- Definitely the fastest vintage dirtbike I've ever been on. Also great bike to ride with good suspension and decent brakes. And it always starts first kick😄 The bike is still in it's break-in period!

You can't beat that sound
Beautiful Bike.
My best friend and I grew up well into our 30's riding dirtbikes everyday.
During the "500" years this would be us in the pits, we spent most our time making and hitting jumps..
Then one day at "The Dump", there was this older guy in his 50's riding a CR500 on the track.. Just Rippin' like he was on a 250! Wildest memory I have of that pit, absolutely fearless!
It was the only time in our lives we ever watched somebody actually "Rippin'" a 500 like it was meant too!
Yep, that was definitely the sound of the 80s and early 90s. No matter where you were, it seems you’d hear dirt bikes somewhere off in the distance.
@@jamiel9902 That’s awesome
When I was a kid that's how we went to a friend's house..
One of my most favorite sounds!! Bad ass bike! I grew up on 2 strokes and will always favor them over any four stroke.
2 Strokes are awesome
Amen🦾🔥
Had the CR 250 and it was a hang on for dear life machine can’t imagine what the 500 would have been like. Great memories from great times
I bought my 85 for $600 in 91. Hated that tiny kickstarter! But the bike was a beast. Hearing the bike in the video almost brings tears to my eyes, thinking back when my friends and i were in are early 20s, going riding all weekend. Before you know it, youre 55 years old. Dont wait to do things in life. It'll be gone before you know it.
I love the feeling of being connected to those old bikes. You knew what they wanted and how to treat them to get what you wanted. So much fun!
The 1985 CR 500 was the most violent open bike Honda ever built.
84 air cooled was no joke either . Never saw another 500 keep up with them.
Man shit!💯🤟.
Hell yeah...total beast of a bike.
The 85 was more violent that’s the 84. Ride both and the 85 engine was a beast. Suspension sucked
@@stevesmith756 I was there back in the day. I rode them all. Lucky my was 17 in 85
I can confirm that👍
Don't care if it's a a CR8O or CR500, they are all awesome! Loved my 250 Elsinore
@@travisb2654 That’s why I have a Yamaha Yz 50, Suzuki Rm 80 etc… because they are all fun and awesome
That guy knows how to start a 500. I still have my 85,86 and 88 along with a couple of 480’s. My 85 still scares the shit out of me. Short rod and quick revs with the front wheel in the air all day long. She sounds crisp and don’t sell it because you will regret it.
Thank you! Awesome bikes for sure!
Yes,definitely never sell it. The likliness of you getting your hands on another one are slim
Fun fact: The cr500 can sense any shit in you... the powerband adjusts accordingly to remove it 🫡
I had the 85 CR 250 gave me all the power I needed for a race The 500 was just an animal.
The good ole days!!! Let’s get them back. That video makes me hungry!
I was only four when this bike was built. I can still remember the sound echoing around the famous Farleigh Castle circuit..... The sound of the 80s.
@@DanielSmith-v8i that’s awesome. A fresh Cr 500 is the coolest sound ever made
She doesn´t fume at all and sound very healthy. Nice one👍
Had an 88 CR500. It was a beast. Haul the front wheel from near idle in 5th and wheelie that thing for miles!
Oh how I loved mine. Others would get a huge running start to climb a big hill and few made it. I started at the bottom and flew up.
Brings back a lot of memories.
I had a 1986 with gold wheels.
I sold it and bought a 1991 KX500.
I had a CR80 when I was a kid & one day at the track a bloke turned up with a CR500. I had a go sat on the back & it was absolutely terrifying but brilliant at the same time.
@@GordonPhillips-uw2yt That’s awesome. Definitely a memory you’ll never forget!
Ahhhh 2 stroke, the good ole days
😅😅😅😅😅😅😊
Epic bike mate never sell it, yoy will only regret it, 82 480 sold 89 cr 250 sold :-( miss them more than my ex wife
I had a 1984 Husqvarna 500CR. Now that was a bike!
1975 Honda Elsinore CR125M was my first motocross motorcycle. Same exact sound, and the torque and speed of the bike was unbelievable.
Gotta hand it to the Japanese. They built quality motorcycles and engines.
I used to ride on a Quarry like that years ago in the UK
Brings back some good memories
Miss my 87 rocket ship. 500 2 strokes rule
Would be so rad if Honda released a retro line of 125-250-500 1985 CRs. I dont even ride anymore and would buy one.
Best motocross engine/bike ever made 💪😎🏆
So damn good that they
(38 years later)
can still hold thier own against 2023 450 4stroke motocross bikes
😥 and still regretting selling my old race bikes 83CR480 and 87CR-500 and now knowing just how much more that they're worth nowadays 🤑🤑
When I considered buying a 500R my buddy said to me, DO IT even if you just let sit its cool to look at! He wasnt kidding, I bought it and ride it 3 months a year and look at 9! And Fires up second kick with 9 month old gas. ( leaded Av. Gas us the best)
I LOVE DIRTBIKE VINTAGE ESPICIALLY HONDA CR 500 AND KX 500 CHEERS FROM MOROCCO BRO !
Raced my 86 cr500 for many years, loved it!

CR500's are so much fun to ride! Great video!!!
Thank you!
Big 2-strokes and that sound 💪 And not any visible smoke, damn thats EURO6 proved
Best dirt bike ever made
And a Bell Moto III! Your bike is jetted right, super crisp. The 85 CR500 was more violent than the 91 CR500 I had. My 91 was incredible, I never should’ve sold it. I missed it so much I decided to get another but found a mint 99 KX500 and honestly, it’s faster than the CR’s to me. The KX just doesn’t seem to turn as well. I’d love to add a CR500 to my stable.
Thank you!
Motos japonesas las mejores...los mejores ingenieros los japoneses ❤❤❤...y ese sonido de los dos tiempos es música de la mejor
BRAVO ALFREDO!!
Notice how he opens it up for a second or two and runs out of room in that huge pit...such awesome bikes...I wonder how fast they could go out on the salt flats completely wide open...you'd probably go back in time.
89 model was very violent and these were bought new they weren't wore out
Truly yours -widow maker
I thought that was the greatest bike ever!
I had a 1987…loved it!!!
Awesome bikes
Had that same bike for a few years ‘ love of my life!!
I had an 85 cr 500 fckn beast !!
Don't Forget the AIR-COOLED YZ-490....Had an 83' That'd DOO 💯+...Bout' DIED Few-Times On-IT😵💫
I had an 85 cr 500 back in the 90's,SOB never started on the first kick!!
@@ChadHawthorne-xn6ew That’s probably because off-road Hondas at that time made weak ignition systems. Brand new ignition system on this bike
Everyone has the coolest places to ride except me. Even in 1985
Love the sound!
Fantastic reminded me of the Dave Thorpe era
@@stevecurd9113 Awesome! He won the 500cc world title in 1985 with the factory Honda Cr 500
@TopRevs I watched a few of his races at Hawkstone Park back in the late 80's Thorpe & Gekoers dominated the 500's back then,you can't beat the sound of a CR500 on song
One of the best years of the 500.. Personally I like the 89 the most but regardless it's a mean mofo! Used to own a 82 cr480 and it was a rocket ship!
I had and raced the 84 500r and rode the 85, both extremely violent in the power band..
Love the air cooled 84 500
CR500, IT465, any of those big 2 smokers took balls to ride.
@@frankenstein-r7g Rarely use more than half throttle on the Cr 500
Best year!! Wheelies so nice
First and the most badass year for the watercooled Cr 500😄
Thanks for keeping it alive
Thanks for watching!
I terribly miss my two-stroke bikes. A whole 'nuther world . . .
Schene cykl . Pekna motorka
Old school 2 stroke muscle! Better know how to handle 500 cc of pure Honda CR power! That was one wicked ass bike! Had a 540 Husqvarna which was extremely bad ass! But wasn't nothing to a CR 500. Not to mention Husqvarna was all opposite controls. Left hand throttle, brake, clutch etc...
@@troylawson9094 yes! I’m no where near good enough ride to use this bike but its still so fun!
😉
What a sound!
lol 500 must be so insane! I once had a Cr125, and thought that was wild :p
125's are super fun!
500s are actually pretty mellow in comparison to a smaller bike. They aren't peaky or pipey. Just a lot of torque all the time.
no better sounds than those 500's.
400cc air cooled rm
reminds me of the sound of my IT465
I miss my old 86 CR500
He's even got the old Bell Moto 111 to go with it.
" needs more power ",,said no one ever. I had a 84 and still have my 86 .
Ive got a mint full power 85 cr5 in my kitchen...i look at it EVERY day and just think 'its mine !!!'...going to tune the carb in next few days and get back on it....just ticking over it sounds more agressive than any dirt bike ive ridden or drooled over to this day 😁
It looks clean for a 85
In theory, equivalent to 1000cc 4-stroke, but more violent, and in some cases, even more than 2x the power than a 4 stroke with the same CC.
Epic shit
@@Boykot1 The most violent bike I have for sure
@@TopRevs I adore the fact that they even exist
No smoke. No engine life. 100 octane at 32:1 with a full synthetic oil. Like motul 800.
What a beast
Thank you Mister
@@TopRevsyou got social media? I got a 84 CR500. I like talking about cr500’s. What carb do you have on yours? What’s your elevation and temperature you ride?
@@blanchard899 I ride in all types of elevations and temperatures because I live in Norway. Stock carb with stock main jet, a bit smaller idle jet, but i think I want to put a bit bigger idle jet in it
@@TopRevs very nice. I have a stock PE45D and pwk airstriker. The stock Im running 162 main, 68 pilot and R1468N needle 3rd clip position. Buddy of mine has the same bike as you stock pipe and stock carburetor. 168 main, 65 pilot, R1369N needle on 3rd clip position. Cold season I’ll richen the main and when it’s super hot in the summer I’ll lean it out a little. Not much adjustment
@@blanchard899 Nice! How is yours and your buddies Cr 500 to start?
Nice CR500, those 500 two strokes are scary fast bikes. Whats your fav bike?
I love all my bikes so I can't say what's my favorite 😂 Every bike is fun in their own way
81 kx420 geared up !!!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Still wearing the metalwork plates and screws 25 years on !!
Nothing like a 500 two stroke
Had an '86 CR 250 and a deformed right kneecap as a remembrance.
The beast
Short rod monster
That bike is SICK man? Nice hole shot damn! I have a kx 450 and it doesn't jump up like that damn!!😳🤠👍👍 What kind of tire you use??
@@BillCoxoutfit thank you! It’s a Michelin rear tire, I don’t remember the specific name
@@TopRevs it grips!💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻 Send to the end!
Nice bike!
Best bike Honda ever built the original window maker
Tore the bottom of my shoe off starting one of those beasts 😂
what year was this filmed? lol boots look brand new!
The boots is 40 years old and the best pair of boots I've ever had
That typical honda halfbogging lionsound and then wild revving. But suspension was off. That monster can kill, 4 sure.
I know, the rear shock is way too hard and front suspension is a bit soft
ANKLE SNAPPA
Proper
Sounds good
Thanks!
Dream location dream bike....but why is it not smoking?
Also if your the bike man i think you must be ti still run a propper beast like this check out kaplan americas collection of 500 tonners so nosatligic, long live 2 stoke f**k 4 bangers
Hammer
Kva skjedde med Stingen? Har du den fortsatt?
Den solgte jeg for noen år siden desverre😅
Not even into it and it wants to lift off! Crazy power from these bikes.
@@HabitualUA-camConvict Massive torque and Hp
Is this the bike that breaks your legs or is it the KX 500?
@@MizuCarn The is the one. But mine is pretty easy to start because it’s a fresh engine with brand new ignition
I had a 85 CR500 , the 89 CR500 way harder hitting and harder the ride
Homeboy got drip

What Year was This Filmed?...🧐🤔
1985/2023😏
Where is this pit? It looks like western Maine.
@@RSV4BOY It’s Norway
First time I've ever watched someone start one properly; well done. The tune sounds perfect, with no overrun. I loved my last one. This was my 98-model one here.ua-cam.com/video/b-Hpiv-uQE0/v-deo.htmlsi=pEAfC4uNw1nn8PNe
@@MatMcCrudden Thanks! The new ignition system I bought for this bike makes day and night difference when starting it. Always start first or second even when cold
Nice I Lo e the terrortory . What state? Really cool
Thank you! This is Norway
This is Waubach Netherlands?
@@feelgooddany Nope, it’s Norway
Ok it looks (almost) the same 😅
The important thing to note is that he has on his shittin pants.
