- We called on our buddy Carter Stephenson to test out the new 365MX Whiteout Race gear! He brought out THE BEAST which is a 2003 KX500. You can purchase the new gear here ride365.com/365mx-whiteout-rac...
Big thanks to Sweeny's MX for having us out / 111803615552600 - Спорт
I think this vid gets the "TOP" award for best shots & angles of a dirtbike being ridden I have ever seen on UA-cam !!
The song plus a 500 why can't there be more videos like this
Thanks for watching!
Nice vid, I've from New Zealand and I 've been a KX500 owner rider for a while now, since 1997. Still riding an '04. And I've just turned 57. New four strokes ?
WRONG ! THE 500 IS THE MUSIC !
Bench mark vid combo I still come back now and again after 5 years to hear and see it now and again , Billy Bolt has just uploaded something similar
Its great to see that the young guys who didnt grow up riding 2Ts are buying old bikes and discovering the "BUZZ" that us old boys loved and still do,hitting band is still one thing in life that I will always love.
Nice to see a KX 500 ridden like it is meant to be!
Well that was refreshing. Most CR and KX500 videos just show someone wearing one boot and one sandal revving their bike on a driveway.
Some Girls, not a bad Stones LP. Other tracks on the LP with titles that could go with a half -liter 2 stroke: 'Miss You', 'When The Whip Comes Down', 'Just My Imagination' 'Respectable', 'Before They Make Me Run', 'Shattered'. Shoot, pretty much the whole friggin' LP!
In my opinion the best 500 ever built, witness the wins at Baja. you ripped it dude. I used to have one that I raced in Bomber class in my late 20's. 53 now and still would love to get back on one. shoulder issues and the fact in my 50's i don't recover from injuries as easily makes me hesitant!
He rides that 500 like a boss. Great vid ✌️
Agreed!
He is fast as hell you should see him on a newer bike
Most people seeing this have no idea what it takes to rip a bike like this on a tight track, like a boss is right!
most people don't know what it takes to ride a two stroke in general let alone a 500. His is instagram is Carter_24.
yeah he does that bikes pretty heavy and with a full tank of fuel as well. this guy rips this bike, I own a 2002 kx500 and hope to learn how to ride it like this guy.
Song selection 👌🏻
This video is legendary.

Man, I miss my 2002 KX500! Such an amazing bike. I can't believe how well you tamed her, they are a hand full. People don't realize they only weighed 217/lbs with almost 70hp. Rock on brotha!
Brendon Kelly they'll diff whoop a 450 all day long!
I'm lucky to have my '04 still in the shed only 45 hours from new. Full factory spare spares kit still in the box. The shop gave it to me when I bought the bike new. I had a couple of toots from the traffic taking a brand new KX500 home on the trailer back in '04. Good memories, glad I've still got it...
i agree,i miss mine also i bought the KX500 in 1989 brand new and i've rode all kinds of dirt bike/street bike raced at Pocono and Louden modified production and formula 1 road racing style on a Z1 but when it comes to dirt this bike is what i called a out of control chain saw the only way to slow this bike down was using the rear brake to slow down the engine it was so nasty i went out and bought the KX250 just so i could have more friends keep up with me,i miss this bike and im currently in the market to score one,not easily found but there out there,nice video brother and yes the guy does handle it well.I'll never forget the Cycle magazine test on this bike had article on the 1989 and it said top speed on this bike was 112 mph i new i immediately had to have one........
In 2003 I bought a 2001 KX 500. I was 25 years old and rode the piss out of that thing for a few years and then sold it for $1000 cuz I had a kid. I loved that bike. This video put a lump in my throat when I saw how happy this kid was to thrash around on the beast. Now I ride a 200 hp VMAX. I guess riding a beast never got out of my blood.
I used to own a KX500 1983 model. The thing was such a beast and great fun to ride. It had so much grunt, you could be a gear or two higher in corners, yet it still pulled like a tractor. Especially good in sand. Miss that bike.
he seems so happy on that 500, im happy for him
I raced this bike (1991 KX500) from amateur to expert from 91-93 and coming from 125's then a 250 to this was like holy crap! The power was utterly arm ripping torque, you couldn't use all the power except for the starts and some straightaways. You'd lug it in 3rd into a corner, crack the throttle and you were gone. I missed this bike and racing the open expert classes at district 34. I might buy one now after watching this video lol
caddidon Try out the KTM 300cc bikes. You might like them.
Do it, I race a KX500AF locally.
I've watch this video several times a day for 2 weeks now. Can't get enough! Love it!
I'm in love with this video! No one ever records a video where they're really ripping a 500 2-stroke, Throwing whips, scrubbing jumps, and railing berms I love it!! I always felt like they were kinda slow (compared to a 450) from the vids I've seen so far but now I know it really is a monster. Great video, thanks for making it
Bob Bobby slow? lol maybe they ride it slow but flat out the 500 will edge out a 450 with the right gearing.
GreenCR21 yea I always thought so but I never see anyone ripping it like this. In other videos It always seems like they aren't going to fast, which has annoyed me for a while because I've been waiting to see someone really rip a 500
Bob Bobby i just got a kx500 recently. bike i had before that was an old 180 2 stroke so its my second bike lmao dumb purchase. but yeah its honestly insane. even experienced riders get worn out riding them on motorcross tracks. with some tall gearing they can hit 110-120. some people port them and make even more power.
Bob Bobby they probably arent going fast because they are scared shitless. i mean..60-65hp on a 220 pound bike with a POWERBAND that can hit hard.. around the same power to weight ratio as a 600cc supersport.
GreenCR21 yea I see what you mean it must take a pretty skilled rider to really ride it to its full potential
He's some serious BALLS to be going full ham on a 500 cc 2 stroke !!
Years ago at glen helen I rode my friends kx 500. It could wheelie at 60 mph. It was a terrifying machine. The power bands were insane
Never leave your pizza burnin
bustybob buttertits blahahaha
Used to own a KX500, an amazing bike with brutal power and incredible torque. Love the sound too. I miss that bike!
I raced a cr500 for 7 years...ur a natural on a 500! Nice ride!
Only video with music over it I don't mind watching
Excellant video. I remember when these bikes came out I believe in the early to mid 80's when 2 strokes ruled.. Jeez, what a ROCKET.
I loved my 92 KX 500; Awsome machine.
KX500s are all I've ever ridden. Owned and rode a 1990 at all the SoCal tracks until recently swaping to a CRF250/KX500.
This video and the way he rides are great!
there is not other mx bike sound even compare to the great kx 500 brappppp, dude was on it too, killer vid
Best 500cc video on UA-cam!
No it's not !!!!
2019ktm bikes
You were rippin' on that beast, and it had plenty more power at the ready! Anyone can see from the big smiles on your face how much fun you were having. Great video!
What kind of person doesn't like this video? It rocks.
A four stroke person that's who *looks at four stroke people with disgust but then realizes that I own a four stroke and a two stroke *universe proceeds to implode
jakezarkowski 😂✋ yup
I think it's crouch rocket riders who are more likely to dislike a dirt bike video. I say that because most of us big bore dirt bike riders like both 4 and 2 stroke.
Tree huggers
Tamed an 89. Still miss it
@1:51 this kid throwing a 500 around like its a 125
Ya isn't it usually the opposite? The 500 throwing the rider around like he only weighs 125? Lol
When I bought my 500 and hopped on it I was surprised to find the weight and chassis feels just like a 250
That's how you ride 500 cc's of glory. That's badass man! I love the Josh Hansen style whip!!
#bringbackthe500
Cody Jones KTM's 300cc makes more power and torque than the old 500's. Weighs less and burns a lot less fuel, to.
mary and chris dougherty-Young The new 300's are making around 58 hp from the factory. Of course, if you apply the same mods like re jetting, full exhaust and air box, the 300's can push 64hp. Add a stroker kit, good Reed valve and bigger carb, as well as porting, and you're easily looking at 72hp.
That said, the 300 will still be a lighter bike and better on fuel than the old 500's. Even so, the stock 58hp is more than any mortal man could make full use of.
Heinrich Von Kekelnazi cam. lmao
the dude My mistake. Let me change that too Reed valve.
I just got back to my computer after breaking my tib/fib and I see all this lmao
Bugger me 308 nice save. Awesome rider! Awesome bike. 👍
Perfect music and just enough two stroke. great video guys
EXTREMELY WELL PUT TOGETHER, I miss my old 2 stroke day's racing at the track. 🙌
Wow nice.Brings me back to 1991 my first ride on a KX500 my friend bought brand new.Such a treat.
Handling a KX500 like that?! Dude's an absolute boss.
This is one of the only video's that I've seen of someone actually being able to ride one of those things. Awesome to see!
jodoe22 he is insanely fast on pretty much anything he is on.
Braaap !! Great song with a great display of one of the greatest dirtbikes ever produced .
Awesome riding and vid! Getting on one of these is the most fun you'll ever have on 2 wheels .... the look, smell, sound and the best .... power everywhere! Guide it through the dirt like a missile or short-shift it & lug it on the trails to where most others would stall and it just keeps chugging along, just twist it a little more & go (no clutch-fanning needed) .... amazing bikes, too bad they quit making them. I miss riding mine ....
1:39 that turn down was sick 👌
Great vid dude!! Nice choice of music too! 🙌🏼
Makes me wish I would have hung on to my old YZ 490. But it was either the bike or a car. Couldn't drive the purple beast to work. :(
Great video! Thanks to Carter and Kx!
bravo for this video especially the production
Great riding! Throwin it around like its a 125. I used to own a KX500. The sound reminds me of an A10 Warthog.
Epic! Like some else said... Legendary! Never seen anyone who could throw a 500 around like that. Cant wait to get my 2004 KX 500 out for a ride.
Mad to see an old bike worked like that.. cool as!!!
it is nice to see you rocking it old school. everybody thinks they need to put the engine in an aluminum frame these days. your a monster!
Cool edit. Cool kid. Cool music. Def refreshing to watch this!
BQ Vs Carter. Cr500 vs Kx500. W/ Best oppo challenge!
beautiful bike I as well own a kx500 a 2002 and it rips! I can only hope to learn how to ride like this though.
Best Kx500 video. New school talent on the old school nostalgic Monster!
He rode it well but he never opened it up and got on it. that shows the true power of the bike and skill of the rider! great presentation!
sweet video man, LOVE the sound of that thing!!
This video shows why 2 strokes need to make a resurgence
I raced 250 smokers and some 450 4 strokes mostly over the years. Had a 2001 CR500 for a bit and you can't appreciate how hard it is to ride one fast until you try it. But they are a blast if you like scaring yourself to death. Hats of to you Carter, you make it look easy and I know it isn't.
That's a big ass bike. Whipping like it's a toy. It gives me chills because he's becoming one with that bike.
yeah the two cycle by itself is music to my ears I love that motor
Great riding and even better filming/editing :)
Best KX500 video on UA-cam
Right the best KX500 vid. Now when it comes to Cr500`s different story.
Never ridden anything bigger than a 250 two stroke or a 450 four stroke , man I hope I can say I’ve ridden a big 5 before I die.
Man what a great song choice u guys did 👍👍
Like many people I watch a lot of videos and this one is pretty good as far as video, quality, editing, music wasn't overpowering the sound of the bike, Carter didn't talk much and the action was good. Rate it a 10 as most youtube videos are a 5
airraptor well said and right on the money.
Mad man! One day i WILL achieve this level of riding.
loved the video. I've been wanting to ride a Kx or Cr 500 for years just for the experience. Haven't gotten the chance yet but I'm only 20 so I've got plenty of time
Agreed this is badass !! The Beast !
What a great bike and what a great rider, I love this vid.
Awesome riding! Must feel great!
Have a '96 CR500, a '97 KX500 and am currently working on a IT490 that Im rebuilding to YZ spec. Still need to get the RM500, KTM500, 540 & 550, and WR500 for good measure. So much power, so much fun!
Dude gets major props for straight rippin' it on a K5! Life gets serious real damn fast on a K5! I finally had to sell my Beast recently re: declining vision issues. Only bike I've ever been on that pulls seriously hard even in 5th. When you're on the Desert Floor... if there's somebody out in front of ya... you just know you can reel 'em in as long as you've got the skillz and you're in good shape. And there's just something special about showering other riders with a shotgun blast of rocks off the rear tire ;)
oh man this was soooooo good
I would love to have that bike and love even more to be able to ride it like that!
One is possible but two is an impossibility
It's a beast for sure, sounds great! I've got a 2009 KX500AF that I made myself. I'm working on a gen3 CR500AF right now!
What year motor in your Kx? I've have 88 with 93 forks rims all the go fast goodies. But no aluminium frame. Still a hoot
💩😷
Yeah great vid awesome bike and well ridden. And finally a song to match 👍👌
Wow that was awesome 👏🏻
Absolutely phenomenal rider
Bret u need to do a video of u riding a CR500 that would be Cool!! what you think.
starlin hembree check the video of him riding with kevin windam, he is on one there.
The vibe of this video made me go hop on my wimpy 99 kx250 😍
Awesome bike and video!
oh my god!!! this video made my day! thank you!!!
Nice! This video deserves more views.👌
Sick gear! Needed some nose wheelies.
I wonder how good they are when they do the new kx450 chassis conversion.
Completely spectacular
To one of the only people who can really ride a 500
Great song selection goes with the name of the bike, the BEAST! Good rider he throws that KX500 around like nothing!
"The Beast"s song, the Beast of Burden song, proper audio mixing so you can hear both... Beauty.
Nice bike and good riding dude
Very rare bike kx500 2003. How the heck can you whip that beast when it's a tanker. I have not seen a beast tamed in air. Good man!
Mike Caldera they are only 100 kg
Great vid!!
i love that sound
I spent so much time on a 1999 kx500. I buddy was kinda scared of it and got joy outta watching me ride it. It's the only bike that never gave me arm pump. Fuck I miss that bike.
Great video
This video is perfect !!
Sick vid sicker Track sickest bike
best music ever
Looks like it runs like it should, gotter tuned in....
While everyone is watching "125's" i am watching this beautiful 500!! Hype should be 250 2strokes and 500 not 125 ! Awesome video!!
Yung Chavez with the 🔥
Track looked good
awesome video! i love a good 2 stroke video but with a 500 its even better
Mmm this was pleasant to watch
I love 2-smokes
Amazing video👌
