@@elitecystuning Not for a crosser, a 600 is to heavy trust me 2 strokes are much more fun. Ive owned pretty much every main dirt-bike/crosser there is at some point, and lots of other toys like rage buggys and quads so im not biased.
@@mad-pit3832 yea. my four stroke 2003 husaberg fx650e is lighter than a 2019 crf450r. Go ahead look it up. Its about the same as my yz250 And i could make it lighter by removing the starter and solenoid
@@alphonzo5812 brother lol my bikes whole other animal I’ve owned cr500 And kx500s didn’t come close to the pull my 628r has , takes out 450s Also! Ima video my bike and cHange the whole way ppl look at 4 strokes 🤘
That's how you ride a 2 stroke.I hate videos when someone just cranks one up and then turns it off.Ride it like you stole it.2 strokes truck 4 strokes suck.Keep up the good work.
I hate to be a Debbie downer but I gotta be honest - it really breaks my heart that you guys even have to sell or part ways with these beautiful, incredible machines. So many of these amazing bikes y'all have shown us with these videos would be an excellent addition to your museum. Times as they are though I suppose, we all have to just be grateful for what God has given us. God bless Kaplan America!
Amen brother. A little piece of me dies inside as each of these beauties pass through our fingers. Comforted with the knowledge they are going to a good home.
Raffle off one of those 500s , I’ll take plenty of tickets lol!!! Never catch me on a 450. They are a dime a dozen super common . Nothing beats the sound of a 2stroke any size screaming through the woods!
Some boy on a 500 or any bike snr and junior top men bad ass videos and the pride and joy they put into bikes is unbelievable love watching keep up the good work guys you are all amazing 👍
Ridden all sorts of bikes over 50 years but 40 years ago dauly ride was Kawasaki 500 H1 then rode a CR500 Red Rocket still remember taking off in 2nd ........yep eventually it spat me off, what a beast.....and that sound.
I wanna make a trip to come check out the shop and bikes so bad! Definitely on my list of to do’s! I have been watching for the past year, year and a half. Every video gets me psyched to ride!
Beautiful ride, I just bought a 95 XR600 +.30 Scott Summers replica. Not exactly cherry yet I'd say it's about 7/10. But that's all gonna change here shortly. I tried to hold bike up like Summers used to do back in the day, the picture says it all cuz my face was the same color as the seat...
I have a 1998 CR 500 the motor has never been touched but compression is really weak so I parked it what do you think it would cost to do a complete restoration on it parts and labor I’ve been riding dirt bikes since I was three years old and for my 21st birthday my dad bought me the 98 CR 500 from a friend of his who bought it new absolutely the best balanced dirt bike I have ever owned love my 500 have been talking about getting it restored from the frame up everything for the past couple years just looking for someone that would do it correctly I live in the St. Louis area please hit me back with someone you recommend and a roundabout figure on dollars please and thank you and God bless love your channel and I love how you kept the steel frame I’ve never ridden one with a aluminum frame but I absolutely love my stock with the steel frame again God bless y’all
@@KaplanCycles 😂, I love that one too, “Feast your eyes fellas, this thing will RRRR RRRRR RRRRIP YOUR HOUSE OFF ITS FOUNDATIONS, Bristling with trickery and wizard tuned”, luv em all, keep ‘em come mate hahaha 😂👍🇦🇺🍻🍻
@@KaplanCycles Great job Sr.Be careful if You lose any more weight you won't be able to control that Beast.That front wheel will Never touch to ground.Gotta Love a really Nice CR 500,2 strokes RULE!!!
Absolutely bad ass! At first I was like…they never sold that? But it’s the sec one you’ve done. One of the baddest looking 500R’s the Peak Antifreeze bike…..👍🏻🔥💪🏻🇺🇸
Has anyone ever mentioned that this guy can ride anything on 2 wheels impressive
No. DISRESPECT TO YOU . BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO. IT IS fact of life. THE MX LIFE!
Open class 500 two strokes are a real kick in the ass. I loved riding them. Yamaha YZ 500 thé Maico 501, what a trench digger that beast was.
Now that's a dirtbike. I would rather have that than any new 450 out there.
that lawn's feeling like .....Chris Rock's cheek
Lol dude that stuff is everywhere

That SR snot on the clutch lever adds extra value
Finally someone who can hold a cr500 full throttle
This man has balls the size of grapefruit. Loving it.
I rode old 4 strokes for years, brought a CR250 and nearly killed myself in the first week.
Makes me happy seeing a 500 getting ripped around properly👌
Glad to see peeps share a 2 stroke passion like myself. I have 7 and love them all .
Actually looks really good White & Blue, got the Artic Frost look 💯
The first 2 minutes are so good, I had to watch again a couple of times 👍👍 proper oxygenation!! 😁 King 👑 of Ping 👊! 🏍🏁
Bikes badass! Was a pleasure delivering it for you guys
Trevor your Silverado tire fry video is 🔥 🇺🇸🤘🤘
So great to watch someone living the dream, greeting from down under 👍🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻
Probably the funnest scary bike I've ever owned. 18 and kicking around on this bike. Freaking sweet memories for sure
Best looking, best sounding, most fun you will ever have while digging rows deep enough to plant potatoes in your lawn! 😎👌
That's how you ride a 2 stroke.I hate videos when someone just cranks one up and then turns it off.Ride it like you stole it.2 strokes truck 4 strokes suck.Keep up the good work.
Thought I'd take a peek at the CR500🤪 That thing sounds fcukin mint blasting up HORSEPOWER HILL on the museum gardens🤣
👊✊️💥💨💨💨💨👍
he's plowing and spreading seeds at the same time, lawn season is coming!
"Hey you kids...get off my lawn!!!"
You should burn a cd with the pure sound of this bike rippin
That sounds unbelievable but also hats off for the riding too 😎
I owned 2 of them.
A CR500 1989, and a CR500 from 1993
Up there with coolest noises ever recorded 👌

The new CR500 "Yard Shredder addition"!!!
You guys are as always just........... GREAT! Always bring an instant smile to my face.
Dear lord. I had a 87 kx500 back in the early 90s I should have never sold.

Love seeing what you guys do to these bikes....absolute kick ass.
Kaplan's ripping it man... old man still got it.
That sound is sooo authentic
To say watching king ken torch that grass up makes my day is an understatement!! Brrrriiiippp
I revisit this particular video quite often, just to see and ear that absolute rippa doing what it was meant to do!
We gotta start planting spuds 🥔 in those ruts Ken.
I want one , and I gotta say he’s a pretty good rider and rides within the limits to ride another day👍
Did you have to put a new tire on the back after that demonstration?
Who needs a tractor with a PTO driven plough attachment when you can have a more quicker CR500 rear wheel?
Any closing thoughts? Yes, 2 strokes are king! 🤟
500cc Roto-tiller!
King of ping ! Sr throws it around like nothing.
Ken Kaplan 2024 !!
Kaplan riding it like it's a mini bike.
You need to build your own test track.
Love from 🏴
sweet looking 519,total golf course rippa !!
Awesome !! Awesome !! Awesome !!..watching Ken is great therapy for me.. and nice bike too.
😍😍😍and matching top 👌🏻fun day every day for the Kaplan crew👍🏻
Look up the definition of BADASS in the dictionary...and this bike will be spread over both pages.

Who owns the houses next door??, they must love you 😂 they must be 2 smoke fans 🤟🏻.
Sr & Jr
Who needs a lawn mower when you can have a CR500 till it up for you?
That’s so insane how much and how high this thing kicks up dirt
0:55# is probably my favorite "BLAT!" I've ever heard
On the seventh day God created the 500 to move the earth and create the heavenly sounds of thunder like no other!

That CR is the fucking TRUTH. I want it so bad.
He's popping a wheelie and it's practically still idling 🤣🤣
Just build the Mx track that needs to be there for that five huney!
One careful owner
NO TEST PILOTS ALLOWED
That bike should be rippin' it on a golf course 😆

SR is really starting to fly with the loss of weight. Need some weight with a CR500 to get the power down to the ground.

I am sure the foundation on the museum has a few more cracks in it....
I love how Sr. Gives its all gas
