's no surrounding visual cues for you to relay how fast you are going it can almost seem like you're standing still while going nearly a hundred miles an hour that is ultimately an utterly fascinating power brains perceive things and how they get it wrong and how nature even gets it wrong but anyways I got a 89 and 94 CR250 that I've been slowly resurrecting over the past few years as well as why is he 215 modern aluminum frame and 2001 KX125 but if I wanted to hit those dunes man that's when you really need that 500 power condos are just the best my 89 is just built so well it still feels fresh and just the build quality is amazing for back then and how good it still is with all of the original components in the motor I only have probably a little over 100 hours total on a bike's life and it's almost perfect I even got the title and I'm the second owner laugh out loud........ But yeah these old Honda two smokers are just the s*** oh and by the way I love the fireplace I think I may have a backdrop like that that may be helping me get to sleep better LOL I never thought of that until I seen it
