CR500 VS Black Bear

First ride of the year on the trails of Michigan when I come across a black bear in the trail.

[@brokenchickenleg]

this should simply be titled "I saw a black bear for 1/4 of a second".

[@ZC.Andrew]

Haha!

[@loupremo]

that would be enough for me to shat my trousers.

[@miguelfeliciano7183]

brokenchickenleg HE PUT THIS TITLE UP LIKE IF HIS DIRTBIKE TRANSFORMED INTO A AUTOBOT N WENT HEAD ON WITH THE BEAR LMFAO HE SHOULD OF JUST PUT THAT TITLE YOU PUT UP SOO YEEES I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU A 💯 %

[@REEL.FASTLT]

Who else thought he was gonna get chased by a bear? :D

[@wonderful_]

black bears are scared of people. Especially noisy ones.

[@thiagoandes2951]

I thought i was gonna crash watching your video, but that shows how experienced you are riding a motorcycle.

[@MrMassivboy]

I hope you read this comment because I want to say that is some very skilful riding on such tight trails with all that power, mad props

[@LesA.R.6568]

Thumbs down always for deceptive titles. That stuff animal teddy bear wasn't even thinking about him. He turned in opposite direction.

[@enigmatheextreme]

LOL

[@sirbeautimus5346]

+Slurm its highly addictive Lol! XD :-)

[@crazyringo92]

I love that second where you let off the throttle, pretty sure everyone could tell exactly what went through your mind. "What's that thing?" *lets off throtlle* "Oh, look its a...it's a... IT'S A BEAR!!" *TWIST*

[@ZC.Andrew]

I was WAY more scared of the trees coming at your face at 30 mph than any bear.... bad video title!! But, GREAT riding! So, undecided as to whether I vote up or down.... damn you...

[@conorchapman5856]

you have a lot of balls to be flying through basically hairscramble trails at 30 mph lol that's crazy I like speed but I don't like going fast around trees.. you put your face into a tree at thirty miles an hour your going to be messed up.. but cool video don't listen to all the other guys being pricks I think it was fun just watching you fly through the trails lol

[@JACKAL747]

That's why you wear a helmet

[@Nickolasmb]

Good riding! You got talent.

[@StephenMichaelMan]

This changed my life. Thank you.

[@AudiophileTubes]

Phenomenal riding skills! I had a CR125 once, and that scared me at times. I can't imagine the all out 'balls to the wall' torque and power of a CR500, but your video helps! Cheers!

[@Abraham1300]

My first thought was "wow I love this camera angle" Helmet cams go everywhere. Great job great video.

[@sgt.davideswigerusmc5113]

just goto 3:57 for the blink of a bear...........SAD......

[@cheeseymccheese4640]

Lame, thanks for the time Sgt

[@xXCaptainVegasXx]

That clickbait though xD Fucking LOL

[@lolman6277]

so let me get this straight everyone thinks this guy should go full out??? its a trail not a moto track and really u cant even go full out on a track except to hit triple and straightaways really its just throttle control which this guy seems to have a very good skill set in based on the fact hes riding a 500 in a tight trail

[@albertpelletier9415]

That was brief, but cool. At least it wasn't right in your path. I almost hit a deer while riding a CR125M on a trail many years ago. The darned thing was running through the woods perpendicular to the trail and I was tapped into 4th gear if I remember right. It crossed right in front of me, and I missed it by about 10 or 12 feet. I slowed down after that! Nice riding, and watch out for those trees too! Catching air on a corner, you'll fly straight while the trail curves away from you. Voice of experience here, lol.

[@nos5822]

I almost went up a moose's ass

[@shivermetootoo]

i love how when he sees the black bear he starts going fast for the first time in this video

[@maddawg5016]

Well it probably would of ate him… for the best atleast

[@hdidane00]

now i Wanna see cr500 vs Alien

[@asteiner9181]

Fuck ya ...2 strokes for life !!

[@averagename9945]

What does a 4 stroke have to with this again?

[@deniaL202]

Lol I like 4 strokes, horse power is more important, and 2 strokes are noisy non efficient little dicks, the only thing that good about them is speed.

[@asteiner9181]

That's all I care about bro...speed and sound.If you want efficient go get yourself a Zero bike or a Toyota Prius.

[@MrRoyalblunts]

A few years ago I would agree with you.... The 4 stroke has come a long way.

[@pulse3732]

A Stiener lol

[@avery349]

i bet when that bear heard that 2 stroke humming he was like damn thats a lot of bees

[@buddahmaster]

Still the most powerful two stroke in 25 years. God I wish this thing was still produced

this was a great video even without the bear sighting, those trails look sick a hell

Nice bike! I have the same year Honda, only a 1995 CR250R. Parked my 4-strokes, gonna race the 2-stroke from now on. Husky TC250 coming my way in two weeks!

That was pretty awesome man, where exactly in Michigan is this? I'm guessing the UP?

[@offroadvehiclelover]

Sick trails riding man! I have yet to hit the trails, I have some decent trails downhill from my house. Only problem is ppl decided to block entrance with small to medium brances. Ppl like that disgust me, my friend though is getting his fix soon and when he does I'll go with him... since he's been down there after the blocked passage, and heck I hate trail riding alone. :p

[@chrisc672]

Bear at 3:56 Dont waste your time

[@ShootME552]

I did, but thank you for the time

[@SkydiveHake]

smooth, fast trail. i like it. not too narrow either, looks like good drainage. whats the grip level typically. is this public land? what more can you ask for in a trail, you can ride all day without getting tired

[@KILL2EX1]

As I sit here watching this video I can't help but think.... Man those trails look like the ones from home. Sure enough, I read the description and its michigan. Best trails ever. What part of michigan? Looks like rose city area

[@ScooterSurfing]

Misleading title, don't waste your time.

[@nonprofit9426]

3 56

[@stevenmarsden5853]

That cr500 would probably kill me before the bear got a chance. Them things ain't no joke.

[@HardAngle]

That bear was like "well I guess I'll just cross this trail to get to m... HOLY SHIT A DIRT BIKE!"

[@johnstamper2965]

The suspension on that bike is something else.

[@lordfucktard]

do bears shit in the woods? that one sure did lol

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

when I joined KZbin this is the first dirt bike video I watched

[@tuesdaytv]

what year is that bike? 92-96? Looks she's in great shape and sounds great! I love how you're ripping but barely on it the whole time lol

[@tonygharman]

Damn, someone knows what the hell he is doing. Im a rider myself and this video had me on pins and needles. Great video dude, and I have to say I didn't see the bear the first time I watched

[@MASKOAA]

This video makes driving a dirt bike look like the hardest fucking thing in the world.

[@trevors5216]

Quick glimpse of bear, but Dam can you ride !! You was hauling !

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Awesome riding!

[@charlesroddy4728]

That was pretty crazy! I just was super close to a cub while shredding on a trail and rode with it for about 15 feet until the trail turned. I didn't wanna see the mom bear, but it may have been on its own, as it was such a large cub

[@jcee2259]

Today this was me on Red Mountain speeding off the summit on an old forest byway. A big brown sow came at me down through the trees. And then after a short road chase was running downhill. Toward where the next turn of road would take me. As unwilling to accept an ambush by a smart mama bear I braked and reversed direction. Taking a longer ride off the summit. A crappy horse trail down to the state highway.

[@TheTurbofx]

More appropriate title: "CR500 sees a glimpse of black bear running"

[@skorchedearth1]

Mannnn! That tree was close @2:58 Way to hammer that trail dude, looks like the beast wants ta run.

[@thesimplelife3973]

I love Michigan trails especially right after it rains.

[@tommywright8369]

Very cool riding video. But really? Bike vs bear? I got a glimps of a bear that you scared the shit out of as you rode by. Hahaha!

[@justoneperson]

Ok, CR500? That is BOSS!!! That bike could catch a cheetah in full sprint. Sweet vid. Did you take it out of first gear?

[@makemespin]

Holy shit, this guy takes "Ride hard or go home!" serious!

[@roynelson7613]

I seen the black bear it was on your left I'm glad you didn't stall out lol that was some great trail riding buddy

[@Scottx125Productions]

+Roy Nelson Bear probably knew he was coming from the sound of his bike, bears usually attack out of surprise, as long as you make enough noise to let them know you are coming, black bears usually avoid you.

[@roynelson7613]

I hear that was pretty awesome man I seen a video where a guy was trail riding on a bicycle and it was pretty crazy glad he made it through bears are crazy lol

[@Leafsrule016]

the bear was just thinking 'i wonder if there's any nice 500's for sale around here'

[@kevinhill3693]

Props on your riding skills. bought an XR500R from a friend that turned and bought a CR500R, all I can say is OMG!!! the XR is e ought for anyone, the CR500R is about as close as you can get to strapping onto a pissed of Bull, hands go numb after 5 mins!!

[@JROC734]

Nice riding OP!

[@noah44444]

Sweet video, gotta love those old two smokes. Looks like you are hauling some ass

LOL! I have come around corners on my mountain bike and come within 10 feet of black bears looking right at me----not for long!! I cannot believe how fast those big bears can run and jump when taken by surprise. Fortunately I was always going downhill and spooked the beejezusm out of them---as well as me. No time to think---just keep going--the bears are of the same mind, too!
