Everyone who needs to learn how to ride!

[@photomorti]

I watch it like weekly haha

[@phangmeng.]

2025 here

[@ridingrabbit2966]

I love it when people "need" a 600 or litre bike because their smaller bikes are just to slow... those guys need to watch some more of Schaafs videos :)

[@iancarman]

It really does show how it comes down to the skill of the rider and not necessarily the price tag or capacity of the bike hey. His riding has really educated me to that fact

[@Schaaf]

+RidingRabbit thanks a lot man! But I always need to remind you people that riding like this is very easy on the old CB500. I'm not able to do these fast left-right-left-right maneuvers on any other bike

[@ridingrabbit2966]

Schaaf the CB500 does really look like an awesome mid size bike! I wish we had them here in Australia :)

[@memorablename5187]

you have cb400s in oz, i would love one of those

[@march11stoneytony]

"Better to ride a slow bike fast then a fast bike slow"

Bikes like these are absolute beasts. I own a cb400 super four and she loves the twisties. Awesome riding

[@Schaaf]

Yes they are!

Holy sh!tballs mate, I nearly forgot to breathe during that! Bloody epic run there mate, all skill (and balls) there

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This video alone made the CB500 prices go up

[@Schaaf]

Hahaha thanks

[@thesmoker4027]

Sometimes i like to go back here. This bike always amazes me. Especially that never ending revving! Looks like it’s going to hit the rev limiter but every time it gets higher and higher!

[@Schaaf]

Glad to read that!

[@katsugi183]

speed run + sunny outdoors+ peg scrapping= awesome schaaf^.^

Those Pegs took a big beaten that day for sure, what a ride lovely road huge thumbs up

[@Schaaf]

+Samurai H (SamuraiHg) thank you so much Sam!!

[@vyrnmn]

My CB500 wobbles a bit too. I thought something might be wrong with it but I guess that's just how they are! I've had mine for 2.5 years and touched a peg down for the first time last week. Only a little kiss but it felt good. Interesting to see that there's still a bit of tyre left by the time you're down that far, so that inspires a bit of confidence.

[@Schaaf]

the CB you saw already has modified suspension even ;)

[@GeorgeTsiros]

​@@SchaafQuestion! What suspension do you suggest? brand/model. My dad's 23-year-old cb500 really _really_ needs new suspension. He is well above 100k mi ... ON THE ORIGINAL SUSPENSION

[@graememorrison333]

@@GeorgeTsiros Hagon are considered best (and is what the people who race thee bikes generally use) as you can specify the spring rate, but i have mid-level YSS on mine (as i prefer their looks). These have absolutely transformed the handling after the previous owner's Hagons had worn out. My CB has 110,000 miles on it (with a 70,000 mile engine) and although little things on it either fall off or need replacing occasionally, it still goes, accelerates, turns, bounces, and stops as it was designed to. (Yes - your dad's original Showa shocks definitely need to be replaced!)

[@GeorgeTsiros]

@@graememorrison333 Got him a pair of YSS. Thank you for taking the time to respond! Immortal CB.

[@vyrnmn]

​@@graememorrison333 I put the YSS RG362 rear shocks on mine earlier this year. Stupid expensive (cost more than I paid for the whole bike back in 2020, but I'm in so deep now with having everything powder coated etc etc etc that I just figured "why not?") but REALLY good. Undoubtedly firmly in the realms of diminishing returns, but having all the compression and rebound adjustability has let me get it dialled in exactly how I like it, and it's absolutely brilliant.

[@ricardoslhenriques]

That was... a true FAF ride. Congrats, Schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

+Ricardo Henriques thank you Ricardo :)

[@pop4bernie]

Love the sound of pegs hitting the ground in the morning! Nice riding!

[@Schaaf]

thanks mate!!

[@VADroidTS555]

Love the sound of CB 500 specially when it dips during gear up shift followed by full throttle! 😍😍😍

[@Schaaf]

me too ;)

[@patricklowry5683]

Yes! Great riding. I'd a CB500 for a few years. I didn't ride it anywhere near as well you but i still distinctly remember the sound of scrapping pegs and that cracking little twin at full bore. Thank you for bringing back the memories! I lent it to a friend and never got it back, but im now thinking i need to find another while there are still some about.

[@Schaaf]

sounds like a good idea ;)

[@dbauernf]

Amazing pace.. but you're nutz!

[@ImLeuff]

Something I always wanted to ask: how often do you change your footpegs?

[@Schaaf]

+Leuff so far I changed them once. I only started to scrape 2 years ago. In the future I'll probably need 1 set for 1 season

[@ImLeuff]

Schaaf Well, you're obviously good at it so keep up the awesome job. Always a pleasure to see these videos

[@2Niels]

Never mind about how often do you change your footpegs - how often do you change your under pants!!!??

[@rensgreuter8152]

As much as he change the oil🤣

[@floriskuipers4925]

I use my CB500 for motogymkhana so regularly replace the scraper bolts with fresh M8 ones XD

[@adjudantloic]

I want to learn at 2:30 you front brake in the turn, is it dangerous? I will be afraid that my front wheel block, even by supporting a little bit

[@Schaaf]

it is not

[@janisciemgals7644]

Hello! Very like your videos, while a bit restoring cb500s plastic ( get a motorcycle in gift from my bro). Want to ask you: i read some books about riding on motorcycle some years ago, when i get high enthusiasm, and learn for licence on motorcycles - like Nik Ienatch, twists on the wrist, and so on - and there be texts, of that, when you close gas - motorcycle go lower, when you open it - it become higher, even on rear. when you are in a turn, on angle and scraping tarmac with your footpegs - open a throttle really make mc higher, and it stop scraping tarmac at that angle?

[@Schaaf]

yes it will but I also use my body and hands on the bars in combination.

[@janisciemgals7644]

no, you misunderstand me. i want to say - it not change angle, but clearance. no a full gas overall motorcycle clearance be higher, than on closed gas. that's it? can you confirm that? also want to ask - what do you do, when hear, and feel the footpeg scratch tarmac? i found, in that situations o feel disappointed, and try a bit lift my foot from affected footpeg....that also make me discomfortable and try to make angle a bit less, when i strike tarmac with footpeg. you, looks like, do not bother it at all? but, if you scratch, and do angle more, then there is possible situation, when nonmovable detail introduce in contact with tarmac ( say, muffler), and that, make a lever, who take off weight from tyre - and introduce possibility of fall...?

[@PiotrekXJ600]

Can you make video with old XJ600N? I had this bike and I am very interesting how it is ride when you will be rider ;)

[@Schaaf]

+Bryce Piper well what do you think?

[@gothadrive]

Great Checkpoint at 2:52 Did you speed up the video, a little bit..?

[@Schaaf]

+tripleztype yes I multiplied by 0.7

[@gothadrive]

+Schaaf But why..? I understood you as a real player! If you need more horsepower, tune the bike or get a new one! You must got a dislike for this : ) I'm not gonna respected it again : )

[@Schaaf]

+tripleztype if you multiply 1 (real time, real playback speed) with 0.7 you'll end up with slower playback, not faster. I'm not respecting people who can't do elementary school mathematics. ByeBye, glad you're gone.

[@gothadrive]

+Schaaf This afternoon I thought that you are a cool guy, but you are like the most people on KZbin who reach a few subscribers, full of yourself!
