It catches those guys on that uphill section real quick. So much power going up those hills. What a monster.

This video shows me how good this guy can ride. Wow. And that this old 500 has been kept well. Awesome video!

I love that he was barely even tapping the motors potential and he’s still moving that fast

I remember being at Lake Sugartree in 86 and 87 when the 125/500 nationals raced there. It was unbelievable to see and hear 40 500cc bikes take off from the start line. It shook the ground. Damn I miss those days.

You rode that BIG BORE 2 stroke like you stole it! 28 year old suspension and handling. Shows how the manufacturers want us to believe how far things have advanced. Technology is great for some things but this shows in some areas it's better left simple. 2 Strokes forever! Nice ride you ROCKED!

Nice riding, makes me wish I was 28 years younger, I would be 28 and in great shape to be riding my YZ 465. Believe me friends have all the fun you can before your body wears out. Because once your joints are shot you are through.

I'm 54 and just hearing that sound again gets me going. 2 stroke are what dirt bikes should be again. They last forever and are cheap to build.

Anyone else move their head as the corners were taken? 3 year update: Didn’t realise so many people replied...cheers! I watched the vid again & my head freak’in still moves...& I felt self disappointment when another rider’s wheel came into view a couple of minutes in on the right. Then I finished with envy cause this dude can ride WAY better than me. Way to go 👍

man the low end torque on this thing is amazing, right when you think hes lugging it and out of the power band, it just takes off. the guy in front was riding like a maniac wow

I remember my brother saying "If you can start it you can ride it" Good times!

Cool video. Brought back some memories. I was pretty competent on my kx125 but regularly rode my mates Kx500 in loose sandy dirt. The thing was a beast lighting up the rear end in 3rd was like the back wheel was seriously trying to overtake the front. Great fun. To all those who never rode a 500 two stroke, you missed out.

The CR500 is a timeless machine. Always fun.
