*this dude reminds me of the robbers in home alone*
I had a yz 125 at 14 year's young..i think i was one off the first making wheelies in town on a dirtbike
The KING of open class was and will ALWAYS BE.... the 1981 Maico 490. My MX HERE Magoo was on the Cover of DIRT BIKE on one when they first hit the market!
V4. 500cc 2 stroke. You tell us it sounds awesome. START IT!!!
a love rd 500!!!!!love love love
The Suk RM500 is OUTSTANDING !
I can't take it anymore these two strokes are calling me..
I have 1 4 you
Did you answer the call...??
Mate! They are Calling down here in Aus aswell.
@@cv8z231 I always see a lot of IT’s, that tells me they are as rugged as I thought. You guys can still get the DT which I’d love to have but can’t in the US
I've got some Maicos. About 15 from 1981 to 2015, lol. I'm in Oregon though, so.
Spyder time
Move
WOW , Just found this Channel. Hooked love the Vintage bikes the KTM is an amazing piece of art for its time.
I love Suzuki
ZER0 F0X I’ve got a gsxr 1100 it’s a 88 model it’s powerful
Unbelievable having all these together and looking so fresh. Couldnt chose one
Absolutely the wickedest collection of bikes I've in one place. AWSOME!
GOLDEN ERA!!!! I was a teen when these bikes were on showroom floors, and I spent a lot of time dreaming of owning one! Back when manufacturers were proud of and marketed their single-shock designs... you'd always see their trademarked names on the swingarms. I miss that shit!
That rm is beautiful!!!
Rm 500 84 stil think its best bike i ever drive, feels like smooth wings grow on your back
Agree an endless top end💪
I had 82 480 left side kick when i was 15 130 lbs bike scared me to death sold it within a month wish I had it now at 40 and it had stock exhaust which was so dam loud.
Mike Smith I just got my CR480 like 2 years ago build it from the ground up has a 83 frame with 82 motor. Geart motorcross bike you are right those things are Louder Than Hell everytime I start mine up everyone it looks at me and wonder what the hell it is
Me also had a 480 with big bore kit ... kicked in the guts it was missing running so I gave it and handful dropped the clutch and a huge rooster tail went up infront of me .... wtf.. lol
I had 1981 CR450rb with a left kickstart, drum brakes and 4 gears. Awesome piece of kit that pulled your arms out their sockets
I bought an 82 480.It had power but my 79 cr250 had more top end .I have an 83 480 now that I traded a 91 cr 125 that I had 100$ in to a guy that couldn't start the 480 after a new topend.His girl called him a pussy when i showed them it isnt that hard.Bigbores are ok but 125s are more user friendly on a track .Especially if your like me and 5,9 220#.
Impressed of your knowledge of these bikes. Some fun facts from back of my head: The KTM 495/500 was one of the first motocross bikes with upside-down forks. Do you know why modern KTM in-house suspensions is named WP? It's because it's not popular to say "White Power" anymore :D
The Kawazaki KX 500 was one of the longest produced motocross bike with just minor changes to it. If I'm not mistaken I think it was produced from mid eighties to well around 2000 or so. Still a bad ass motocrosser today. The YZ range of 400 to 500 cc motocrossers was subject to quite a few changes in 1980 to 1990s and around 1990 or so YZ 500 was the first prototype motocrosser with full aluminum frame. I believe it was called YZM500? Yamaha was also first to produce four stroke motocrossers too. I think they also was one of the first with watercooling and single shock rear absorbers (correct me if I'm wrong). They even had a prototype with two wheel drive!
Bimota is still a frame builder as far as I know. They did also versions with Ducati motors too, not only japanese motors. The infamous Tesi (google it) was a bike without normal forks and was powered by a Ducati motor.
Seeing all these cool bikes gave a interesting back in time feeling. Keep on the good work :)
Rm500-83 for the win, bought it two weeks ago. I've ridden a honda cr500-86 in the past but I do prefer the rm to the cr. Plus it's a piece of vintage mx history to own one
My favourite is the RM because I owned one back in the day.
Damn that 83’ CR480R 5 spd oh yeh
I ride a 1983 cr480 with a 87 cartridge and disc front end, works shock. It's bucked me off hard more than once. I can start it wearing flip flops though lol, it's all technique
Need to add the RM370. I know it wasn't the biggest, but what an awesome machine.
Does that bimona logo look identical to the beats by Dre logo or is it just me? Good Ol Italian jimmy ivine just grabbing logos and selling them to Apple 😂
Maico also made a 660 and 700 2 stroke
isnt the engines still made? or is it the SABEl 700?
big fat 2strokes some of them only with drum brakes,insane fun. nice collection lads
When I was a kid in the late 70s there was a guy who rode a big bore Yamaha 2 stroke you could hear it echoing through the woods we were on our yz and rm 80s and 100s we would all stop riding and watch him dig up the earth with that monster loved watching him ride that . He let me and one of my friends ride it best memories
That RM is beautiful. I owned several RMs from ‘77-‘82, including a ‘75 TM125.
I miss my Rm 465 n. Beast mode
Smart girl right there it still is bad ass no doubt!!!
It makes me happy to see you guys doing what you love. Not many people can do that.
I have 86 yz 490. Handles like a pig but who cares when you got the power.
It eats cranks though. On my third crank.
But still makes me smile blasting across the Mojave.
16:45 Y'all forgot the Husqvarna 500CR
My friend had one of those. We used to have some epic battles at Walker Valley. Him on the 500 and me on my KDX-200. I don't know how he rode that thing in tight woods, but he was a big guy. I could eat him up in the tight stuff, but if it opened up, you could hear that thing coming, and when he blasted past he would shower you with mud and rocks off of the biggest fucking Trelleborg tire I ever saw. Then I would have to wait for the tight stuff to hound him again and work my way past.
twowheelsdown2002 ha do live in Washington
twowheelsdown2002 when I rode trails I went there all the time
I can't wait to ride there again. In a few years I will retire, and plan to have a small toy hauler. Looking to get a Beta 300 Xtrainer. When it comes to tight woods, less is usually more. The little Beta has the weight of a 125 with low seat height and tons of low end torque. Less top end, but I will be 60 and won't be needing mega power. Nimble and torquey is the way to go IMO for tight stuff.
Cam 48 you live in Washington too? Man you got to check out Jones creeks trails
RD500 Clearly is the Steel frame model....1983 Fireblade ?....I love this guy's enthusiasm.....but the facts and dates are miles out.
moriwaki1105 id rather have those bikes than have tons of knowledge and not have any of them lol
Yamaha rd r4oo
This guy is another example of more money than brains
It's a n RZ500 Not an RD, They had them here in Australia too, I got to ride one back in the day and they were a wicked thing to ride, lots of fun and yes Alloy frame
I owned one. Believe me, the hype is far greater than the reality. The Japanese model had an aluminum frame and was detuned significantly. He said it was a Japonese model then he said it was canadian model so who knows what it is. The steel frame was painted silver from the factory so its hard to tell what this one is.
one of those bikes is worth more than all i own
The CR is the Gem, but the RM is a close 2nd, alrhough the panels and pipe are not stock,,nice stuff!
Great looking 500 MXers...GPZ 550 is a 1982, 1981 was a dual shock model.
One word......COOL!. To cool for the pool!
Man I really envy you for getting to experience these first hand. I rode alot of them with pop growing up but I mostly owned 90s and 2000s. Great memoriez
Just like a redhead always go for the green like a true Irish
As an a boy with some Irish ethnicity, I go for the red Honda CR500, or maybe the Suzuki RM500
Irish rule.
the kx still my favorite because of the rear disk brake, comfortable seat,one of the best bar, foot peg position, very reliable liquid cooled engine with japan metals, and still very lightweight even nowaday, 1990-2018!!!..
I forgot the adjustable fork and damper
if i take a one shot bike in my all this kx should be in my choice list
😍The Rm was amazing!
www.superbikeuniverse.com/ Check out Pete's Website, his bikes are off the hook!
I own THE VERY LAST KX250 (2008) EVER made and to leave the Kawasaki Heavy Industries factory! The last 20 bikes had heap of Kawsaki parts added in spares box (eg, DID rims and hubs, ProCircuit pipe and 304 muffler etc) from the factories KRT spares & parts box and the Display & Marketing container which was done as a thankyou for the end of an era. The bike has so far done ONLY 37mins on hour meter.
Hahaha, ..KK..."Thats why we believe in God...cause hes kept us alive during riding these things"...hahaha..100% true!👍
Thank you for posting this video..my brother had an 83' RM500. Brings back some great memories seeing the RM.
BIANCHI MORRA TAMBURINI racers with registration
...and that V4 is dope, dangerous, you'd better run if you're not super experienced, very closed to Agostini last 500
Here Italy....great collection friends , BIMOTA = BIanchi-MOrra-TAmburini
Honda CR500
Husqvarna 500 CR
KTM 495
Are the only 2 strokes I find interesting
I have fond memories of that YAMAHA YZ 490. Owned two of them a 1982 and a 1986.
The Suzuki is beast!
Hola amigos yo tuve la oportunidad de tener una como esa RM500 era casi Identifica a la del video...
Les saludo desde Costa Rica Central América....!
White power shocks kinda sounds horrible today....I always thought it was white bros. Or am I thinking about something else ?
One of the most powerful 2-stroke 500cc I'm thinking was the NSR 500
total treasure in that trailer. I have a 84 KDX 450 and a 92 CR500. My only two big 2 smokers.
You guys are nuts !!! Ambidextrous broken ankles - 250’s are animals ... I wouldn’t dare try and sit on a 500 lol
Kx500 as been my favourite bike as long as I can remember a bloke over road used to have one when I was young n used to go out on back of it and still never have I felt owt like it even riding my own bikes lol his was an 89 aswell I remember it being such an absolute animal when I was young me n my mates used to jump on kick start and couldn't get it to move lol when I used to go on back of kx 500 if I didn't strap my Helmet up it would peel off and go flying into fields lol
Makes me smile! Had a YZ465, I still have 2 KTM 420s. Two stroke forever!
The 500 yamaha 2 stroke. That street bike there bad ass.when is get warm b awere of power and speed hey just b careful. Ride safe.guidance.
Where is the makio 490?? Not sure I spelled it right..but..that was a badass bike!!!!
Rz the bike to have or RD 500 as we say in UK. 50 grand uk money low mileage. Love the bikes. Keep it up
That CBR looks so right still today. I would love to see the YB8 take a few laps on a track too. This summer, I restored my 69 bright yellow Z50A K1 that my dad bought in 1970. I have three boys, 8, 6, and 2. My 2yr old makes me take him for rides on it almost every day. This is a fun hobby... now I want a CB360T. They all have been snowmobiling with me and my wife since the age of 2 also.
Merry Christmas guys. Hope to make a trip out there sometime soon.
I had the '81 KTM 495 with the dual Ohlins rear shocks. Great bike, but was scary fast.
please please please get the ktm495 running and do shootout, I'm building an 83 at the moment, would be good to see you send it
I have a yz 500 I think 79. Air cooled steel tank. Is it worth anything?
Nostalgic gold
Fire them up!
Had an 86 cr 500 when I was a teenager, damn thing tried to kill me everytime I swung a led over. It would hang wide open when it was low on gas, good times.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Restoring my 83 RM 500 as we speak
Same here 👍🇦🇺
Badass MX collection.
I use to ride (at 15) KZ 1000, kirker 4 into 1 and set of drag bars on it.
Great video really enjoyed it. I have a 85 Cam-am Sonic 500.
10:17 WP now, that brand name never sounded, uh, right....
What an awesome video! Memories...@ 46 now, all these bikes bring back some great memories. 1st bike was a 76 YZ80, then I got into racing and had 3 82 YZ80's all set up differently. I was an adrenaline junkie just like the rest of you and the 80 wasn't enough power, so I spent more time riding my brothers Suzuki TS185 (I think that's what it was). I was too small for it, couldn't put my feet on the ground, let alone kick start it unless I leaned it up against something...I would start it and ride off from a leaning position. My 97 CR250 still gets me around today. Thanks for seeing these bikes!!
Lol i did the samething with my brothers 185, i was about 9 him and my dad told me if i could start it i could ride it. Pushed up to the deck on our cabin, kicked it twice and it fired up. They both tried to stop me but i had my helmet on and took off before they could stop me. Lol i went from a Honda trail 70 to that. After that i use to steal it every chance i had and never looked back.
I miss my PE 400 now that was also a legendary bikes with the RM 250 clutch basket and main gear modification power from bottom to top.
Great job brother love what ya do keep it up. I'd love to come see the old Dirt bikes they are so bad ass
Bimota you see them in U.K. there not as expensive as what you think
My 1983 CR480 tried to kill me every time I got on it
I had the 81CR450. My first real bike after coming off a 6.5 horsepower 1964 YG1T Yamaha 80. It got voted by Dirt Bike Magazine as one of the 10 worst dirt bikes of all time. Perfect bike for a total newb that was going to be trail riding in Washington. LOL I wanted the KDX-200 but my friends said I would outgrow it. So here was this left over end of the year 450 for sale greatly reduced in price. Luckily I got a good deal on it. I rode it 6 times and sold it. It had light switch power, 4 speed tranny, hated to lug, and stalled a lot. Then you had to dismount to kick the left hand kick start. Wore me out just stalling it and starting it. I sold it and fortunately broke even. Went and got an 83 KDX-200 and learned more riding that bike than any other. Should have bought that in the first place like I wanted to do.
With you man, I had an 1986 Kx 500. It was like everytime I gave it throttle it tryed to kill me. In 1996 I bought a Cr 500 brand new but it wasnt frightening like the old Kx.
Love that KTM-495! Probably the fastest big bore 2-stroke amongst all of those bikes.
I remember when Dirt Bike Magazine took one and geared it as high as they could and got 123 mph out of it! KTM 495
550exc
That suzuki air cooled is soo sick fast all those bikes are scary fast
Nice bikes but there is no shootout ????? You should change the title !
Some beautiful bikes!

kenny@kaplancycles.com Let me know!
@Shield Liger I hope you're kidding about selling your soul. Only a moron would sell their soul, but especially for nothing more than a dirt bike. Dirt bikes are cool but some people definitely exaggerate their significance to the point of idolatry.
I had a friend who had the ktm 500 was insane
That RM is Badass!
A cousin of my best friend could ride a KTM495 on the back wheel at walking pace then take it up though the gears with the front up in the air. He was a trials rider. Tamed the beast. It was a sight to behold.
Villa 500 kicks the ass to any of these
Got trophies on Honda. Best handler Suzuki also
Супер 👍 мотоциклы!!!
Stumbled upon your channel. I had that 82 CR 480. Raced many open class races in North Georgia and North Alabama. Bringing back lots of fond memories! Would love to see your collection. I will be in Maine next fall. Hopefully see you guys then.
The KTM reminme of Rod "got a smoke?" Bush, bezt rep KTM EVER had ,and could ride like a maniac! Miss that dude tremendously.....
As Gerry B'nado said -"yabreakin my heht!"
Kaplan bros. As much as I love your video's of vintage bikes for sale, I really enjoy this type of video as well. Fantastic!
Do you run into any wr 500 2 strokes
I love that line, you know why I believe in God? Because we survived being teenagers with these bikes! I know back in the eighties, my GSXR 750 and Ninja 900 tried pretty hard to kill me.
I had the RM 500 and the KTM in a 250...Oh the memories 😁
Subscribe and stay tuned, the shootout of all these and other SICK 500;s is less than 48 hours away !!!! HIGH NOON AT THE KAPLAN COMPOUND!!!!!
I had a yz 490 think it was a 89.....red and white......what a beast.....hard to start though.
Man !!! I ❤️this video, this is like the 15th time Ive seen it.
There are collectors and then there are cool collectors. The Jay Leno of bikes. Real passion for motorcycles. Take care.👍✌🙌☝️👌
Man these dudes are cool as shit
Got a the gold chain not the belt
Good stuff! I have an 1985 cr500 can't even start it anymore because of lower back problems. Getting my back worked on so hopefully be riding it again.
Call me if you want to sell it 860 916 9784
@@KaplanCycles I wrote your number down. I might be interested in selling it.
The Ktm is hard
Awesome guys!! The bikes of my youth!
wow look at them big bores.. nice. [yz 465 guy here]
Yep, you are absolutely correct about that ATK 406! It is an absolute beast. It is the closest thing to a MAICO power plant only it's made in the good ole USA! Mine is in original condition and boy does it pack a punch! Not many of these still around.
