I like when I'm watching what someone's doing rather than watching someone's face explaining what they're doing. I feel like a lot of people just like to look at themselves, hear themselves talk, and bask in the glory of the attention they receive, and the thing they claim to be passionate about is really just the thing that caught on and got them the most views. When someone can showcase their craft without including their ego I feel like it shows true mastery and genuine passion for their craft.
Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the thoughtful comment. Now don't forget to like, share, subscribe and smash that bell button for instant notifications! 🤣
That was AWESOME !!! You’ve got serious skills my brother …putting your own spokes in is special , that’s a dying breed of people who can do that . Great Job !!! 👍😊
I grew up on these bikes watching guys like Jeremy McGrath kill it. So want a late 90s early 2000s CR250. Thank you for that video. Brought back great memories. Amazing rebuild!!!!
Nice work! I did my 01 a couple summers ago. I believe this was the best time for Hondas 2 strokes ever. This era of bikes will always be my favorite. Wish I could show you a photo of mine. ❤After putting your hands on every part and the work and time involved, the appreciation and bond you now have with the bike is even more special. My guess is this bike no matter what will be dear to your heart for a long time. Nice video!
Absolutely amazing build. Brings back so many memories of building my 2003 CR250. Your attention to detail is unbelievable. And wow, she sounds amazing... congrats 👏
Wow that was so relaxing to watch except towards the end. I was so hoping you started it. And you did thanks for not ruining the video. What a beautiful job you did that bike is gorgeous.
Какое замечательное видео! Как приятно смотреть и вызывает большое уважение, как увлеченный человек своими руками показывает на что он способен, именно его действия говорят о нём, а не болтовня и жестикуляция рук. 👍💫
greetings from Córdoba Argentina: even if you don't see it and maybe you don't believe me I finished watching your video and I'm standing applauding it... great job and GREAT MACHINE that CR !!!!!
Dude this is my type of build, nothing fancy or flashy and old school honda graphics. Yet everything done with skill and precision. Fundamentals done right. Gorgeous bike
Its always good to see people taking care in what they do and being meticulous about it. This video was very enjoyable because the presenter focussed on the build to the exclusion of unnecessary narration, allowing the video to speak for itself. I'm happy to subscribe to someone that takes care in what they do and has pride in the outcome, and the Owner has every right to be proud! I like and respected his attention to detail, in fact I liked everything about this video.
I’ve watched this video 20+ times now. Not going to lie I’m going to kinda copy you. It’s almost exactly how I pictured my 02 250 then I found yours, and I fell in love with it and definitely inspired me for my build!
Great build! You should check out the one I am just finishing up on my 18 af 500. Keep up the good work will be following along for more builds like this
What a mechanical genius ... If I had a dirt bike it'll be a treasure to have him as a next door neighbor just inspired me to understand that any the inner workings of this mechanical road beast..... EXCELLENT
What was with drilling the holes in the piston? Better cooling/lubrication? How big was the drill bit, and did you drill on both sides of the skirt or just the exhaust side?
I've never herd or seen of someone drilling side of a piston must be help with lubrication, I noticed they never got back to on that 1 must be a little turning secret
Bike looks amazing, love working in the living room 👍 what was the 2 holes drilled in the side of the piston for? I'm guessing lubrication to the wrist pin but I don't know... actually I watched again and looks like the holes in piston where on the exhaust side, so would not be for lubrication, let me know what they are for.... awesome build tho👍👍
Hey thanks so much, Andy! It's to lube and keep cool the exhaust bridge on the cylinder which are notorious for cracking. See this: blog.wiseco.com/two-stroke-how-to-relieving-the-exhaust-bridge-and-drilling-lubrication-holes
Rad build, I did a 76 yz100 when I was a kid put an 80 wheel set on it and it looked like YZ 80 with a lot of travel and a little easier to maneuver if you're younger stepping up till 125 but I had a 175 jug that fits on the 100 yes 175 cylinder head and piston will fit on 100 engine bottom end so I was racing 175 in a 80 cc class, who are the monster back sprocket starting out in second gear with a big trench digger and I'll be spraying trail mix on everybody pulling three or four bike lengths before the first left turn, braaap braaat, well till I got caught LOL sold it to my buddy and got a maico magnum 250 brurrrt" burrrt" with life of power
Drilling the piston skirt is an old dessert racing trick from the 1960's(and it's only done on the intake side)It was often combined with a horn button converted to as kill switch so that you could send a burst of cool air when going wide open on the throttle for extended periods of time.
Heck yeah fantastic job...did a rebuild myself on a 99 kx250 and it came out great. Lot of time and dedication but when it's done the feeling of satisfaction is something else
Brought back some beautiful memories. I used to race a cr500, it was a beast of a machine. I feel a real tingle inside that hurts a little to see such a re build, and another i will never get to ride one again. The sound, the smell of the two stroke and that power when it came on...😩
Love the clean oem look! Everyone is building full out custom bikes with 10,000$ or more in them and you build a modest beautiful every day bike! Should have a nice bike for years to come
Thanks man, I really appreciated this comment. I wasn't sure many people would appreciate my simple build, so it makes me happy to read comments like this.
Hi Marc, incredible work and many attention to all of the details,...i don't know where you skills come from, you are really talented,,...eat, drink, sleep, built and ride....
I've built project bikes during the winter before, like 1 a year til the market went insane. It's art man, patience and scrubbing endlessly lol. Awesome. Never drilled oil holes tho I must be missing something.
I like your style sir, just the right amount of aftermarket touch while still the retaining the stock form. I would've probably added a FMF pipe but she turned out beautiful all the same. Well done.

Matt should stop projecting lol why are you so judgemental? 😂
Remember when you were single and you could over haul a motorcycle in your living room 😁
I do , with this year bike !!
Ya
He's a squatter.
Yup, I kept my bike in the spare bedroom of my apartment. Every weekend I had to rent a uhaul trailer to go ride. Late 90s it was cheap.
Heck yea!! The before having a garage .... and barn days!
These graphics will always remind me of my childhood, they’re somewhat therapeutic.
Wow. Nice work champ. This makes me wanna take my bike apart and put it back together again. Awesome project. 👊🏼
That bike look’s sick! The stock graphics with the red seat cover and black rims looks really good
Beautiful! Rebuilding in the living room adds character.
Man oh man I love the sound of a the 2 stroke, that was one of the most authentic put together bike videos I ever seen.....
That was AWESOME !!! You’ve got serious skills my brother …putting your own spokes in is special , that’s a dying breed of people who can do that . Great Job !!! 👍😊
I really appreciate that 🙏 thanks man!
You Rock...Dude.!
Hi sir how are you can you tell me how much money doler cost this motorcycle please
Hes right i tried it when i was 15 couldnt do it had to buy new complete rims
In my 40 years of riding I never laced a wheel! Everything else!
I grew up on these bikes watching guys like Jeremy McGrath kill it. So want a late 90s early 2000s CR250. Thank you for that video. Brought back great memories. Amazing rebuild!!!!
Legendary video, looks like you bought the dirtbike back in 2002 and bubble wrapped it and now opened it 20 years later, like a time capsule!

I watched this twice back to back. You have some real skills and passion for this work you displayed.
Thank you so much, Sam! I just finished building a new one and will have a similar, but more in depth video on that build soon.
Absolutely amazing build. Brings back so many memories of building my 2003 CR250. Your attention to detail is unbelievable. And wow, she sounds amazing... congrats 👏
Thanks man, I really appreciate that! Your SM build is giving me ideas for a new project... 🤔
@@madmarc d
Amazing stuff Marc, very nice video and really neat work on the bike. I will pray to have such patience and determination lol
Damn... laced and trued those wheels like a boss.
Wow that was so relaxing to watch except towards the end. I was so hoping you started it. And you did thanks for not ruining the video. What a beautiful job you did that bike is gorgeous.
That’s all I was thinking wow I wouldn’t dare ride it now it’s so clean lot money been spent there too 👍💪
Undoubtedly one of the best videos I ever seen on UA-cam, hands down top 3! I can re-watch this over and over!
This is maybe the nicest comment I've ever received. Thank you so much 🙏
Man you make this look so easy to do. I’d be totally lost in this process. Big up to you!
I watch this from beginning to end every time it comes up on my feed, never gets old!
Thank you Dr. Paca! Your comment made my day 🙏
It's great to see deteriorated but good machinery returned to excellence. I admire the first class workmanship this young guy did.
Какое замечательное видео! Как приятно смотреть и вызывает большое уважение, как увлеченный человек своими руками показывает на что он способен, именно его действия говорят о нём, а не болтовня и жестикуляция рук. 👍💫
I love how simple it is. No crazy graphics or parts.
My 01 Cr250r was by far my favorite bike EVER! polisher frame and black plastics, such a ripper.
My friend, you are a true artist! In the apartment, thru the night, respect!
One of the best bikes ever made, still have my original 2002 and love it 👍
Excellent job taking the time to document this I'm sure that was a pain in it own right...big 👍
Great work bringing this thing back to life! Great job lacing those wheels also
Dude you´re living the dream. All that stuff in your department, just amazing
Legend doing it in your living room
This is beautiful. The power I’m sure is like no other.
greetings from Córdoba Argentina: even if you don't see it and maybe you don't believe me I finished watching your video and I'm standing applauding it... great job and GREAT MACHINE that CR !!!!!
Thanks David, this comment really made me laugh!
Nice work mate. Love seeing people looking after old stuff most people would treat as scrap. Good on ya 👍👌.
Thank you Karl!
Always a good feeling that first kick and it fires right up! Looks sweet, great job.
Honda motor 👍🏻
Sick man, that looked like a TON of work, but worth it in the end for sure.
Dude this is my type of build, nothing fancy or flashy and old school honda graphics. Yet everything done with skill and precision. Fundamentals done right. Gorgeous bike
Best sound in the world! Also the best smell in the world when you wake up after coffee and you fire up that 2 stoke to head out of camp.
Great job mate, turned out beautiful 👌
Beautiful. Digging the music selection as well
Watching this video really makes me miss riding, and tearing my bike down. Amazing job man!
Thank you bro!
Quickly turning into my favourite channel. Mesmerising content.
looks awesome, man. Some effort gone into that for sure.
You must have done this once or twice before... insane skills dude! bike turned out great!
Omg I wanna restore one now I used to love doing this to my bikes in the winter to get it ready for the new race season!!!!

Este video me deja demostrado qué hay gente que ama lo que hace y lo hacen con pasión excelente que belleza.
I still got my 2001 and still runs great after all these years. That was the best depiction of a moto rebuild
That's awesome man! I had an 01 also. Solid bike!
So how many hours did you actually put into this rebuild?
One of the best rebuilds I've seen! Nicely done!
Thank you, Bobby!
Music was right... doing in the living room piano in the background filming on point this dude ... im impressed all around
Thank you Luke!

Can you send me it's my dream 💓
Why you drilled the piston?
Kirim 1 gev wy motor 😆😆
So what?
Why you make hole in piston😯??? I have 2001 CR250r🤟
Парень это было шедеврально.Оживить легенду это очень круто.
Absolutely by far the best looking CR build on yt, bravo
I’ve watched this video 20+ times now. Not going to lie I’m going to kinda copy you. It’s almost exactly how I pictured my 02 250 then I found yours, and I fell in love with it and definitely inspired me for my build!

It’s to allow oil to lubricate the bridge on the exhaust port.
@@johnberry2877 and drilling those holes doesn’t compromise the structural integrity of the piston?

Wish I would have documented rebuilding my 02'yzf r6 like you did this bike. One man's junk is another man's treasure!
Your repairs are unbelievable, wow
I'd much rather watch this, than have to watch Biden lie about shit! Thanks for another awesome video and re-build!!!
Incredible video, one of the best builds up I’ve seen on UA-cam
Thank you!! 🙏
Love that sound! Brings back memories
I’m jealous that is a thing of beauty. It’s art. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you Dave!
Nice to see the quality stuff that's on Honda's. This is the most beautifull dirtbike ever made to me
Casual bike build in the living room. Looks so good dude!!!
Thanks man!
Heck yeah fantastic job...did a rebuild myself on a 99 kx250 and it came out great. Lot of time and dedication but when it's done the feeling of satisfaction is something else

Thank you for the comment Edward, I never thought my video would evoke so many emotions from so many people.
Clicked on this by accident but answered a few questions that were in the back of my mind. Kudos. Glad this was recommended
Thanks Harry, I'm happy to hear that!
Nice work my man awesome bike and your skills are 2nd to none hope you rebuild many bikes

best cr250 ever seen i come to watch this videos every 3 time a month
Wow! Thanks man, I really appreciate that!

Hey Ethan! Thanks man I appreciate that! My videos never get any views, I dunno how this one went wild.
very beautiful your work congratulations and the sound of the two times is wonderful...
Thank you, Daniel!
Good looking bike, had one when I was in my teens, it was from the mid 80s
It was crazy fast, loved that bike
All I can say is well done sir. Perfect job!
Nice music to go along with the Moto art! Beautiful
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Awesome an actual bike build video good job bro bro bro
When you said rebuild, you really mean rebuild ! Like down to building out spoked wheels. Bravo 👏🏼
thank you Wade!
mad marc you’ve inspired me to look into an early 2000 CB rebuild
The work speaks for itself
