The distinct sound of a 1985 CR500! Not just the short rod, but the aggressive ignition map and high compression. That baby just barks. Thanks for sharing this, there's not any videos like this of an 85 CR5 in the wild actually ripping and not for just 5 seconds. Awesome bike bro!

Had an 87. Rode in New England enduros. Registered and street legal in NH. Lights , horn , mirror and a quieter silencer. Stopped by police many times, had all paperwork and inspection sticker in order. So much fun. Put thousands of miles on it. 35 years later still miss it.

The 85 model year was the HP king of all the Honda cr 2 strokes to date. They had to de tune the bike in subsequent years because it was too brutal. I noticed you almost looped it in one of those wheelies, no doubt due to the power band and the insane increase in HP in a small rpm range. I remember reading about the bike back in 85 in dirt rider mag and dirt bike.

i want a CR500 bike BUT with a CR80 engine in it...i think it would be great for riding around in tighter areas like trails and private property where space is more limited, but full size adults can ride on it comforatably...IMO anything past 80cc just has too much power for general "fun" riding, but they are too small for me

The stroke is same length all years. The rod is 7mm shorter 84-86 yrs. So is the cylinder deck height. What you have is more crankcase pressure and less mass rotating so they spool up and hit much more aggressively and have more torque. Not that you can't stroke a cr 500 but they aren't "strokers" stock any year. 🤙🏼😎

Mere mortals must handle these two stroke purebreds with extreme care, in saying this the 86 CR500 was easier to manage than my 85 YZ490 which was an all or nothing type of bike, it nearly killed me three times and than I sold that MF.
