1986 Honda CR 500 ATC

[@scrambler250r]

First, ATC 500, badass goes without saying! But love the fold back seat, love the CT silencer, & finally, love the fact that you touched the motor itself(& not the pipe) to show it's cold!

[@CosmikDebrisFZ]

That is a badass machine! Back in 86 I had an 86 250R. I can’t imagine a 500 in it... Damn!!👍🏻💪🏻

[@DUNEATV]

Great bike! The 250r three wheelers handle great at the dunes. They keep the tires on the sand going over transitions and are much lighter than quads. Been riding at the dunes for 25 years and don't like my quad as much as my 250r in the sand.

[@terrysigmon3119]

Over the years I have had at least 20 3 wheelers. I love them. My 250R was my favorite.

[@yeahwerepthesamesmartech7113]

Such a bad ass bike. Only certain few realize what exactly u have here

[@JohnDoe-hm1cb]

What bike? It's a ATC...

[@avzeolla]

3 wheelers were so much fun but too many people were getting hurt. it sucks they stopped making them. by the way, the neighbors must love this guy! ha

[@RoadHead62]

The problem was, who was determining what "Too Many People" meant. More people died in car crashes in 1984 than all on and off road motorcycle and ATC crashes combined. Like 10 fold. No one banned cars. I'd really like to find out the true story behind the killing of the ATC.

[@traviseastlick5342]

more ppl are hurt on stairs, over parenting by a fictional government.

[@ROTAXD]

Aye Zee the only ones getting injured/killed were the retards with 0 common sense...and it eas a great way to cull the herd. The fact that liberal judges were awarding the families of these fuctards millions is nothing short of sickening.

[@faithismine128]

+ROTAXD I had a 200 Big Red and stripped the racks to lighten it up. At age 13. Great times. The experience of riding that probably saved my life when I bought my VFR1000 in 91.

[@jimmychambers1501]

More people are hurt from the crabs

[@matt_selby]

Compression stroke... Nice.

[@Damalk82]

That's sick man.... it's funny that they stopped making three wheelers because people didn't know how to ride them.... you can get hurt on Any bike if you don't know what your doing so.... I say bring em back....

[@buckbundy8642]

Damalk82 I here you man! There are a few companies making them out of 450Rs with CRF frames and forks. The make custom triple clamps, many other pieces. I hear the price is through the roof and wait times are insane.

[@danielbrinlee9939]

Ernie Desjardins 500x? Wtf? I have the 1986 350x and 1983 250R. Was the 500x a conversion? Never heard of it.

very cool! Those old 500's were a lot of fun. Too bad Honda doesn't make them anymore.

nice build,500 conversion,extended swinger and it still pulls the front tire,nice…..has anyone ever told you that you like like Lou from car fix haha he's a funny ass dude and knows his stuff,on cars that is,anyways your a lucky dude.enjoy it,never sell it.

[@leo89us]

thats badass, props to those who have rode a 500, some talk crap but i owned a kx and lined up with 250s that had work done and a 660 raptor and left them in the dust 500 2 strokes have a raw power like no other 250 and 450 guys just fall in love with they're bikes because they haven't ridden the real bull yet lol

[@j.p.6675]

Love it. Nothing sounds better than a good old 2 stroke.

[@jdeitzjr]

I built a cr500 trx Honda! Raced it for many years. I had a 2 86 trx250r's and put the cr500 in one and just fully moded the other yes and raced from 250 through open class with mostly wins... More to it than just put a big engine in! Just a professional tip. You're dealing with radixal torque... "Need for Speed" "Adrenaline Junkie"

Nice bike, sounded a bit rough when you rode it but you could tell it was cold . Let her warm up really well before doing a sound demo next time as newbies will say all sorts of things about carb or engine issues not knowing any better.

[@CBRHurricane6]

That thing is a beast! Awesome

[@gbshaw107]

+imharo1 beautiful trike man. I had one similar to it, but I traded it for a restored 89' rm125. Still wish I held onto my 3 wheeler though. Keep it around for as long as possible, I have a feeling they're going to start gaining value as time goes on.

[@o.w.dobbins6927]

Damn I miss those premix 2 strokes!!....love that big ole expansion chamber exhaust (:

[@bearcanuck2916]

That's awesome! I used to ride a CR500. Smoke? Normal for cold start on a cr500. And idle? cr 500s notoriously don't keep running long if u don't crack the throttle - they're meant to GO not idle like a 250. Fing awesome ride dude!

[@forwarddrive4066]

Nice ATC!👍 Suggest letting warm up at least 60 seconds longer than what you did in this video, 4 min without throttling at all, just straight idle would be perfect for this big 2 stroke.👍👏 Thanks again for posting , very enjoyable video 👏

had 86 250R and that was THE FASTEST.. I've also ridden 500 liq cooled Honda 2 strokes.. techniqly... that's the fastest 3 wheeler Ive heard of! VERY COOL!!!
