THE BEST VINTAGE MX 2 STROKES IN THE U.S.A. TAKE OVER DAYTONA SUPERCROSS TRACK @ BIKE WEEK 2021

[@2shoestoo]

Brings back such good memories my 1972 Yamaha 250 mx running blendzol racing castor, the smell you never forget

[@volksquadman]

I cant get to bed there are too many rare ace dirt bikes not seen for years, decades even. What a great event, thank you for taking the time to ask folks about their bikes KK👍

[@2-strokeracer531]

That play-by-play you do before the gate when you get up close to all the different bikes kicks ass.. So nice to see these bikes ripping.., and not sitting around as trailer queens or rusting away in a dingy shed somewhere... 👍🇺🇸👍

[@philthome1303]

The sight, sound, and smell of vintage two-strokes; Exhilarating! 👍🏍😁

[@christiorca4432]

Omg! This is awesome...I would have been in heaven!❤

[@hardwired4873]

The legend Henry and legend Kaplan in the Daytona sun. What a golden day. Wish i could have been there

[@mr.m325]

surprised you weren't down there checking everyone's frame rails...lol

[@KaplanCycles]

Only when I'm buying

[@121080hulk]

Send it Kaplan have these guys riding big wheels to ride with captain. Love this guy

[@Nunya_Beezwax]

Lol

[@TheErik249]

There are A LOT of custom paint jobs on a lot of those bikes. At first I felt like they were desecrating something hallowed and special but... They're actually kind of cool. Thank you for showing us all of this basically live coverage of Daytona that we probably wouldn't get from anybody else Ken. Keep'em coming dude!

[@dirtfireservices]

Those bikes are awesome, so glad to have raced motorcross during the 80's.

[@TR-cs4tf]

Thanks for sharing. Love the old 2-strokes. Didn’t realize this event existed. Had to be a great time just watching and listening in person.

[@johnchopp3278]

Now this is a Throw back. Good seeing bikes my age still rippin. ✌

[@johnpena9165]

Kaplan America sure knows his motorcycles, I had no clue on anything before 1983 but I do know those were some sweet bikes every one of them 💪👍🔥 !

[@williamrizzo1285]

That's music too the ears, nothing beats the sound of a 2 stroke!

[@hectorpuertoricanrivera3470]

I love that 2 stroke sound I can't get enough God bless America 🇺🇸

[@hvalour1]

that number 15 cr250, thats what im talking about, what a beauty, i love those blue sleeves on the front shocks, thanks a million ken and god bless!

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

These are the bikes that made motercross a thing & now its a passion

[@box1u]

Amazing vid, brings back the glory days of the early 80's up here in Ontario Canada. Thanks for bringing us, the viewer along for the Daytona experience.

[@Seansworld17]

The only other place on the planet I'd rather be is at home watching this video right now! Friggin awesome. Thanks Ken! Wish I saw this shit live.

[@jeffdavison8421]

Thank you for sharing that experience Ken. The sheer number and variety of bikes is amazing. Keeping the two stroke tradition alive.

[@DudemanSwede]

Incredibly cool!! Thank you a zillion times, KAPLAN AMERICA! Greetings from Norway!

[@wendellrountree4899]

[@RCFlyBy911]

Man thanks for the trip back in time brother 👌🏼 this is where it’s at man these vintage bikes are just something special ( S/S ) talking about flashback ‼️

[@DavidH-D]

Awesome! My first dirt bike was a 1976 Ossa 250 Desert Phantom in 1980. Then a KDX 175 in 1982. Memories!

[@caa3117]

I'm boomed up! Cant get enough of the old bikes.😊

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

[@jcobra09]

“YZ 100, that things beautiful. What year is that?” 🦗🦗🦗 The guy with the ‘74 Honda that said he watches your videos REALLY wanted to tell you about his bikes! 😂 Lovin the content, man! Keep ‘em comin.

[@three7950]

[@L2fish]

[@littlesilver2205]

[@tom1263]

I need Close-up of all 70's machines!!!! Man how very cool!

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

100k subs! Congratulations. You deserve all the positive karma this universe can offer.

[@KowboyUSA]

Really cool ya got the camera down to the track for this vintage stuff.

[@snakepliskin1185]

That sound - that's our old bikes! I had a '74 TM125 with the lay-down shock mod, then the RM125 made it obsolete in '75. CR125 Elsinores handled great and Honda ruled with Marty Smith.

[@royculleton6223]

This is what heaven looks like... Everyone twisting grips and whiffing 2 strokes exhaust!!!

[@alkennedy1124]

Oh yes I see a couple of 250 Honda esanors, oh yes , nice love it , one of my buddy’s, had a big ol Yamaha 500, that bike was a beastly sounding bike, love these vlogs, thanks BigAl California.

[@chrisiollich4890]

Those are some nice bikes, I'm usually a Honda guy but some of those old Yamaha MX models,are impressive ,one of the MX 125'S sounded really hot , Other than that ELSINORE'S RULE!!!!!!! THANK'S from NOR-CAL!!!!!

[@danielarney9729]

Hitting jumps with 50 year old bikes. DH should run for president.

[@evan1kx125]

So many awesome bikes! Thanks for this great vid ken! Eye caddy for dayz! Old bikes rule

[@bruin4937]

Thanks for snagging this footage, Ken! Man, I can almost smell the Castrol oil burning in these 2-strokes! I was hoping to see a Penton, Sachs, CanAm, Hodaka, Bultaco, Montessa, Ossa, or AJS in this vid. I'm going to check out your part 2 to see if I can find one! Thanks, Ken!

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

This makes everything better.

[@jessenorris8981]

I love them old cracklin 2 strokes thats a good sound there

[@timothythomas1737]

[@H24-o9v]

[@brandonheist5563]

[@pbmachines972]

[@jonnyonwheels]

[@calvinly1043]

[@davidfarmer6144]

Great vid as always sr. 2 smoker's rule. First Doug Henry and the guy at 9 11 of the vid looks to be missing his lower leg. Just goes to show can't take the love of moto out of a guy keep up the great work guy's. Shout out to Jr on the vid for Todd he was a hell of a racer hopefully 🙏 he is doing well.

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

[@rictech1325]

All your videos??? And everything is bad ass . On my bucket list is to see your shop someday

[@rictech1325]

And for a old guy !!!!! Mr America? Your a Bad ass rider

[@L2fish]

That 79 RM 125 was probably the quickest bike I ever rode.

[@gregmojher4912]

They did have gold wheels in 86, my dad had one, you really do know your shit bro!

[@jeansebastienmccaie]

Congrats on the 100k sub!

[@daves984]

Even when you weren't correct guessing the year, you were only 1 year off. You definitely know vintige motocross

[@KaplanCycles]

Those one years had bng bold new graphics

[@hankschrader149]

74' TM 75 was my first bike Ken!

[@mikestowe6136]

those are some of the best looking bikes n pipes better looking then the new bikes ken wasnt checking frame rails he was sniffing exhaust lmfao

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

That’s not nearly as intense as the pros but waaaay more fun to watch 👍

[@Nunya_Beezwax]

Sweet, sweet two smoke!! 👍🏼😎

[@DogDaze66]

Dreamland!

[@germanbeer2466]

Awesome bikes

[@21psd]

Man, I miss hearing the sound of 2 strokes

[@121080hulk]

Nothing like 2 stroke's 😉 in the morning

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Seriously love those old YZ's, with Yamaha Classic Graphics on their gas tanks..that 82 RM 125 towards the end, and that White and Black Yamaha in the end . It looked like one of those Noguchi High Performance Factory Racing YZ's??

[@enduroclan2784]

Good video c'est des super moto 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mrsendy4821]

Yall should do a “how to holeshot” video im afraid of flippin my vintage cr 2 stroke😂

[@mrsendy4821]

@Josh B ive got a new back fender 😭

[@stevenowen4150]

Mr Sendy. Buy another back fender just in case. If ya dont flip it at the gate, theres always a set of triples to loop on. 😂

[@shoominati23]

No thumpers there this year? It would be good to see a Hl500 or even an XL .. maybe next year

[@KaplanCycles]

There were a few one sweet xr200

[@jasonweir6410]

Doug Henry! Hell ya!!!

[@markmckenney4534]

Old School Drool Fest

[@Joggly420]

This is epic !

[@marketplacemayhem7740]

I can smell this video : )

[@erniemckracken1593]

Who's cutting onion in here ? I have gotten over many girls, but never a sold bike.

[@hankschrader149]

Lmao IKR?! Wish I still had all the bikes I once owned! The women are gone for a reason lol

[@timothythomas1737]

I'd trade a woman for 1 of my old bikes back lol.

[@stevenowen4150]

I had an82 CR 480, a 79 CR 250, a RM125, and an 83 YZ 490. Seeing that pristine 82 480 made my heart race, the only bike I’ve ever really loved with a passion. We were one. Still have the 490 and also have a 83 CR 480 that I’ve owned since 86. Just somethin bout the old CR Hondas I love. By far the best looking bikes ever made. Those big bore air cooled 82,83,84 models just made arm dislocating power low n mid range, the 84 more top end. They all handled and they all cornered like they were on rails. Oh shit, i just rubbed my eyes and they had onion juice on them. Gotta go 😥😥😥

[@erniemckracken1593]

@@stevenowen4150 After riding couple of my buddies 490/ 500 , I knew quick I'd better stick with 125/250 , seeing how I could hardly even control the smaller bikes that well. My better judgement went out the window and I bought a 4 stroke. A big fat CR 450. Things didn't go so well, I kept waiting on the power band to kick in lol.

[@rictech1325]

Perfect saying

[@ryanczap4808]

Ken Kaplan has a backstage pass? How do you get a backstage pass?

[@KaplanCycles]

KAPLAN AMERICA GOT IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, HE EARNED IT, 31 YEARS AT DAYTONA!
