Your subs are going to Skyrocket! with Emma in your vlogs, keep giving her rides on bikes ken... just realized this was 2 years ago

[@Onlybhstrpes]

Without a doubt... Emma does her squats

[@jasonpeters9390]

It amazes me what old motorcycle are still around in great condition in America I always thought that America was a throw away country nice to see I am wrong and there are people into old motorcycle like me and other people

[@MarcS4R]

she should be on more often

[@TNTORNADO]

I love the fact that y'all get in vintage bikes I love Kaplan cycles and want a Kaplan shirt. Kaplan is number 1 period

[@KaplanCycles]

Jason Gilley thanks brother I love you guys

[@SanpietroDesigns]

I just picked up this same bike. 1980 GS550E with only 2000 miles on it. It’s gotta be one of the lowest mileage, 44 year old, GS550’s in the country. Can’t wait to get her back on the road.

[@kenharris8743]

That girl is beautiful you're going to get a latte vuse because of that! You guys should have her test ride some of the small bikes you'll get even more views.

[@joedeleon3435]

I would absolutely purchase this motorcycle.. as long as Emma comes with it! Total hottie!

[@kirkin2006]

0:49 that's real power.

[@jmartin567]

hop on Emma

[@gabeonelio9139]

I’ve got a 79 ge550e myself, I love it!

[@rossilake218]

Kenny, I own one with 750 anti-dive front forks and aluminum 750 swing arm.My bike has Vance &Hines 4-into-1 pipe and Meier sport fairing. Wheels are painted yellow where black was. That seat is cool.Say hey to A.J.

[@haraldfilipancic7084]

was my first bike in 1980---good machine and reliable

[@laurent4561]

What a pretty bike. I saw a very old one Suzuki 1000 from the late 70´s in parís in Suzuki showroom : so nice Thanks for the video ride on body, God bless America !

[@Johnclark300]

And these bikes are extremely reliable

[@joelonsdale]

But can't stop for shit!

[@jamesellis5549]

dig the bike and the Gary Nixon leathers

[@fresnohighlander]

I bought a black one that was crashed for $900 (it was 1 year old) I straightened the fork tubes, shaved the seat, put a 4 into 1 Kerker on it, and short shocks

[@jamesbaxterandthebeachball7005]

You get some of the most interesting rides ...

[@stevensegaloetdemelderse5059]

That is one cool and rad bike. Nice popping colour and obviously well maintained. superb!

[@rocket2811]

Are you guys watching model Suzuki or model Emma😎

[@joelonsdale]

Suzu-what?

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Had one. Very smooth, reliable and slow.

[@DenMotosGeck]

What a beautiful bike man! The GS550 is way too underrated! I have the GS750 btw :) greets from Europe - Luxembourg ^^

[@hoganlongfellow]

Livin the dream!

[@nakoawarrior3186]

It looks very similar to my 1980 KZ550 sport. I have the factory manual for Suzuki's like that bike.

[@scudonepercenter]

Oh man I had one! '79 GS550E and in yellow. Kinda regret selling it but it needed a helluva lot of work.

[@Unlucky13_s]

Love the center-stand, coolest thing that comes with the gs series

[@boloarroyo787]

El sonido de esos motores es lo maximo espero subas mas videos como estos muy buenos aunque no hablo ingles me identificó mucho con esas motos

[@garywinterbottom6073]

These had rollerball bearings on the crankshaft so much stronger bottom end.

[@nicstr28]

I had an 81 GS 550 ES I bought for $350 and was damn near mint. Thing screamed. Should a held onto it.

[@kennethhacker1341]

Yr slick Capt!!!!Emma!!!!!hehehe

[@JC-uq7tp]

These vids have been popping up in my feed lately. Theres always a hot young girl in short khaki shorts and mah man straight out of 1987 stoked on these ujm’s. Im not hating its just.. kinda weird. But i appreciate it. Rock on 🤘🇺🇸

[@josephkaple8923]

My first street bike was a 81 GS550E that was burgundy it was a very smooth bike.

[@paulmuller8262]

OMG was für ein schönes Mädchen....Nein das Motorrad sollte doch vorgestellt werden....Die Lederjacke...DAS MOTORRAD!!!

[@59jaguar]

I once rode a gs 550 Lx from Los Angeles to Rhode Island without a problem one summer.

[@travishaynes1180]

Another beautiful %100 BADASS vintage machine !! It still looked way way better with the smokin 🔥hot brunette on it.

[@maxdavies5776]

Kaplan u could do the car display all the famous movie cars around the world dealerships. The hollywood as well.

[@tsaipod]

Awesome bike!

[@mikestowe6136]

that's a cool looking bike i don't know why i think you'll run out of vintage bikes to buy

[@MrColdwatercanyon]

Sweet

[@midlifemotoz4499]

Wow! 🤩

[@jessebarnes7859]

Park that bike next to the 89 cr 500 an they can share the spotlight together

[@ryanrocksteady1355]

I’d like to get a seat like that for my own GS550E but the wind was blowing into the mic when you said the brand name and I couldn’t understand what you said. Can you tell me the manufacturer, please? Thanks.

[@joelonsdale]

I had one of those, although not as nice as that one! I loved that bike but the brakes - holy cow - terrible.

[@rickconstant6106]

UK and European spec had twin discs on the front, and they stop just fine. It was only for the US market they decided stopping wasn't important.

[@joelonsdale]

@@rickconstant6106 But rear drum brakes - absolutely terrible!

[@rickconstant6106]

@@joelonsdale Yes, that's something that's hard to understand - UK models like mine had rear discs, but they went back to drums in the US. Must have saved them some money, I suppose.

[@tauntonengine3]

Beautiful bike. I know just a quick ride but ATGATT.

[@rustyshackleford2627]

It’s nice but it’s sooo quiet !!! My 1986 Nighthawk 450 roars compared to it !!! 👍👍👍

[@yzmoto80]

The seat and rear fender looks like an attempt to copy a HD XR 750 seat and fender. 😎

[@user-jq1yp1uz1d]

Hello. Fantastic bike.The front windshield from what bike is?

[@xanderpercy1533]

When you mention the Yoshimura factory race bike with a big bore kit, the wind obscured what you were saying - what's the name of that big bore kit? I'm trying to track one down for my own 1980 GS550E build...

[@KaplanCycles]

It's a 615cc yoshi kit, unobtanium by now...

[@billbright1755]

Emma 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏍️

[@ericdebisz9458]

I'm going to comment wisely here. "Click bate" is not the Kaplan way folks. We are here for the bikes, right? If I may make one suggestion. Lapel mic boys. Not sure if you are videoing with a phone or what but drives me insane when I can't hear you guys. I was going to comment on the cr500 vid. I wanted to hear what you guys were saying about jetting it. I'm done bitchn, I apologize.

[@josephwinkler4863]

You can tell that bike is Carbureted correctly by the gold tint on the header pipes You know it’s a nice bike when there’s a beautiful chick standing beside it and you can’t take your eyes off the bike

[@calemarlow2283]

are you wolverine

[@KaplanCycles]

yes

[@MrDjh66]

Do you have any 1982 Yamaha IT 175s?

[@user-jq1yp1uz1d]

Of what motor is the front mica?

Is that Buddy Repperton?!😆👍🏻

Rule # 1 always wear eye protection on a motorcycle ( even passengers)

[@michaelkuzma582]

take that nose fairing off

[@joelabriola6289]

No offense but Emma is better looking then you! Lol

[@KaplanCycles]

Let's see if that's the case when she's 53 , you're right she's absolutely stunningly gorgeous on top of that she's a real sweetheart she worked with us all summer as an intern one of the nicest girls I've met my son should have dumped the crazy blonde he was dating and went out with Emma but one of the other guys did instead
