I frickin love it , you did a great job on a great bike, I really like the video on the second ride
and the slow mo at the end, like the bike had a heart beat . Thanks for the ride, keep up
the awesome work.
Thanks for watching.
Lol thats awesome to me it looked like an excited dog cant wait to go out and play his tail is just a wagging 😎
raced this bike new in 1985 500 expert class. I am 58now and know my bones would shatter...since in my head I am still 23yo want wide open on gas...
I feel the pain from back then but love it...Good show.
I dig your videos man. Nice job. I'm 45 years old and have been out of the game for minute, but you have re-lit a fire inside of me to get back on the saddle. Thanks for that lol!!!
Thank you, this is great to hear. I get a good feeling inside rebuilding bikes and riding them. Posting the videos on youtube and finding out that they have had a positive effect on someone makes me feel even better.
Sean Wicks ..im 48 and got me a yz490...had the rm465 back in the 80's when i was a teenager... gotta love and respect the power of the big bore bikes
panican manican ....so true man....thats what i love n respect about them....un-real power at a twist of the throttle
I'm 58 . My wife keeps telling me to quit my '04 KX500 . I can't. Done nearly 300 hours in the saddle . Can't sell it . I do know I'll get more than I paid for it when I do let it go.
That deep popping of that 500 breathing sends chills down my arms! Badass machine brother!
Thanks it was a lot of fun to restore. And even more to take for a little spin.
Bitter sweet to see the 500 go, that final ride was a nice reminder just how scary fast that bike is.
whoever has purchased this bike is one lucky person.
This should be on everyone’s bucket list to ride one.
Thank you for sharing again this has really ignited a spark in me and hopefully when I am well again I can think about getting one myself.
Thanks again for watching and leaving a positive comment. Yes this was a bucket list item for me when I got back into riding again after a 27 year absence. This particular bike was way too much for me. But the new owner has already messaged me his enjoyment. I would also like to do the other brands big bores of this era. Hopefully I can find them for reasonable deals. Cheers and take care.
TNT MOTO no thank you!
It’s easy for me to be brave in the messages but the reality is I would be terrified of it,
I would still ride it and love every second but I probably would ride like I was carrying TNT 😂
Glad it worked out for the new owner it’s so nice to do something you love and get such satisfaction from it.
Really looking forward to your next videos.
Bitter sweet? Na. Just bitter
My CR500 was my second dirt bike ever. I bought it brand new to erase the nightmare of a (ab)used Suzuki RM125 that never could get past about 15mph for me, so I wasn’t fooling around for my second bike. This brand new 1995 CR500 was a B**** to start and nearly tore my arms off, but she would take me flying like a fighter jet in afterburner. Today I’m a pilot thanks to that Honda CR500, she uncovered my love or flying!
The soundtrack of a two stroke brought back memories of old, both the love of the rush and also the anxiety of the beast that wants you dead.
I'm 44 years old now and just the sound and the smell of that 2-stroke there's nothing like a CR my first Honda was a CR125 Elsinore and that was fun but this 500 you guys are right that does take a man
Music to my years! Best girl I ever had... 1991 CR 500...
Watching your artistic expression of what this bike means to you and your passion for 2 wheels and dirt was an honor. I know where your coming from. GREAT JOB !
Boy I love the sound and look. Brings back good memories growing up in North Carolina
Own an 85 cr500, all original, waiting on cdi box, she will be back to life! I will be 60 in 8 days, have ridden the big bores my whole life, you just have to respect the braaap!
True. I am to broken to ride an 85. Sold it to someone that can and got myself a milder 89.
What a great video, thanks for that. I grew up on a 1,500 acre ranch in So. Cal. And I rode an '85 CR250 and a CR500 almost everyday for years. They both were great bikes to ride.
Thanks for watching. I think 85-87 were probably the most incredible 2 strokes honda built for the public. One of the most rewarding things is seeing the faces of the people i sell them too after they buy them. Like kids in a candy shop with unlimited money.
@@TNTMOTO What do you typically sell a good CR500 for? I may need to buy one from you. It'll be something I'll have for work for, though.
@@Shawn-in-da-Canyon This one cost me $4000 CND to build. I cant see them being more expensive than that. The newer ones cost less because parts are still available.I have an 89 for myself and i dont think it will cost me 4k to build.
I bought one these new in 1986 for $1,850. Bar none, it was the best bike I ever had. After watching this video, you’ve got me kicking myself for selling it.
I luv 500's. Especially how you can ride an entire track in one gear.
I'm dam near 56 now and beat all to hell, but in the early 90's I had an 86 CR500 torque ported by Moose Racing, their 2 lb flywheel weight, DG National pipe, Boyesen Reeds. I could idle right down with the flywheel weight and just pick my way through the woods of Michigan leaving it 3rd gear never shifting, it was like riding an automatic. That was the Dr. Jekyll side of it. Get it into the intermediate jet and beyond and you immediately get to shake hands with Mr. Hyde, and he had a mean grip! That bike was an absolute beast, you better be leaning WAY forward and be pointing in the direction you want to go when you muster up the courage to wack it WFO. My friends called it the "widowmaker", it scared a couple experienced 250 riders to the point where they did not even want to ride it. Eating Banshees for lunch was a favorite activity, I cheated a little by taking the 500 stickers off the swingarm. The seat just said CR, I would think the huge cylinder would tip them off but it never did. However the big D752 on the rear throwing boulders, logs, and whatever else it ripped up at them very quickly tipped them off this was no 250. When asked when it came on the pipe I would reply if you could hear it running it was on the pipe, the thing had a powerband a mile wide and a mile high. Thanks for the memories of the craziest most fun dirtbike I have ever owned.
charlie dee ..so true...back in 1985 i had a 82 RM465...pro circuit pipe and aluminum silencer..Answer aluminum bars...sidewinder sprockets..it was pro-built for racing when i got it...that thing hurt a cpple of people and put the fear of God in the rest...i loved it....dont have it anymore...but i do got a YZ490 nowadays thats just as mean ....
@@mickjagr3538 Yep, nothing like the rip of a big bore 2 stroker for sure. I have too much metal in my now for that nonsense, however I do have a CR500 engine laying around that would go good in a small streetbike frame.. Thinking a Ninja 250 chassis...
charlie dee ..oo yeh..thats an idea ..make a Great road bike for sure...
Just wondering what does WFO mean? Seen it a couple times.
@@ethanelliott2388 Wide Fucking Open....
I'm lucky enough to be the proud owner of a 85 cr500 in near perfect factory condition, getting a little to old to tame that beast, "mid 50's now" but have no plans on letting her go,
i bet the new owner is happy, what a beautiful machine you did an excellent job on that bike
Thank you. Yes the new owner was very happy. he is a bit of a CR collector
1 last spin 😂. That’s when the good stuff happens lol. Nice bike 👍
My best friend bought one new in 85. Seems like I crashed every time I rode it. Man I loved that bike!
Man I miss that sound, I had an 87 and would put it up against anything. I've rode dozens of bikes from the 70s til the present and that was my favorite.
85-87 were the best.
I had a cr -500 awesome power great bike definitely a legend nice video 👍
Buddy of mine had one for a few years...I rode it once on trail and that was enough for me! Gotta be a pretty experienced/strong rider to ride the thing off idle. He vibrated off so many bolts! haha
My favorite bike of all time ! What a powerhouse ! Sounds tight nice bike !!
Thanks for watching. Hope it brought back great memories.
So nice to see the two stokes being kept alive good work !!
Thanks. I will keep doing it as long as they are still allowed to be ridden.
At 3.47.... DAMNNNNN, listen to that monster tractor up that hill!!! PURRRRFECT.
I've been riding all my life, ridden the CR5 many times, me being 150lbs it never knew I was on the thing but I rode it as hard as I could and it was game for more, always more. I've never seen anyone actually be able to wring one out however, its just too much, all the time... Good times
Look up David Bailey or Jean Michel Bayle. They were legendary on the 500
Had an ‘85 that I used to ride in Glamis. Had a 10-paddle on it and boy was it strong. Very difficult to keep the front down with a paddle on it. I couldn’t begin to ride it to it’s potential, but you could leave it in a higher gear and cruise, blipping the throttle once in a while. Before that bike, I had an RM500. It was air cooled and a 4-speed. It didn’t last too long between top ends in the sand, would get hotter than hell. My last bike and the one I rode the most was a ‘97 CR500. It was easier to ride, more tractable power and of course the suspension was light years better. I’ll be 55 this week. I suppose I could still start one but I wouldn’t last long riding one! Great memories, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching. I will be looking for a rm500 in the future to restore. They are very rare here. I have only seen one.I have an 89 CR500 now. Just need to dial in the carb and then refresh as i ride.
I'm tunning a CR500 1989 right now. Your videos have teached me some useful stuff. Thank you! Also it is inspiring to see you ripping like that, I'm in my forties, hoping to ride for another 15 years...God knows hehe
Thank you. Good to hear my videos are helping out people. I will ride till i cant twist the throttle anymore.
@@TNTMOTO Thar's the attitude man!! :)
Just picked up an '85 cr500 a few days ago. Can't wait to get it in that same condition.
Really great ride! Tracked looked fun! Awesome Video!
Those things are so much fun I had one back in 84 it was a beast
I had a yz490...what a beast.
85 cr500 is brutal! Absolutely brutal!
Wow I love these bikes wish u lived closer
I had a 86 cr 500 sold it 6 years ago. People thought I was crazy when I would be unloading it especially since I was 5'7" 180lbs but riding since i was 8 I'm now 49. There's nothing like it and nothing that could touch it. I had so many people ask me if they could ride it sum I would tell them if you can start it you can ride it needless to say not many rode it it's not a bike you let just anyone jump on unless you wanna see them taken away on a stretcher. I even have real vintage beast of a bike I've been riding for many years 1973 Suzuki tm400 cyclone the original 'widow Maker'. You could not sit on this bike and kickstart it both legs had to be on same side of bike or get a permanent scar on your right shin.
Lol dude I raced a 83 cr 480 and a 87 cr 500 in the expert/pro classes at only 5 4" and 135lbs and you QUICKLY LEARN THROTTLE CONTROL AND USE THE BIKES MOMENTUM
Keeping my 500s untill I cant ride anymore.
Just still keep em! Best artwork ever 🤘🏼
I think I will get buried with mine !
I could pop my CR500’s up in any gear at any speed. I love that bike so much
i'm so glad i found people my age who want to ride (again) im subbing and keeping track -thank you
Damn it old man....shouldnt have sold it....but i do wish i had it ...sweet bro
I have an 89 for myself
Wow, lost for words. You just took me back to places I wanted to go! Thankyou
That is awesome. You are very welcome. This is why i rebuild them.
Great video, definitely one of my favourite bikes.
Thanks. Yes they are a great machine.
I had a Kenny Roberts Rz 350 street bike I sold and seen a craigslist post for a 88cr500 got it for 1400 bucks a monster great video’s man. I couldn’t part with it now
Great stuff. I have 2 1986 cr500s both imported from Florida I'm restoring one and using the other. Love all your videos keep up the good work
Thanks for watching. Great to see so many people saving these bikes. Look forward to seeing your restoration.
You can tell that bike has got some serious power nice job man.
Thankyou.
I had that same year 500. Very fast. They featured it in a drag race with a 750. I think the cr500 won. Not the best suspension but that's what made it so scary/fun to ride. I had my 85 back in 1990. Lotta fun. Great job on restoration. I love that era of the hondas. I had a xr350 ,xl 350, xr 500 loved em and would love to have have a restored 350 the six speed makes a big difference with top speed
It is definitely scary. Those bikes you listed are all great bikes. I recently acquired a 1984 Xr500. A bike i always wanted. My 17 year old loves it.
Nice bike, the last bike I had was an 86 CR 250. I did ride a friends 85 YZ 490, if I remember correctly it was a 4 speed
Do a great job with your bike my son has got a 2004 CR80 that he rides ever weekend we are in the UK keep up the great videos
Dear TNTmoto
I am a fellow Honda owner I have a 1985 CR250 I restored it 12 years ago and then the only piston I could find was the last wisco size and man let me tell you the cylinder was thin I love that bike I only wish I race them back in the day I road husky then the open class my first 500 was a 390 cr 1977 i road that bike for 5 years then got a new husky 82 500 cr man that bike was fast I even won a few races on it then fast forward 18 years a good friend of mine got that same bile in your video he said I have got to ride it I found out he could not start it I was the first one to get it running I popped it in gear took off and I did not get off the dam thing all day being I was the only one h who could start it at the end of the day I told my friend I did not see how i ever beet any of them the power was fn great handle so good compared to the husky I just was blown away . Now the main thing I need to find a cylinder for my 250 it has a mean crack under the ex port clean down the hole side i was told there is no fixing it that is my problem can you help me there is not one in the hole dam state of Calif I want that bike back on the track for this summer thanks I love your page and I subscribed keep up the good Hondas and moto on me George Davis moto freek.
There are a couple on on Ebay right now. Both in California. Get on there quick and get one, they wont last long. Maybe they are close to you and the guy will allow pick up.
Looking at the ones on ebay again. one needs a resleeve but ti think the cylinder it self is good. The other one is off an 84. Guy posted it wrong. $75 and then $100 for a sleeve back to stock bore still a good deal. I will keep my eye open here in canada for a cylinder as well but slim pickens up here.I buy almost all my parts of ebay from USA. I spend alot of time evey day just searching out parts.
@@TNTMOTO thank you for your time the 84 is different won't work I took out all moving power canister parts and put a DG pipe and s/spark arrester and old school tuning my porting made my own reeds . This bike is faster than my 2002 YZ250 by a lot. I do have a talent for porting two strokes bin tuning from age 12 I am 60 now my passion for racing is just as strong now as back then now I don't have to ride 3 motors on Saturday and 2 on Sunday now just 2 and 2 much better that 3 moto on Saturday was a bitch .I just want to go to vintage race's on my CR250R Honda I have 2 more vintage bikes a 71 Rickman zundapp 125 mx I need a stayter backing plate for a 93 cr 125 ignition that's all . My favorite bike is a 74 super combat wombate 125 hodaka it is a fun bike to ride I take it camping,any where and every where but the Honda is I call it a David Bailey replica my porting and pipe + my reeds makes it so I have bin around works bikes my hole life my uncles was a factory wrench back in the late 60s into the late 70s I was right next to him you pick up a thing to 2 or 3 .....lol again thank you very much I'll be watching for your 125 to come up it is a 85 cr right I love that one to buy I all so got an 85 500 needs a lot of help next year right now 250
Did you look at the 85 cylinder on ebay? It needed to be sleeved but the body of the cylinder looked good.
Wish we lived closer. I would definitely be interested in buying it. Right on brother ! Like what your doing 👍👍👍👍
Thank you
TNT Moto I am restoring a 1978 Cr 250 Elsinore at the moment. But this one is going on the wall in my living room ! Haha
Jeeeese that thing wants to screeeem! What an awesome bike.
Yes it was an animal. New owner. Was quite happy. Next 500 to rebuild will be my 1989 CR500
Nice video and bike!! thats a keeper! had a 2001 years ago, I miss her
HOW NICE OF U TO LET SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY THAT BEAST!!! #SANTA
Beautiful bike man! Definitely an icon of a bike!
I wish I lived near you and when you when you were selling that, I've been looking for a good deal on a cr500 or yz490, I love 2 strokes, sucked that they stopped making the 500's
The 1985 CR500: "The most Beautiful looking Bike to ever grace planet Earth"
Yes Honda ht the target with 85-87 for sure.
The reason only for me that the '85 was best ever looking was because Honda had the blue color in the Decals on the radiator shrouds. Also, the 'CR' on the 85 seat was never beat, they really messed it up in '87's goofy CR logo I thought..even painted the seat on mine to look like the 85's, lol. (pic of 1987's goof seat logo) www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=5E0E1FC8C7D21BE89D986ACA193F75337743D8E8&thid=OIP.7Q-FcII-uhH0e557W16lrgHaFC&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmoto.zombdrive.com%2Fimages%2Fhonda-cr500-1987-1.jpg&exph=2630&expw=3871&q=pictures+of+1987+cr500&selectedindex=1&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,6
Nicely Done, Had you roosted those guys that would have been icing on the cake.
that is one nice beast....i had a 91 KTM 500 THAT THING WAS ALOT OF FUN...
Thanks, yes it turned out very well and was outright insanity to ride.
Had an 83 aircooled, loved it,just do ,t stall them when you are tired!
Yes they can be a challenge to start if you dont have something to stand on to get a good kick. Stalled in the mud once, boy was that fun trying to get it running again with muddy boots.
what a monster :0
I love the 500 CR
Sweet bikes! Looks like a lot of fun... I'm glad you held on and tamed that beast!!! Would have sucked to mess up all your hard work with 1 moment of stupidity in over-confidence! Great riding!
Thank you for watching and thank you for the positive comment.
I saved and saved for my new 85 500 had to have it !
One word.................................... MASTERPIECE
Thank you.
The music is too awesome
Vicious bike !
I love two strokes.!
Cr 500 the monster😀😍
'85 was the ping king. Fast though. 1987 best year. 43mm Showa phorks, 2nd year of 500 engine in 250 frame. Lots of TOP END. Honda had it sorted that year, then in '88 it had the USD forks, back to square one. Handled like doo doo.
84 was the true Ping king. Air cooled and poorly engineered head.
He's got the 500 oot there
Looking forward to the 125 build. Nice work!
Thanks. Zinc plating the hardware tomorrow
that was fully sick i want one im in love with the old motos absolutly awsume
Heavy, old outdated jizzzunk. Good thing you sold it. Service Honda even stopped building them for lack of parts.
Parts are being made everywhere for the motors now. Billet cases billet heads. Service Honda gave up because everyone started building their own instead of paying 10k for theirs. The CR500 is like a classic car. You dont buy or restore a classic car to compete against something new. You do it because it's fun and it makes people feel good.
That cr500 would would sit in my basement when not being rode and would keep til death do us part😂😂
The 500cc Honda isn´t a bike for everybody. This engine needs a "real" man ! ;-))
Manni K. I don’t understand why when the guys riding a 500 2 stoke and he’s casing jumps loll
@@connorphillips7071 He was casing out on that 250 as well so my guess is he belongs riding trails in the woods not hitting jumps on a track
@@connorphillips7071 Just hope when you get to be his age you can still ride and enjoy yourself like he was! That is if you even make it... why fucking hate on a guy just rebuilt the bike and is testing it out but don't wanna fuck up all his hard work doing some stupid shit!
@@jessiej3991 Fucking smart ass
You dont know what real power is until you have rode a cr500
In ‘99, they only made 56hp. That’s right at what almost all modern 450s make...
Mike Fernandez Seems like you might want to think before YOU speak. I was referring to the ‘99 CR500 TWO STROKE, a model 14 years newer than this, only having 56hp, presumably more than the 1985 model made, and simply pointed out that thats right at what a current 450 makes.
Now if you want to compare a 450 making the same amount of power, or more than a older CR500, then let’s look at the facts. The 500 might make as much HP, but will make roughly half the torque. The only reason a 450 would SEEM slower is because the FI is tuned to make for a nice smooth power delivery, something the 500 is severely lacking. The earlier carb 450s, while making upper 40s HP usually, are absolute monsters because of the abrupt power delivery, and have more in common riding characteristic wise with a 500 than you’d like to believe.
I don’t care if you agree. I happen to have a little bit of experience on the subject, and actually don’t like four stroke bikes all that much. I own two strokes, but when a 450 makes as much or more power, the 500s get hyped up more than they should.
Case in point: ‘99 CR500 two stroke makes 56hp. A currently model KTM 300XC makes 51hp, and the last CR250 they made for the 07 model year, MADE 59HP.
I’ll say it again. The 500 is overrated for the power it makes.....
Mike Fernandez Here’s the cliff notes:
1. You’re a fucking moron
2. ‘99 CR500 made 56hp
3. The last CR250 (07) made 59hp
The CR500 is overrated...
@@corey640 Well pretty soon the 500 will make 92 horses. Does it seam overrated now?
Seth jk06 The fuck are you on about? What 500? A 20-35 year old bike someone’s dumping a fun ton of money into? I have no doubt they CAN make stupid power, I’m aware of it, and actually had a family friend in the late 90s that had a CR500 with 650 big bore that had so much compression, he had to put a compression lease on it just to start it, but STOCK, they’re pretty over rated compared to bikes that came out just a few years later.
So clean, great looking bike.
Thank you. It turned out very well. The new owner was happy. Now to spend some time on my Kx500
Don't know where you found a new grandfather at but nice.
On corners look for a rut to put your tires in then let it rip,the more speed the more traction .
I restored the bike from a mess. You can check out the restoration video on the channel. Bike sold, to much for me. I have a 89 cr500 now that I will be restoring in the next couple of years.
Man I want one. I bet its like riding a explosion. Good on you for hitting those jumps at 50 with a broken back. It must be a terrifying thought to overshoot a landing or case the bike.
one mistake, probably paralyzed for life.
sweet looking bike dude :) I raced a 1988 cr500 in the expert class when i was 20 years old,they are a whole lot of fun,i even used to ride supercross tracks on it but not race sx on it,they are not the best handling things compared to modern bikes but they dont sound sh#t like a modern crf450 either lol,people say that they are not that powerfull next to a crf450 either but i can tell you not many expert guys would race them back in the day because they are not easy to go fast on,not like a cr250 and they are so much more hard work on your body,not that much heavyer but i think its the crank mass and compression that does it,next time one of you 450 guys get a chance to throw a leg over one go for it you will have sooo much fun.
That looks hard to hang on to. Well done.
Wow, didn't know it was worth that much. Will post mine next week God willing...
Depends on where you live and condition.
@@TNTMOTO Yes sir, like everything
I ride my dad's 83 cr480, 250, and 125 in vintage races. Fun bikes, the 480 handles very strange though, I think that's the scariest part. It's fast and unstable, so it's scary as hell to blast down a rough straight or whoops. The 125 is most confidence inspiring and handles amazing, but is way down on power only like 25hp so gotta scream and abuse the clutch.
awesome vid i love it. ive always wanted to ride a 500 just to see whats its like, ive rode many 250s and my race bike is a 125, and ive got a 500 just sitting in the barn identical to the one in this video, im just such a light weight i haven't been able to start it yet. lol
Awesome. you are lucky to have one. especially an 85, pretty rare machine these days with everyone stripping out the motors for AF.
I wish we had more tracks like this in the UK. Too many short supercross style where you can't open up a monster like this.
What A Treat!
ihad a 1984 cr 500 loved that bike was not afraid of it rode it hard
If i did not have a broken back i would ride it a little harder but it is still for the pros.
Big mistake selling that 85 CR500 !!! I sold my 83 cr480 and my 87cr500 race bikes years ago and REGRET SELLING THEM !!! ESPECIALLY knowing what I paid for them brand new and now knowing what they're worth nowdays 😭 #307 former OPEN CLASS EXPERT/PRO
85 -86 and 87 CR-500'S WERE TRUE BEASTS TO RIDE AND FUN AS HELL AT THE SAME TIME 💪👍🤙
Too much bike for this old broken body. I have a milder 89 CR500 for myself
Always wanted on a 500 to see what it was about. Guess my crf 450 is close as ill ever get lol. That is a beautiful cr500.
I have never been lucky enough to ride a 450 but from what i hear about owners of both, the power is about the same with a totally different delivery. Your 450 will hook up much better and top out at a higher speed. With an adept rider the CR500 will keep up with the 450 until the gearing of the 450 allows for the higher top speed. Both machines have there place.
@@TNTMOTO kinda what I was thinking to. I know power wise both are pretty close in output. I'd imagine the 500 is more of a bottom end motor, and the 450 likes to wind out.
Nice 500
👍 i have cr 500 year 2000

nice. chilliwack i dig it
Can't believe your selling it tnt bet your going to miss the power of the 500 keep up the good work mate that would be worth 8 grand in Australia
I have a KX500 so all good.
Very Nice CR 500..
Thanks, it was a lot of fun building it.
Awesome bikes.. I miss the eighties and the bikes back than.. I bet the retail price for this 500 in 1985 was less than $ 3 grand.. also some of the Honda's in the middle of the eighties had 6speed.. ! Not sure about this one here but that 250 should have a 6 speed.
“bang bang bang bang bang” ♥️
Great work man!
Thankyou
Them 450 4 strokes dont want any of that 500........haha. a cr or kx 500 is on my bucket list. I've had a crf450x and they are bad ass but now I want a 500.
I have to say, it would be so nice if you actually filmed the engine and talked about all the things you did to the engine, and to the bike. I really wanted to learn about the 1985 CR500. It seemed like a pretty nice looking bike.
I have other videos on this bike but the motor was rebuilt with zero hours on it when I bought the bike.
