[@cecilyt006]

I'm not sure which is more shocking; how fast you are leaving fast bikes in your dust, OR the fact that the CR stays wherever you put it in a corner. Epic video!

[@curtisbrennan7134]

cecilyt006 the fact that hes doing over 200km an hour and when he cracks the throttle he catwalks

[@snkneo-geo933]

Those Superbikes are barely touching the throttle mate 🤦‍♂️

Passing everybody and that CR was hardly running. LOL!! Good video.

the speed you hold in turn one is unbelievable, and late breaking! ...wow motard weapon.

one of the best videos i've ever seen. i had a '96 in mx trim. it'd pull trees outta the ground. this guy makes them other fools look like, well, fools.

[@btmgng4316]

That 500 sounds better than all the street bikes combined

[@xGxPhantomZzz]

A big 4 stroke with an Akra or LV oder something like that sounds nice too. But 750s SuMos sound like a Tractor, like gurgling, it's really nice. (if you use it as an A2)

[@tangerineRIDES13]

Nothing like the smell of premix in the morning. Great vid

[@gregsciorti]

the power of the 2 stroke

[@leaparker1511]

I think this maybe the best video on youtube, thank you for sharing, never sell the bike, I've had 5 of these bikes and allot of others, the CR500 will always be special to me.

[@raygun2163]

Safe and quick. Great ride. You never know what line a lot of those guys are going to use.

[@PhuketMyMac]

Awesome man!

[@lukecadman601]

I can remember riding a cr 500 2000 model around a track. 110klm/hr. In second. And DR 600. Suzuki. Was getting up to 4th gear. On the same track. Geez there powerful 🤪

[@tfk_woody0190]

Holy shit I needed that! I have been pointing out to my family lately dickheads on bikes, its rear to find someone who has the balls to pin it and shift up, as opposed to the noise making boy racers local to me that think if your making heaps of noise in the same gear you the fastest ever. Awesome riding there man it was a real pleasure to speed along with you!

[@GregQuillen]

Damn ur flying by people. . What was the lap times?

[@TheJoesmoe1987]

Great looks so much fun

[@MisterPetrolhead]

How's the maintenance of the Cr500, is it reliable and when do you do a top end ?

[@GamingTechMachines]

Awsome. Made my day did that. :)

[@tylerrogowski]

What kind of triple clamps are those? I recently changed mine for asphalt and it made a huge difference. Went from chopper to razor

and again and again.....

[@mwhitelaw8569]

nice scoot man what sprockets you usin' ....sounds like moon gearing

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

What sprockets did you replace from the stock ones? Definitely been regeared. My race bikes were a 83 cr480 and a 87 cr500 this 500 has been tamed through the regearing changes alot easier than the violent power of the stock motocross racing bike

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

Nice bike i thought of making one of my 500s a supermoto

[@leisure3596]

That old girl picking up the front end whenever he lets her climb on the pipe. Sweet.

Great vid ,the coversion really works well on tar race track,i had a 89 cr500 MX man i wish i'd kept it ,how do you fine the vibration in the alloy frame .

What sort of hp you getn outa this puppy?

[@alienchaser636]

BRING BACK THE 500S 2S

[@cottomscustoms]

video was awesome. im super jealous, I love the bike . Sounds like when your at a low rpm & you go full throttle that the motor is bogging a little bit. not sure if it's running rich or if you purposely have it that way for the long wide open runs so not to run it lean but other tab that the bike is super bad ass. I'll be looking for more videos.

[@AdventureBronson]

Jim Cottom , it's geared tall to run over 100mph and jetted rich to run cool and not seize.

[@cottomscustoms]

I figured you had it running rich on purpose if not it would surely seize from the long full throttle straights. You obviously know what your doing the bike handles & runs better than any other I've seen set up for supermoto . It wouldn't take too much more to be able to pull away from the big cc bikes. Keep the videos coming.

[@Nick-dz4ml]

lol dude.. 41mm carb??

what power

[@stephan5481]

2 stroke 💪🏻

[@The613MC]

jbcohe What setup are you running for front brakes? Ive been looking for a front lever setup like that but cant seem to find one. Id love to have a reservoir with a twist cap instead of the crappy philips screws...

[@AdventureBronson]

It's a 13mm Brembo master cylinder that I got new from Yoyodyne. The caliper is a Motomaster 4 piston with Motomaster race pads. The combo works really good together and is inexpensive. I have no plans to change it.

[@JuanGarcia-eb7jo]

I just turn my cell to wide screen and enjoyed

[@jessstuart7495]

What size of rear sprocket are you using (how many gear teeth) ?

[@AdventureBronson]

Jess Stuart, the gearing is 15/38.

[@Cheyne666Stoking]

FUCK FUCKING FUCK YES MATE. ABSOLUTE MOTARD MADNESS.

[@pronderk207]

Smoking the 4 strokes

[@bradymoritz]

keep it well below that scary power band!

[@enginesandoutdoors3238]

brady moritz hitting the powerband isn’t the property riding technique

[@paroutdiok_awesome]

Isn't engine breaking forbidden on a two-stroke? Or is that a myth? Ive heard that due to lack of permanent lubrication, 2-strokes need gas-oil mixture in order to work properly hence downshifting and engine breaking deprives the cylinder of adequate lubrication. Correct me if im wrong. Epic video!

[@leweee]

paroutdiok what you said is correct but it's only a problem if you can't afford to rebuild it and I'm guessing the bike in this video is a track bike

[@tucks6485]

Looks like you got the clutch problem fixed. Sounds and runs good man. Couldn't see your top speed, what was it??

[@AdventureBronson]

My Vapor speedo broke, but based on what the Aprilia SXV550 guys were saying I'd put the top speed with this gearing (15/38) at about 115 mph.

[@amg409]

You fast! What do you think of a sumo WR450, CRF450, or a DRZ for NYST?

[@1pelikone]

crf is definitely the fastest since its a race ready bike, but wr 450 and drz require less maintenance.

[@tidepods3182]

He was going atleast 100mph in that straight stretch

[@Hunter_S-fr4ns]

Music!!! To my ears

[@giovannigaribay5997]

whats the mpg on your bike? its crazy cause i have an older cr500, and it would finish the whole tank in like 45 min or 1 hour of riding it very hard...my cr250 would last me up to 5 hours with a oversized tank..

[@ProLudicrous]

maybe your carb wasnt well regulated?

[@AdventureBronson]

Giovanni, I have the bike jetted very rich. It gets about 25-27 MPG under heavy throttle conditions like this, or 30 on the street going close to the speed limit.

[@tommythenice6799]

It could totally be the jetting too rich, my crf 250 was carbureted with somewhat like a 105 jet if i recall, and then by fiddling about the mechanic mounted a monster jet, way bigger than the other, bottom line, speed did nt change much, but mileage got greatly reduced, hence you could easily be wasting fuel without noticeably decreasing performances or flooding

[@l3wi5spad3]

Dosent even sound like its breaking a sweat

[@Alfsp1]

luis vermillion or hits band ?

[@TheBlu3sman]

well, keep in mind it's not a 125, each round of those 7k per minute he's pumping are 4 times the usual dirt bike or even more considering how race prepped this bike might be, so it's clear he must hold back a little bit sometimes plus the owner knows the track and is well capable of racing that beast, so that makes all the difference

[@ginettaclark2387]

how many rpm it goed at max the cr 500?

[@ranifoley9674]

about 7000

[@itsMorzH]

[@AdventureBronson]

+Chicken Strip Dave - sorry, I do not. I live in Delaware.

[@donniebaker5984]

he literally smoked everybody hehehe ! actually this is a 1st person point of view from the rider's helmet cam so you dont get to see anything behind to tell just how rich the mixture is ..but the way she sounds ,he's got it right ..probably using something like yamalube "R" synthetic two stroke oil if a pint bottle to 5 gal. can of gas = 50 : 1 mix that will run forever and not leave one spot of carbon inside the engine at all ...and the only time it will smoke is on start up with the choke on ! ...after warm up it wont smoke at all and the spark plug will look like it was pulled from a 4 stroke

[@AdventureBronson]

Ha ha. Thanks Donnie. Actually, I was running Maxima Castor 927 at 32:1. More than once when I went back to the pits I had people come by to say "we're pitted over by the front straight and every lap we'd hear you go by and then smell your bike... and it smelled so good... we had to come find you and see what it was"
