[@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

[@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... 👍🇺🇸👍

[@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👍

[@philthome1303]

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

[@hardwired4873]

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

[@2shoestoo]

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

[@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.

[@dirtfireservices]

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

[@johnchopp3278]

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

[@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!

[@williamrizzo1285]

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

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

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

[@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.

[@DavidH-D]

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

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

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

[@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!

[@jeffdavison8421]

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

[@hectorpuertoricanrivera3470]

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

[@caa3117]

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

[@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 💪👍🔥 !

[@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.

[@DudemanSwede]

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

[@three7950]

LOVE to hear those 2 strokes back in town

[@L2fish]

Love seeing all them. Like I am 15 yrs old again

[@hankschrader149]

So cool to see all those bad to the bone bikes! And how awesome is it that Doug Henry is out there?!?! Very cool he is able to race again, that's quite the setup He's got

[@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 ‼️

[@wendellrountree4899]

Thank you for this footage Kap it sure brings back memories to those sweet 2 stroke vintages.

[@tom1263]

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

[@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.

[@jessenorris8981]

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

[@joejoe-qn4hu]

That is kickass history. I've started at around 8 honda trail 70 , had a few Indian 100's 79 yz 125 250, 79 suzuki pe 175, kx 125 86 cr 500 sold 5 years ago. Still have 72 suzuki tm 400 widow maker bike is near mint all factory parts original. It's a experience and great memories of my childhood.

[@robertrishel3685]

Living, moving, history!!! Beautiful!

[@alkennedy1124]

[@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.

[@KowboyUSA]

[@hankschrader149]

74' TM 75 was my first bike Ken!

[@577buttfan]

Yo thanks for getting us a first hand look at the gods of 2 strokes man..friggin epic!!!!!

[@royculleton6223]

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

[@danielarney9729]

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

[@littlesilver2205]

Thanks Kap for the video, love these bikes, great footage dont get better then this.Congrats to Jr pulling out a 3rd that track looked brutal i can imagine the arm pump.I got to see the 1987 kx125 i use to race at raceway-park mx track in NJ there, made my day .

[@L2fish]

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

[@21psd]

Man, I miss hearing the sound of 2 strokes

[@calvinly1043]

Man im missing out, looking forward to the future years

[@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.

[@pbmachines972]

Great to see those bikes get a little exercise

[@evan1kx125]

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

[@christiorca4432]

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

[@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!

[@timothythomas1737]

You know your bikes. Here in Indiana we call those dinosaur chasers lol. But I love them.

[@anthonyp6544]

Great filming thank you

[@jacobwoods2418]

Wow, beautiful stuff, good job Kaplan 👍

I think my Husqvarna was a 1974, 175 , the last year they made a 175 , I believe, kool love it I’m not totally sure, but I think so , thanks brother , BigAl California.

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

This makes everything better.

[@gregmojher4912]

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

[@stevenpatriquin3188]

great stuff!! i got my own vintage collection and I race em all,go Doug henrey!!!

[@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!!!!!

[@brandonheist5563]

Crazy how you know the year of every bike just looking at it. Too cool brother

[@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

[@jesselemos4246]

Absolutely amazing

[@localenterprisebroadcastin5971]

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

[@jonty4664]

Lucky lucky dudes 👊🏻🔧keep rippin 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@PHILIPWATSON82]

Completely Stoked 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jonnyonwheels]

I miss the powerband of a crisp 2stroke....last one I owned was a 1986 Husqvarna 250CR that I sold in ‘04 (been in a wheelchair since 2003).

[@dewilm78____47]

9:34 @6time Jeff Stanton 👍

[@mikestowe6136]

[@DogDaze66]

[@albertboersma7294]

[@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.

[@rictech1325]

[@rictech1325]
