Sounds evil.

[@ThePurePlayaz]

Shout out Ron for talking SR into taking it on the road and across the street.. That thing is worthy of it..

[@RRM707]

It also has an upgraded headlight. The stock ones are a joke.

[@fairwindmarine8317]

I have 6,000 miles 200 hours on my 501 just basic maintenance no problems. Should probably take a peak at valves…or not

[@fairwindmarine8317]

Also that one sounds way better than mine

[@SimplicityForGood]

With your experience now with this bike and that you maybe seen a lot of similar bikes before you bought yours may I ask you what you think now in 2024 of how to best consider and choose then between, Gas-Gas, Husqvarna, and the KTM 500 cc… They seem very similar… but which one might be a little better in what regard and in what situations? I want a year-around bike for all climates, sand, rain, snow, cold, heat and with the feeling you always have a lot of fun! What about spare parts availability and cost between these brands today? And the Maintenance simplicity between the brands? … Thanks for any and all advice! This is a cool bike, love to get this type! 😎

[@badbruise]

Someone having a wheelie good time😂

[@ar2043]

🙏 NAILED IT!!!! 🤣 🏆 🥇 🏅 👑

[@Franz_Schmid]

sooo good

[@patrickstenkilsson5676]

That's the offroad version fe501 that's street legal in his state.my brother bought same year bike fe 501s in California where we live and they're all chocked up with smog bs so you have to get a pipe and vortex ignition or similar to get them to run right and spend 1500 on a brand new bike to get the power back to how it should be be, that beast is already uncorked and ready to rip. California laws suck😢

[@sonnyseabury4051]

I wish that the whackadoo environmental tree huggers in California wouldn't have taken away all of the fun for us 2 stroke lovers. They're batshit crazy, and the upsetting and ironic part of all of those controlling people, is that they often don't follow the rules and laws that they make for people like myself and you to follow. They should never be allowed to be exempt from their dictatorlike, strongarming, and insane laws. Airplanes in the sky create much more pollution in the environment, as well as many other common things doing the same, compared to 2 stroke dirtbikes. These days, if people want to buy a 2 stroke jap dirtbike, that's over 85cc, they have very few choices to pick from to buy. Thank God for GasGas, KTM, and Husqvarna doing their own thing. Take care brother.

[@AOL0321]

That exhaust is NASTY! Love it!

[@Lracer61]

Anyone thinking about buying one of these do it! Love my ktm one

[@SimplicityForGood]

Anyone that can now in 2024 how to best consider and choose then between, Gas-Gas, Husqvarna, and the KTM 500 cc… They seem very similar… but which one might be a little better in what regard and in what situations? I want a year-around bike for all climates, sand, rain, snow, cold, warm and with the feeling you always have a lot of fun! What about spare parts availability and cost? Maintenance simplicity? … Thanks for any and all advice! This was a fun video, love to get this type of bike! ❤

[@CJRSBK]

That is a monster anyone says 4T are slow dirtbikes watch this monster

[@ronaldspins]

Ken just broke the Doug Domokos wheelie record !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GaryElizabethWoodrow]

Haha love it I'm about to ride my 2019 KTM 500 FMF tuned braaaaapppp

[@CJRSBK]

Power House ❤

[@sparkoceanic]

Great feeling frame on these bikes. I have a 2023 te300 2 stroke, and i'm pretty sure they are almost identical frames and geometry. Great fun to ride, and they feel very nimble. Stay safe everyone

[@mainebigfoothunter7088]

Those kids on bicycles were watching and dreaming of day they could trade their bikes motorcycles

[@johnboticki9154]

Just bought a 2021 701. Such sweet machines.

[@derekwoodworth260]

Wonder how that thing would hold up against the cr500

[@sonnyseabury4051]

I think the CR 500 would beat it in torque, has a much more aggressive powerband, and in a straightline drag race in the dirt, would smoke it.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Always loved the big bore thumpers, when it came to 4 stroke enduros. You can run errands around town, ride it to the track, race it, and ride it home. That is one sick and impressively equipped bike. Love it's exhaust note. No doubt in my mind that she hauls ass!

[@gingerhill4523]

Kick Ass is Right. I just stole one that Also only has 1100 miles on it from my friend for Only 7k and She had 2 sets of wheels for it, DS Tires and Moto Tires. I'm a Lucky Girl! 🙂

[@sissygoog9456]

Awesome dirt bike thank you Ken for the info thank you Ronnie New England Motorcycle Museum Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America🇺🇲

[@jrs4ex]

Ken you guys should do a video on the young man from Putnam CT that had his Husqvarna and Honda dirt bike stolen. It was his Make A Wish gift as he barely beat his fight with leukemia. There’s a $2500 reward for the 2) dirt bikes stolen. Your viewers could help spread the word to keep an eye out. Special place in hell for some jerks that stole dirt bikes from a kid that beat cancer.

[@DillonRehel]

What’s the maintenance on something like this?

[@davelambardo6464]

Depending on how hard you ride them and if you want to fallow manufacturer recommend times exactly or not , your looking at 1 1/4 quarts of premium oil every 6 - 25 hours . I run mine little longer in the winter months when I am off road more. In summer I hit more road, change more often.

[@nicholasnewton6775]

What a ripper

[@JamesSykes-l8g]

Sounds naughty even though I'm 2 stroke till I die

[@sonnyseabury4051]

I'm the same way brother. I started riding 2 strokes at the age of 5 years old in 1978. Fifty years old now, with an even bigger love of 2 stroke dirtbikes. Only 4 strokes I have ever owned are sportsbikes. When it comes to dirtbikes, 2 strokes are a must, because I'm addicted to their torque, and their aggressive powerbands. Take care, brother.

[@jdmenterprises807]

Husky or Gas Gas 500

[@RR31982]

I think he likes it😂😂

[@leevail3729]

I have the KTM. I want to see Kaplan America go full banana sandwich on that thing.

[@Evergreenprospectors]

Ive really ben looking at those a lot

[@MatthewJohnson-o4x]

This bike looks faster than the electric bike on the road cause he was hauling ass when he went by the camera man

[@frankwilliams2198]

Come on Big K take it home keep it ride the hell out of it and you can do future videos of you riding it at home.

[@3XTS]

I have the TE300 2 stroke version of this machine and I love it. Now I kind off want a 501 LOL

[@BushmanCanuck]

I just got one. The 300 is more flickable and my choice for woods but I love being able to ride from home on the 501 and still rip the single track!

[@double-oseven5725]

A properly opened up 2021 to 2023 FE501 is arguably the best big bore dirt bike model series ever. They are the lightest and lowest c.o.g. too. One needs a G2 throttle tamer for best control tho.

[@KaplanCycles]

I agree 100%

[@Pompomgrenade]

😂 God bless, Kaplan cycles

[@davidl546]

Wow! Nice Husky....and street legal!

[@heathcarr1105]

How it's is vs Jr's 700? I've got a 700 but it was hard for me to choose between the two. I went with the 700 for the difference in the service and planning to use it on the road a good bit.

[@KaplanCycles]

700 is much faater and better road bike

[@imafackinjunglist]

Looks more street than dirt.

[@craighoffman6876]

Sweet machine! Some people seem to enjoy building missiles like this and then not riding them much. That is a money losing proposition that makes for a great used bike buy. That bike belongs in the Western desert and/or mountains, where it can stretch it's legs properly. That bike would be a little much for the East coast woods. Saw the title and knew there would be lots of brappy wheelies, and wasn't disappointed. Now I just need to watch the GasGas 700 video again 😆

[@sandc4803]

I just got a 2005 HUSABURG fs650 let me know what your thoughts are Ken please thanks god bless

[@Creo.Dawg85]

Damn he was cooking

[@miggs2964]

Get a 701 sm

[@KaplanCycles]

We have fun of course the gas gas version full Rottweiler kit it's a monster

[@jethrox827]

Rips another a hole 👍

[@douglasgrosch228]

can you do more REVIEW on STARK VARG ?? that was great video when you just got one in - thanks /put a speaker system on it big bore 2 stroke sound !!

[@bfox87]

I need this, would be a good upgrade from my 08 te450 dual sport

[@bobg1219]

Beast!

[@mainebigfoothunter7088]

Beautiful machine! It inspires me to get my XR500R running

[@markzoned]

What happened with the sale of the bike? I thought it had a higher bid than it sold for. 🤔

[@KaplanCycles]

Deadbeat bidder messaged us and asked us to retract his bid because he didn't think you could register in his state then he contacted us again and said he still wanted to buy it we told him to get his head straight before he enters any more bids because he was a little confused

[@thecodfather4425]

that bike sounds like the devil coming down the road.Sick

[@scatpack440]

Beautiful machine, but miss the ping ga ding ding!

[@majorlee1]

Not much you can’t tackle with a 501 ultimate machine 💪

[@davelambardo6464]

These bikes are sooo easy to ride very fast or very slow. They are single track eating works of art.

[@agnesrenoncourt5655]

Salut Kaplan America quelle belle machine et ce bruit magnifique.quel talent pour le pilote ❤😮 David le français

[@gregkeller80]

KZbin Search: Aussiest interview ever….thats gotta be the wizard

[@HarryCallahan-tf3qr]

If I won the lottery I'd buy it immediately!!!!

[@MatthewJohnson-o4x]

That thang has so much torque it should have a Reece hitch

[@paulbrinston3336]

Keep the bike Ken! Only on this earth once 🚀🚀🚀

[@damienoregan6211]

Listening to the sound of this bike is better than music .

[@davt8615]

That's a cracking all rounder 💯

[@auntjanet2346]

I just missed out on a local 2020 501s that I was hoping to look at this weekend, guy sold it Thursday night. The hunt continues!

[@KaplanCycles]

[@darrenwilliams4155]

[@minibikemadman]

[@CJRSBK]

[@minibikemadman]
