That is the most American sports suit I've seen. GOD bless you sir and GOD bless the greatest country on the planet. America 🇺🇸 may your shoulder get better friend
True work of art right there I think something people forget is yes it took him 35 hours to polish that head but now you have to keep it that nice keep it that polished and clean so it stays nice. True commitment and craftsmanship
I had new 1982 Honda 185s ATC my parents got me for my 12th bday. It was so easy to ride. Automatic clutch. Easy shift pattern 5 down. We took it everywhere. WAS SO MUCH FUN. This 500cc two stroke ATC blows my mind.
I'm ordering the trike conversion kit from BVC trikes for my 2002 Honda cr250r. I've been saving up for the last 3 years ever since seeing their work. Cannot wait to ride on 3 wheels again. Grew up on a big red. My cousin rode on the back with no shoes on (against my advice) and we rolled it and her pinky toe got cutoff by the chain and rear sprocket. Soo many memories on these things. Thanks for sharing Kap! 🤘🇺🇸🏍️ You're an inspiration and one day I'm gonna fly up north and take a classic 2 stroke dirtbike off your hands. Hope y'all have a great 4th of July weekend!
Kaplan i know you run a motorcycle museum but i aswell as some other fans im sure would love to see more classic atc's and 2 stroke quads... I look forward to your videos each day, awesome content 🇺🇸
Holy crap!!! That bike is ATC is Bad to the Bone!!!! Thankyou for sharing that Ken , totally Awesome!!!!! On another note , sad news from california , the Oceano Dunes " Pismo Beach " is being shut down within 3 years 😪 The frieking Sierra Club and other tree hugger groups finally managed to get the only riding area in central california shutdown 🤨 Though I don't ride sand/dirt anymore , it makes me really sad that kids these days are going to miss out on camping right on the beach and dunes and being able to ride and take in the scenery along the Pacific Ocean right there , it just totally stinks!!!! Thanks for all you do keeping bikes and trikes alive Ken , I Salute you!!!!
You’re my hero captain used to own a 250R ATC unbelievable that thing is amazing and you have an amazing place I have to come there me and my friends will
I grew up on atc 250R's!!!!!! Still ride them today, never owned a quad, trioe life rite here!!!!! This would be a hell of a good time!!!!! BRAAAAAAAAPPP!!!!! 🤘😁🤘
When I used to race 3 wheelers on flat track back in the 80s i always felt like my ass was hanging off the back of them like on a kid bike . 3whellers were king in the 80s. Loved my Kawasaki tecate 😪
I was waiting for this 1, Cant believe the builder would sell , This one is a keeper Kap , take it to Sand Mountain and show them whose Boss. That 500 is the King of ATC's ! Way more than a Bike its a Work of Art !
My brother used to have a 250 and that was blisteringly fast. With the 500 engine in that thing it must be an absolute monster 90 rear wheel hp Jesus I don’t think that would be rideable if the swing arm wasn’t extended. But of course i guess if anyone was going to build one it’d be you sir another amazing job. Been binge watching your channel over lockdown and being a bike guy absolutely love seeing all these gorgeous truly unbelievable bikes especially the single cylinder big bore’s as you very,very rarely if ever see them anymore especially over here in Scotland you are a true American idol mate god bless and stay safe. P.S sorry if this was a bit long but i almost never comment on video’s but i just had to say you are living the dream man your son must be so proud 👌👍🏴subbed.
@@KaplanCycles wow thank you sir 1st for replying just show’s how still grounded you are and appreciate your fans which I’m sure you have a lot of and 2nd your content is unmatched on UA-cam you should be on tv there are a lot of bike channels but none of them even come close to what you do and the absolutely gorgeous pristine condition you’re bike’s are in the work that must go into them your like the west coast customs of the bike world absolute masterpiece’s. I know the word legend gets thrown around a lot by younger people to the point where it’s almost lost it’s meaning but me at 44 (well 45 in two days) have only ever called one other man a legend and you my friend are the second as I said before your son must be so proud as I’m sure you are of him god bless your whole family. Stay safe mate🙏👍🏴
Craig thank you so much I really appreciate the positive feedback and compliments. We are definitely all in on this and giving 110% 24x7 365. I hope the world notices before im too old lol
@@KaplanCycles What do you mean hope the world notices before your too old? Trust me buddy i guarantee you the world notices especially the dirt bike community not just notices but is in aw at how you bring these dirt bikes back to better than when they were straight from the factory what you do is without a doubt truly amazing being one of those dirt bike guy’s I’ve honestly never not once saw one of your videos and went ah that bike was nice but it could’ve looked nicer if he had did this or that you literally always as you Americans say knock it out of the park (clear into the next state) lol every time. And it’s not just the build’s neither you actually get to ride the bikes i mean wow like i said you are living the dream of every dirt biker not only in America but all over the world. When you unveil your new build telling people what you did and how you did it people especially dirt bike riders I’m certain can tell as you said you are going all in all the time. Then you start the bike up and show them it’s not just a shower but a goer. Just let me simply put it this way I’m from a small town in Edinburgh most people have never heard of and every bike anyone has no matter how nice and new someone will say if you think that’s nice you should check out Ken Kaplan’s channel it’ll blow your mind. Sorry it took me so long to reply I’ve been playing video games with my nephew thank you so much for taking time out your day to reply to me bud and always remember legends may get old but they never die and are certainly never forgotten.
Dude took his time on that build! You are lucky guy to buy that from him. Not a big fan of extended swing arms… but that is prolly what you need for the power that CR500 throws down!
I've never ridden anything more than a 300 but from what I hear the high cc 2 strokes have decent torch as well as the crazy top power. 500 cc 2 strokes would be awesome for quads and 3 wheelers
Wow, never seen a Demond like it! . I think it would definitely dislocate my reconstructed shoulder. Looks like a piece of art! The cylinder looks insane. 👌
Just came home from racing my screaming eagle at Red Bud- only 2 smokers in 30 B class, one was ktm 150 from Rhode island local southwick rider. What a good way to decompress with badass 500 smoker. Sick. 🤘🤘🇺🇸
That long swing arm keeps the front wheel on the ground too, it's a shame there isnt snow on the ground... that would be a blast with the paddles.... speaking of snow... ice oval on your pond?????? Food for thought.. keep on keepin' on
That thing is sick. I had one a few years back but not that Nice.The kick starter tacks the most work. I still have my outlaw pipe. Only thing I would change is that gas Cap, it's needs an 86 gas cap.
Those 500 3wheelers were the norm at Glamis back in the late 80's and 90's even a kawasaki 500 3wheeler a saw there that was fastest thing at Oldsmobile hill until Laeger showed up with his duall cr 500 engine quad hill shooter. Even a tz 750 engine banshee was there in the early 90's. It was an awesome time to see those wild creations. The late Sam Moreno of Sam n Ed's cycle with his 4cylinder 4stroke big block turbo nitrus quad was king of the hill back then. I miss talking shop with him.
That looks like the most dangerous thing in the world to ride. Looks so fun.
check out the trikes australia post use....death traps!!!

Grew up on 3 wheels and 2. It was so much fun letting my friends try and ride my 3 wheelers. Never failed they always tried driving up their own legs.
Oh yeah, I've done that before way back in the day. Companies finally wised up and put foot plates on them.
the motor sounds so crisp. it revs quick no stumble nada! that is a serious machine!.
I thought my 250R was fast. I can’t imagine it with a 500 strapped to the frame!
That thing is nasty ! Absolutely beautiful !
That’s unbelievable it’s the best 3 wheeler I’ve ever seen!!
This guy always finds the top of the line trickest nicest bikes. If I was gonna be looking for mint bike pieces he is the man. No expense spared.
That is beautiful. I had a 250r trike and it never sounded like that. Awesome. Look at those tires made for sand all day long. Love this channel.
I had new 1982 Honda 185s ATC my parents got me for my 12th bday. It was so easy to ride. Automatic clutch. Easy shift pattern 5 down. We took it everywhere. WAS SO MUCH FUN. This 500cc two stroke ATC blows my mind.
As an 80s baby and 2 stroke lover all my life all I can say is this is the baddest trike I've ever seen!
That thing is a beast!!🐲
I remember living in Cali and going to the desert, these bikes were the thing to have but this is on another level. That motor is beautiful. 🇺🇸
Why would anyone want an atc over an atv in the desert? Just curious on your opinion...ive ridden and owned both many times
@@JH-jd8ip back in the day the atc was the thing but today I would take the quad all day long. I guess it’s a nostalgia thing.
@@73macrino I completely understand and agree. Sorry, I just didn't realize you were talking about that long ago.
@@JH-jd8ip no worries. They were a big hit back when but so dangerous

I was wondering how you put a bold underline under atc 500 in the title but it was my eyebrow on the phone screen, good morning you crazy bastards
Kaplan i know you run a motorcycle museum but i aswell as some other fans im sure would love to see more classic atc's and 2 stroke quads... I look forward to your videos each day, awesome content 🇺🇸
Hell yeah I asked about a week ago for a liquid cooled trike video and you said one was coming, this definitely exceeded my expectations

Huge fan, can’t wait to buzz over from pomfret to see what looks like an amazing store! Only bringing 1000! 😂
Just what you need on that property when you wake up to get the mail ;-D
Man, I could use that to get my mail, I'm in Arizona and have desert property, with a sand wash to cross to get to the mailbox !
I loved riding 3 wheelers
Did he jump on the first rev lol killer bike man I wish they would bring back the 250r 4 wheeler at least.
Amen to that Brother. 👍
My neighbor had an 86 trx250r that still had the original tires from 86 on it when he sold it to a guy up north. He barely ever rode it.
TRX 250 tremendous quad.
Thats just insanity on 3 wheels.
Awesome build!! Absolutely beautiful machine!!👍🏻
You guys never disappoint w showcasing the most innovative and groundbreaking machines
You got that right man!! They are the Best in the East Coast
THE BAR HAS JUST BEEN RAISED!!!! That is one heck of an ATC. Full credit to its creators.
When you’re too old to race but you still wanna break some bones 😂👍 gotta love everything that’s going on with that ATC ❤️
That is one Serious Microphone! 🎤
Man that is nice. One of the nicest two stroke engines I have seen. And yes the seat is sweet to.

Hope you feeling better Kap! Love your Videos! Thank you for being Awesome! Big Fan from Pennsylvania!
Thats lovely fair play he did an excellent job building that well done 👏
Looks like Death on 3 wheels .but it is awesome.
Dude took his time on that build! You are lucky guy to buy that from him. Not a big fan of extended swing arms… but that is prolly what you need for the power that CR500 throws down!
Love it. I have owned every 3 wheeler Honda ever made .love to have 1 of these.
I love it. Beautiful machine and top notch craftsmanship.
You could or should make just as much of a badass poster of this beauty.That is one beautiful trike.
What a beautiful machine...thank you for sharing ... long live 2 strokes ..
Someone needs to bring out their tecate 500 now
Badass!!! Had a super clean 86 250r. Loved it! Too bad that beast is so far away from the west coast and Glamis / Pismo..... Its home! 👍
wow that trike is definitely the most awesome build of 2021. thumbs up !!
Wow 90 hp what a machine and wheres the front brake 🔥😂
Brakes only slow you down!
The throttle is the brake
Dont need brakes going uphill
Holy molyyyy💨💨💨💨 best Build ever!!!
Oh my god ! That is the most beautiful beast !
I've never ridden anything more than a 300 but from what I hear the high cc 2 strokes have decent torch as well as the crazy top power. 500 cc 2 strokes would be awesome for quads and 3 wheelers
Now that's a beautiful monster! I don't even ride motorcycles. I plan on getting my first bike soon 🏍
What do you like atvs or dirt bikes
Man, now that is bad ass, let's go to the dune's, I had a 84 250R and a 86 250R, what a blast !
Wow, never seen a Demond like it! . I think it would definitely dislocate my reconstructed shoulder. Looks like a piece of art! The cylinder looks insane. 👌
The name fits! What a SICK SICK RIDE!
Broke a collar bar . busted a couple of ribs. The 250 s were fun ) Gotta love the 2 Strokes ; )
Just came home from racing my screaming eagle at Red Bud- only 2 smokers in 30 B class, one was ktm 150 from Rhode island local southwick rider. What a good way to decompress with badass 500 smoker. Sick. 🤘🤘🇺🇸
That long swing arm keeps the front wheel on the ground too, it's a shame there isnt snow on the ground... that would be a blast with the paddles.... speaking of snow... ice oval on your pond?????? Food for thought.. keep on keepin' on
Some machine that fella! your channel is brilliant with all you guys do, love these types of videos
Take her to Sand Mountain Nevada
Wow!!!! Only thing I would change is that silly front number plate… 😍🤙
Yes, that is most definitely one BADD ASS MACHINE!!! Congrats to whoever ends up owning it !!!
Yeah the extended swing arm makes it look badass too !!
Incredible machine 👏🏼👏🏼
Damn. That's a far cry from my 1984 200M. Amazing build.
I use to run a KX500 standard swingarm, and ATC 250R with extended swingarm at Monson Kenny. This thing would be sick there.
My cousin had a three wheeler. We called it the leg munchers lol. Be safe out there guy. That thing it mint
I have a 350x completely refinished it looks great.
Wow nice machine! You dont see 3 wheelers like that anymore. Real nice!👍
That's an act of pure awesomeness my bro!
That powerband is so lovely
I was lucky enough to have two of the best atc's ever made, the 85 250R, and the 86 350X, love them, I'm praying for your potty mouth brother
I bought a brand new 84 Tecate, flipped it the first day.lol I'm praying hard for your pretty mouth brother
That's awesome definitely a hold my beer and watch this moment
Legend has it that everything is brand new and no corners cut
all i remember with my friends running three wheelers in the 80s was broken bones lol brings back memories.
Crisp running monster piece of art!!!!!!!!!!
I built a 86 250r cr500 conversion back in 89😁 I still make that face when I remember it 🤣
That is the baddest machine I have ever seen! I had the 250R, and still have it, needs rebuilt
That thing is sick. I had one a few years back but not that Nice.The kick starter tacks the most work. I still have my outlaw pipe. Only thing I would change is that gas Cap, it's needs an 86 gas cap.
That is an absolutely awesome machine!!!
Yes! 90hp is impressive. Pristine machine. Do you ever get any speedway bikes in your museum?
That's sweet. I like the Suzuki 500 quadzilla but this is way cooler custom build. Sweet. Wow what a machine. Thank you ☺️❤️

Great way to start off July!!
Love the Type R touch!
Two words BAD ASS.
gorgeous.... pure art
You have a beautiful property
That thing is awe inspiring! Wow!
I got to say you show some amazing machines
This guy has the nicest bikes I ever seen 😍🤤.
The Wood's, Marine Exhaust Systems in South Florida build a CR 500 3 wheeler in 1984. Lots of aluminium and titanium
Not a fan of 3 wheelers, but this thing is cool .. Sounds Perfect 👍
Amazing straight line weapon !!
That axle is almost certainly polished chromoly steel. Amazing atc!
That's not a monster,it's a frigging wild animal!Holy mackerel, this thing is insane,what a beaut!💪💪💪👊👍
Wow man you guys come across some of that most bad ass bikes I've ever seen.
