I miss my old 1996 cr500 steel frame bike
I remember looping out that same bike when I was 14. Overshot the first double I hit and coming off a 125 I was used to landing with the throttle wfo. Big mistake on the 500!
I still laugh every time I hear someone tell me I should take the motor out of my CR500 and stuff it into an aluminum frame.
I don't think I've ever seen a CR500 or even a KX500 pop up for sale in my area. No matter how beat up they are people around here tend to hang on to them. But I did recently acquire a 1976 Yamaha IT400 that I need to start buying parts for. 😁
Cool!
Look forward to seeing this bad boy completed.

Make steel frames great again
KTM
It's because of the aluminum frames are heat treated after they
No! Then the price will go up lol
And america.
@@daffyduck9901 Yup, but even those can be to stiff sometimes, wasn't it the 2022 frame that caused so much trouble ?
Man Honda should bring the 500 back. When I was young at the races I would find the biggest hill at the track stand at the bottom and just listen to the 500’s climb up the track I can still hear it and smell it
im 60 year old now ,worked in various motorcyle stores from mid 80s to early 2000s ,you couldnt sell the big bores ,nobody wanted them and trust me the ones we sold at least a third came back to be traded in for a 250 ,i cannot believe the interest in the 500s nowadays and the prices are beyond ridiculous ,we even offered a few 2000/2001 CR500s with a enduro kit and compliance plate so people could ride them on the road and we lost money on each and every one off them ,theres a reason they stopped making them and its pretty clear why
Motorcycle store? 😂🙄
I had the 99 model.. absolutely loved it.. crazy power.. wish I still had it
Absolutely 💯
@travismccloskey9733 he's clear what's not understandable?
I recently rode a ktm 500 i hadn’t ridden a bike for 20 years. I enjoyed the power, totally too fast, but i felt i had good control. I will be buying one, its a less stressed engine if you are only using 60% of power. So i am ok with it
What’s up Clint it’s Jimmy Hester. I just found your channel like subscribe and click the notification bell done. Where are you at these days?
Thanks for the video. Still got a CR500 and a KX500 in my shed. Stock standard
Wish I was hanging with you in garage man would be learning so much. I want to restore my 97 Cr500 soon got it for $6,000
Dang
It was VMXDN in England the best event in the world for 2 stroke evo mx racing, love the videos keep them coming, would love to see abig bore Maico on the channel for sand Mountain
Rode few alloy framed bikes, didnt care for the weight or rigidity..love my steely.
Steel is real.
Your neighbors must think you’re crazy.
That is an unfortunate conversion. I converted a 2003 cr250 frame only welding in the lower engine mounts. It has never cracked in the last 18 years the engine was bought cheap in a box of bits when no one wanted the old two strokes and is an absolute pig to fit very tight sliding the exhaust on. It still breaks kick starts when you don't get enough fuel in the cylinder before giving it a good hard boot
You should do a 2 stroke quad sometime
Banshee builds normally get a lot of attention, but they are so expensive now days.😭
Off topic but I got a pretty clean 04yz250 that needs engine rebuilt.2015 plastics, pro circuit pipe, Hinson basket. + Few more upgrades. NC VA border area.
Last year of the yz250 steel frame. And last two stroke to win a 250 sx championship.😁 I hate to sell it, but the shape my body in I can't ride it like it should be rode. Want to put money in a car. If anyone is interested, let me know.
In the spring of 1992 I bought a carry over 1990 KX500 at the local dealer for around 2500 sold it 94 got a new KX250 5000 sold it 97 built a modified stock car could only afford to race a couple times and sold it. end up buying the 500 back in 2000 and still have it. Would really like to find a late model 250 chassis maybe some shifter kart Leftover that's decent when I got it back the guy had swapped out the stock front for one off a kdx200 and 18inch rear wheel so it sits a little stink bug but for some reason the front brake is better just another someday dream.
Great video🇮🇪👌
i own a 87 quadzilla 500..they dont vibrate at all because they're counter balanced. You'd have to toss one of those motors in a aluminum frame.
Seat,tank, suspension and brakes are reason to convert. Need to be on the new ergonomics to shred the way I want. Personal preference.
Yamasaki? Yzuki? Have you wandered into a forest of that green stuff? Love it. 2-smokers 4 ever mate
I am curious how a VRP aluminum frame is for these. They are for sure for rich people at $6000. I'm curious if they are sweet on the track or just a cool display piece.
Steel is the way to go
I know where there’s a brand new never removed from the crate cr500.
I have a buddy that purchased a new 92 WR500Z...he rode it with us a few times and racked himself and the bike up pretty good. He just left it in my shop for 30 years. Last year he just gave it to me. It’s never been apart...original everything including tires. The air cleaner crumbled apart. The carburetor took 3 trips through a sonic cleaner. Fresh oil and fuel and it fired right up. New handle bars and a slight pull on the subframe and it was test ride time. Now I’m torn...do I leave it in it’s amazing original condition, restore it or really make it ready to ride?
Ride it but not ruin it
Yoooo. Glad to have comments now.
2022 CR500 AFX australian street legal is onlyone i'd buy today
BOB WUZ HERE!!! You can fit 2 red power bands in a 500 big bore cylinder
Gotta try the blue man. Yank your beer out your hand when it kicks in woohoo boy.
I have seen people use a cr 500 motor in a 97-99 aluminium frame to use as a super moto. The frames are really ridgid so they're good for race tracks ( tarmac race tracks) with 17 inch rims and slicks
I've raced supermoto on a KTM 450 and a Husky SMR 530 RR, the steel frames are brilliant on tarmac as well. I loved it a lot more than the Yamaha's/Honda's with alu frame.
And 17" rear + 16.5" front is race setup, both tubeless of course ;)
@wernerxldata yeah nice, well the guy at my track must be missing out.
@@jarydt1152 In the end it's all about having fun racing a bike ;)
Why is it triangled? Because triangles are the strongest shape.
Awesome love all big bores
500 things, done wrong af! Lund Fu Rescue
👍
Brc 500s (the KTM family ones at least) are also counter balanced. Buttery smooth as my te, love it
And I would go with "rehabilitating" haha
I heard that Kaplan offered a guy $30K for a 2001 CR500 in the crate untouched and he didn't take it. I do know that one of his that was nearly a virgin went for over $20 during the peak.
💯🏍️👍🏁
Mr Lund u never talk about the yz 490can u reply
How much was the 500 roller
Me to
No comparison
My friend... you choosed the worst handling CR in history. That frame is so rigid a that here in Italy we call it: "Cancello"... that can be translated in "GATE". Yes, like the Iron automatic gate someone has in a gated propriety. It moves only in one direction, zero flexibility. Try to put that amazing engine in a 2010 to 2023 CRF frame... and you will fly!
How do have 21k thumbs up and only 6900 views. Things that make you go HMMM. Love the show.

I had a 97 cr 250 for a minute. Worst bike i think i have ever ridden. IMO...
I've got the 87 cr 500 , oem to the bone ...be complete Muppet to bugg one up by putting the motor in a crappy alloy frame...by the way ,there are blokes in Australia will pay $ 60 000 aus,for brand new in the crate cr 500,a new 85 ,86 or 87,there the golden ones... be pushing 6figures for a new one,in the box, at auction ..no.probs..
Complete Muppet here, I put my 87 motor into a 98 250 chassis. Yeah it is overly rigid, but the 87 was the complete opposite. Great forks but the frame flexed too much, and no matter what was done to the shock the rear would wallow down in the stroke ( I think its the linkage ratio being not progressive enough) I made a smaller/narrower alloy fuel tank, got some billet triple clamps and done a heap of other stuff but in the end, I prefer the 98 alloy frame. Took a lot of work on the suspension (2010 crf250 forks aswell) but it's good for me.
Chrome Moly steel frames are and we're always the best for strength and frame flex, easier repair, longer lasting, still light enough and alloy frames are far too stiff and come with a long list of inherent problems.
Look at the world's best brands, they're all steel frames.
