When warm try wide open throttle my 82 would only start that way rode it for 9 years with a Bosch single Platinum plug from an 1982 supra

Just another big 2-stroke POS...

Thumper

Amper poes frilkels neer

Apparently all the helmets were locked up again.

Om 🎉grande saund 🎉

Back in th day bro.

It's Michael stivic from Archie dude you need to straighten out your rear fender

Nothing beats the vintage yamaha.

Rude !

The power wouldn't scare me, but the drum brakes would.

You can smell the power! Those were tough bike's. ✌️

💯💜

If i remember correctly my buddies was a 4spd 🤔 am i remembering that right? Damn that was so long ago... geewiz im gettin old 😔

I'm building an 83 490 now. Did the head mod. Ported it for even more top end, will probably get a DG top end pipe and silencer too. I have an 84 RM-250 built that way, and it is sick, can't wait to ride it!

I had an 85 and a 91 490. 1 down 3 up watch 2nd gear it will hurt ya lol

Que belleza!!! Hermosa maquina!!

looks like a fun Neiborhood

2-STROKE SUPREMACY !!!

Funny.....it's what I learned to ride on. My friend had three bikes and that was the one I usually wound up on. He had a YZ465, YZ490 and a 1983 CR480. The 480 was a man killer and the shock was crap on his 465. All kinds of nostalgia in that driveway. My brother had a 66 ford pickup in 1982.

U ride that bike like an absolute amature

damn, looks like your down here in Fl.

messing with the timeline too ride your brand new dirtbike around in 2021 🤦🏻

I had a 490 J. 4 gear race setup. Freaky beast when ya 16 and 50 kilos. 1 rear tire to a tank. It wasn't slow 🦘💨✌️

Bike was cool, crappy ride, and no helmet!

Lmao nice bike they were fun 🤘 but man you looked about as comfortable on that thing as an ice cube in the oven 😆😆😆😆 been a while I take it lol🤘

I had a 465 and a 490 for many years. These were great woods and dessert machines, if you can hang on to them...

Yeah ive had a couple I never let that front tire touch the ground lol

Those Yamaha bikes kicked ass in the day!

I got a ride on The back of one. when I was about 10 years old. Scared the crap out of me

Rear tire looks flat, Most people couldnt start one or the newer YZ465, red and white, it was brutal to start., good condition a lot of compression., All 2 strokes i would warm them up for several min, before riding them, no matter the temp out. 👍👍🍺🍺

Love this.... but CR 500 Elsinore! Hard to beat! But thanks man!

Ahhh l had one also back in the day. Almost broke my leg kicking it over. Mine sounded the same crazy powerful could climb a tree.

Guy looks like Hans from the movie, The Burbs.

I had a 1976 Yomaha YZ 990 LOL

Care that compression will RIP a cheap pair of sneakers off and your foot, I had a ya 465 damm that power basin 3red gear, you could go from 45 to 100 really really quick !!!

Sooooo lame

I love the rubber boots/suspenders combo. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

Eny one remember the Honda 500 red rocket, fast bike back in the day

I tried riding one a few times . But I could never get it & myself over a log , at the same time .

I can't remember which was the bigger rush, taking it out for a ride, or coming back in one piece........

They are pretty decent once you throw some money at its engine problems.

Do I smell Bel-ray

Excelente motocicleta lo que falta es piloto.!

That's a scary bike

The good old days! I wish I could find one!
