I had to giggle watching him, looking back at the roost. Brings every dirt bike rider to his youth when we all use to look back at our roosts. 😅😅 Just watching the dirt fly. I see that never changes no matter how old we get!!

Haha And when the roost looks like that it's impossible not to have a cheeky peek! Thanks for watching dude

[@paddy2661]

Thought the same if only my 2strokes could've achieved rooster tail's like that gold. Every 2 strokers dream for a fang on a beast like that , can it be topped Max ? Is there a bigger beast out there. Absolutely gold video thanks Max

I use to ride dirt bikes and go to new and different trails when I was younger. Now I'm 65 and just love to watch the younger generation. Health wise I unfortunately can't do anymore. A 250cc was enough for me. I love your videos Max, so keep up your great work and keep the awesome videos coming. God bless you and all your family and all riders.

[@vancemacd6315]

I seen many with broken arms and collar bones from 250's. More then enough to scare the crap out of ya.

[@vegardberve]

Let me get this straight; Custom bottom end built from a 1098 crankshaft, custom aluminium frame (and swingarm) containing not just the fuel tank but also the coolant, and it was all done in like a year or so? That is just incredibly impressive! As an mechanical engineer I feel a bit redundant seeing stuff like this..... And awesome video as always Max! Really cool seeing you doing this youtube-thing together with your old man. I have followed you since you only had a couple of subscribers, really cool seeing what you have been able to do the last couple of years, hope you are enjoying this as much as us, your viewers!

[@999lazer]

Thanks so much for such an awesome comment. I can't tell you how much that means to have feedback like that. Its not easy juggling it with my day job, but I wouldn't have it any other way. And as for Sebastien....his engineering skills are insane. People like him make the world a better place :)

The CR-500 and KX-500...they both would beat my It-490, they beat the KTM-550...and it beat the WR500..... Now my old Husky 500 XC....it could sort of hang with a CR500......perhaps a toss up...but I didn't quite have the balls and enough room.... And in those days...the bikes weren't like super tuned...I mean we did the best we could with what we had I will watch this twin CR500 on hillclimb day... Good job goes to the French.

Thanks for sharing, young man, 62 year old 2stroke junky from the states. Your post made me remember the fun I had back in the mid 70's to mid 80's. I was Enduro back then. 1979 Husqvarna 250 wide range was my poison. I don't care what anyone says, 2strokes rule the turf and personal water craft. The power band is like trying to compare apples to oranges between 2 and 4 stroke. The 4 stroke always fails when you need it most. Have fun and be save out there, and always respect the machine, for it has no feelings or conscience. Cheers 😊

[@jamessmith84240]

13:58 Damn that sound took me back. When I was a teenager I had a little Kawasaki KDX125 that I used to ride for fun on the fields. One day when I was out riding, a random guy came to ride with us on his CR500. It had no baffles or anything in the exhaust. To this day never heard a louder internal combustion engine in real life. Even through my helmet and the sound of my own bike at full throttle, his bike was simply ear drum shattering.

[@sandmanbub]

Yes, I definitely want to see this bike in action. Go back and record it in competition if you're able to. Thanks so much for this.

[@999lazer]

Thanks for watching John! The plan is for us to meet up with Team LCH in August at the Arette Hill climb. That'll be a fun weekend for sure!

Even with this tremendous amount of power and torque, the bikes seems to be kinda of smooth to ride. Props to the rider Sebastien for making it looks so easy to handle. I would love to see that in person to get a real idea of how gnarly this bike sounds. Very high quality content mate.

it doesnt look even slightly smooth though 😂

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

You're trippin bro. Its his bike he knows how to ride it smooth and and make it look easy. I ride superbikes and i thought 450's were twitchy, 😂the moment he went and I saw that throttle response I knew myself and most riders in general would probably whiskey throttle that mfer the first time and get a huge fright. Would love to try tho

Absolutely insane. Grew up riding a cr500. Still have it. To see those top ends turned into something like this...simply awesome.

Awesome! It runs, behaves and sounds like a 1:8 RC car with a nitro engine. Insane power / weight ratio.
