Incredible Restoration 34 year old 2 Stroke Dirt Bike -Time Lapse

[@jebediahnightlinger6357]

Most guys his age are at the lake with their nice boats, trolling around hoping a 20 yr old will show a little nip. This guys in his laboratory building monsters...Much Respect, Sir.

[@2strokeme64]

When im that age, i hope to be able to buy 20 year old nip... and a cr500... fingers crossed 🤞

[@raymondsanderson3768]

Sexist gits!

[@tommontague5721]

I had a CR 500. That bike demands respect....

[@robcourtney6154]

One of the best looking dirt bikes ever made, even to this day.

[@TNTMOTO]

Building two 89 250's now.

[@lylesommers1249]

i’m inclined to agree with you

[@dylangarsed7254]

I agree

[@Workerbee-zy5nx]

Monster bike for sure.

[@brianbond7754]

My first 500 off the show room floor. So fast it took a year before I was able to control that bike without fear . Now I wish I had one great job on that bike

[@niniksulikah8861]

I started to watch this on my phone ,, but quickly turned it off and switched to my tablet, your attention to detail and passion in your work deserved a watch on a big screen, really took me back to my racing days great job mate.

[@TNTMOTO]

Thank-you

[@Meech_50]

We can't ignore this man starting this in his everyday shoes🔥 This man is him🥶 Love your work, keep it up King🙏🏽

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou

[@christianrabe7984]

Excellent work! Beautyful bike, I could have it in the living room instead of the garage

[@DavidWall-jw9sd]

Amazing work - It's videos like these that inspire. My son watches this and wants to rebuild motorcycles. Quality time with him in the garage = priceless.

[@737diesel]

I am such a fan of your work. Attention to detail and your knowledge of the machines is so impressive. Being a big fan of the 80's Hondas, this bike makes me drool. Once again, great work!

[@TNTMOTO]

Thank you

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou for watching

[@jasonpark5692]

Dirt bikes have never got better looking than this! Beautiful machine!

[@SevieBallesterous]

CR500's only kick first time when they are perfect

[@Tinfoilhat311]

Still have my 85. Wanted the 84, but my dad always said never buy 1st year and glad I didn't. Wicked fast went from the 250r to this, and it scared the crap out of me. Took a few months to get used to. These days, I ride a crf450l and watch my grandsons race, the r versions. But I definitely prefer my Goldwing these days. Amazing work!!!!

[@jm7488]

This has to be one of the best rebuilds in stock condition I’ve seen. Very impressive, I’d love to find a 94 KX 125 like I had back in the day and rebuild it

[@DennisonsThe]

I love your WORK!! Don't feel like you have to shorten your videos! I like the detail of watching you rebuild your bikes. I will sit and watch hours of your work! I would rather see more of your work posted a little each time. You do such a great job! Nevertheless, thanks for posting! Blessings!

[@TNTMOTO]

Thanks for watching. I will post more footage in separate videos over the next months

[@DennisonsThe]

@@TNTMOTO AWESOME!! Look forward to watching them!

[@PapiAldoDiaz]

im rebuilding a 90 cr250 and the way you beautified every single last part just blew me and my buddys brains right now. that thing is gorgeous and you are a master!

This takes me back to younger days. Amazing build. I can smell that bike just by seeing it.

[@m1les7]

Absolutely amazing, what a beauty ❤️💪💪🏁🏁

[@djpete8725]

I had one of these I raced it every weekend for 2 years. I had it all done up full national team prep, even a lightened and re balanced crank It was my love and my 94 Cr 500 too. Those were the best bikes I ever owned.

[@baraondal]

これは素晴らしいですね！ あなたのセンスが良い事が端々に現れていますよ！

[@rbailey225]

That's a real man.......kicking a CR500 with a New Balance! I learned to ride on a 1983 CR480 at age 14. My first brand new bike was a 1988 YZ250. Well done resto sir. Thanks for bringing back memories.

[@gerardfields1568]

I love your work on the cr 500 honda well done and I like watching you on all your bikes that you work on .iam gerard fields from Ireland 🇮🇪 well done .

[@TroyRosenbaugh]

89 is my favorite year for those monsters. We get a lot of resto work in my OHV shop, the 80s CRs, KXs, and RMs are my favorites. Great vid!

[@zachfarkash6430]

Man I got to say you did an awesome job restoring that 89 CR500 what an absolute Widow Maker of a bike. I owned an 85 CR500 and I wish I would have never gotten rid of it I now own an 89 CR250 which I absolutely love looking forward to your next videos

[@TNTMOTO]

Thanks for watching

[@simonfreeman148]

Great restoration, bike looks like it just left the showroom. Done this to many bikes over the years and the satisfaction from it is unequalled, off roaders and road bikes.

[@bobjohnson2920]

I could see these selling for $50K when us Gen Xer's start getting into retirement. What a masterpiece, hats off to your attention to detail and hard work.

[@TNTMOTO]

Thank you

[@MidWestMX]

Dude.......wow! I watched the whole thing. Incredible and superb job. Well done buddy

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou. Did you see your crossbar pad in the background ? :)

[@MidWestMX]

@@TNTMOTO I did. Love what you’ve done there. Glad you still have it man. Memories of back in the day. Looking forward to the new builds. You need to upload more for sure

[@thescottishhammer7570]

Makes me miss mine. I was a skinny little 16 year old kid back in 1990 when I had mine and that bike scared me to death every time I straddled it.

[@timothymaurer6643]

KX 500 owner. Takes balls to start with tennis shoes on and funny to see how much these big bore two strokes vibrate. Beautiful bike.

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou for watching.

[@Stonefly2112]

Have always loved the straight two tone CRs they were ahead of their time.

[@Sunspot-19]

Exquisite restoration! Lovely results, as it looks better than new. Nicely done, Sir!!!

[@bradrook3919]

Thank you for doing this build and recording it. Great job! I used to own an 87 CR-500. Love the sounds and smells of the two strokes.

[@AFK365]

Great build what a beast I remember these bikes when I was in my teens what a machine thanks for your video great work and attention to detail.

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Try cleaning up the plastic, then heat it up, it will shine like new... frkn awesome job bud, I love doing ground up testis on old dirt bikes, it's therapeutic.

[@VW5767]

That was a beast back in the day! I remember them well.. Great work!

[@joski9030]

That’s a work of art! Only ever had CR 250’s I hope to ride a big 5 one day ✊🏻

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

I just had to see the shots where you’re wearing a back brace to know how much work and how many countless hours you spent on your feet for this restoration. The finished product is amazing and flawless in every metric . The passion and meticulous attention you gave to this project paid off and inspires those of us out here who love to get into projects such as these . Keep up the great work ! Thank you and don’t shorten the videos they’re better when they run full length!

Much admiration from me too, not too much to add that has'nt been already said.

[@franciscolopez3229]

Now, that is what I call a restoration. It still looks as original as it can be. One detail is by not changing the rims to black. Nice work sir.

[@TNTMOTO]

Thankyou

[@the_fragrant_vagrant]

Brilliant work, and love the simple and straightforward video format. Would also be keen to see a shop walkthrough sometime if you haven’t done one yet. Keep up the excellent mechanic and video work!

[@davedobkins7302]

Great Build! I had one of these 89s back in the day. Very fun bike and the best of the 3 CR500s i had. Forgot how much they vibrate seeing it running.

I don’t say this often, but when I do, I mean it, you, sir are a true craftsman and the effort you put into this 500r build, tells me that you must’ve had one long ago My hats off to you.

[@jimyeske8498]

That is so cool! My buddy bought his 85 CR500 brand new and I was always jealous of how he would talk about the unboxing and setup he and his dad did. I’m sure it looked just like yours after he was done. My 86 was used when I bought it. We had great times on those machines!

Stunning build , I used to ride these bikes quite a lot, whoever buys this one is very very lucky whatever the price , it’s like riding a new bike as far as I can see ,and that pipe is too die for, congratulations amazing job 🇬🇧🍀👍🙏

Great to see you back i was wondering where you'd got to. stunning job on the 500 i love the fact that you do a true restoration and make the bikes as oem as possible, it erks me how people say "restoration" and the finished product looks nothing like original. you're bikes are near enough to museum quality, looking forward to the two up 250s. Thanks for posting!!
