At this point, Ive spent more hours watching Kap ride like a badass on this channel, than I have riding my own damn motorcycles

Never knew the wizard was a baldy, must be all those years of getting jetting dialed in spot on with those 500s, left him with a dust cap, he is a true legend!!

It would be pretty difficult letting this bike go if I owned it. Its a beast!

1991 KX is my favorite year I had a 250 when I was 17 it was one of the awesomest feelings I felt the 500 is even better

All the appreciation of these bikes is an amazing thing. Keep these things alive, people. Brings a tear to my eyes…
I need to go watch On Any Sunday again.

Da Wizard knows what time it is! I had a 91 and it's best power ever on a 500smoker. Itll climb for days and never better bike made for cross country. Greatest power delivery ever period. She's a rippah Wizard

This Green Meanie KX500 just Blasted Through the Time Portal from 1991 and Arived 31 Years into The Present!, This 2Stroke Green Monster looks like it just Rolled off of The Kawasaki Assembly Line in Japan!Great Job by Kaplan America's Resident Wizard!!!

Takes me back to the good ole days. I miss early 90's 2 strokes. The day's of stanton, bradshaw, bale, ward, larocco I'm probably forgetting someone but I'm starting to get old.

Have to love the KX500s. Solid bikes. Still have four.

[bobg]

The bikes so fast it blew Wizads hair right off!

[todd]

Extremely hard to find them like this. Beautiful job Wizard

Jeff Ward & Rickey Johnson (Honda) used to go head to head on 500cc. Amazing races!

Sweet! My old bike! Such a controllable throttle! I won the 1991ama amateur open class motocross series championship in Huetter, Idaho near Coeur d'Alene with that bike. It was a tight sandy loamy Supercross style track, pretty tight. All the other open class guys had a hell of a time. But not me, I weighted the crank with a Barnett steel clutch and put a gear reduction device on my clutch lever and rode the thing like a 125. I missed one wholeshot that season.
Thanks for the memories!

You guys gotta be Killin it in the dirt bike resto field, I don't know of anyone doing it like you guys. You guys pick the best of the best to do builds on. Most of the sexiest bikes I've ever seen were on this channel, and thats for real. My Helmets off to you fellas

[keithalbelli]

Who’s got it better then senior? Gets to go to work every day and ride every dirtbike known to mankind!!!

[dr.hugog.hackenbush]

The few years when they had the blue anodized forks, they were the best suspended open bike available from the factory. Honda cought up with the forks for '96, and the shock in '97.

Its mind blowing to see the passion these young bucks still have for these bikes

[husqvarnamarkii]

Wizard's got a nice KX500 sounds great! I rode my friends 2000 Kawasaki KX 125 it was in nice shape with a fresh top end rebuild. It was freakin' FAST!

[alexanderfraser]

What a cool place to work, it wouldn’t be like a job, more like a fun day out! What a bunch of sound guys from top too bottom!
