Shout out Ron for talking SR into taking it on the road and across the street.. That thing is worthy of it..

Those kids on bicycles were watching and dreaming of day they could trade their bikes motorcycles

sooo good

Always loved the big bore thumpers, when it came to 4 stroke enduros. You can run errands around town, ride it to the track, race it, and ride it home. That is one sick and impressively equipped bike. Love it's exhaust note. No doubt in my mind that she hauls ass!

Ken just broke the Doug Domokos wheelie record !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These bikes are sooo easy to ride very fast or very slow. They are single track eating works of art.

Great feeling frame on these bikes. I have a 2023 te300 2 stroke, and i'm pretty sure they are almost identical frames and geometry. Great fun to ride, and they feel very nimble. Stay safe everyone

A properly opened up 2021 to 2023 FE501 is arguably the best big bore dirt bike model series ever. They are the lightest and lowest c.o.g. too. One needs a G2 throttle tamer for best control tho.

I agree 100%

Just bought a 2021 701. Such sweet machines.

Love the thumpers! Tkx Ken!

It also has an upgraded headlight. The stock ones are a joke.

Awesome dirt bike thank you Ken for the info thank you Ronnie New England Motorcycle Museum Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America🇺🇲

That's a cracking all rounder 💯

That is a monster anyone says 4T are slow dirtbikes watch this monster

Not much you can’t tackle with a 501 ultimate machine 💪

I have the TE300 2 stroke version of this machine and I love it. Now I kind off want a 501 LOL

Listening to the sound of this bike is better than music .

Haha love it I'm about to ride my 2019 KTM 500 FMF tuned braaaaapppp

That thang has so much torque it should have a Reece hitch

Sounds naughty even though I'm 2 stroke till I die

I'm the same way brother. I started riding 2 strokes at the age of 5 years old in 1978. Fifty years old now, with an even bigger love of 2 stroke dirtbikes. Only 4 strokes I have ever owned are sportsbikes. When it comes to dirtbikes, 2 strokes are a must, because I'm addicted to their torque, and their aggressive powerbands. Take care, brother.

Big bore 4strokes sound so good

What a ripper

Keep the bike Ken! Only on this earth once 🚀🚀🚀

That's the offroad version fe501 that's street legal in his state.my brother bought same year bike fe 501s in California where we live and they're all chocked up with smog bs so you have to get a pipe and vortex ignition or similar to get them to run right and spend 1500 on a brand new bike to get the power back to how it should be be, that beast is already uncorked and ready to rip. California laws suck😢

I wish that the whackadoo environmental tree huggers in California wouldn't have taken away all of the fun for us 2 stroke lovers. They're batshit crazy, and the upsetting and ironic part of all of those controlling people, is that they often don't follow the rules and laws that they make for people like myself and you to follow. They should never be allowed to be exempt from their dictatorlike, strongarming, and insane laws. Airplanes in the sky create much more pollution in the environment, as well as many other common things doing the same, compared to 2 stroke dirtbikes. These days, if people want to buy a 2 stroke jap dirtbike, that's over 85cc, they have very few choices to pick from to buy. Thank God for GasGas, KTM, and Husqvarna doing their own thing. Take care brother.

4 4 stroke monster

Beautiful machine! It inspires me to get my XR500R running

This thing's the Magic💫

I need this, would be a good upgrade from my 08 te450 dual sport

Awesome bike 👊

Beast!

Wow! Nice Husky....and street legal!

And just when we thought that our weekend video dump was over… 💥 BAM!! Kap to the rescue!!! 🛟

Ken you guys should do a video on the young man from Putnam CT that had his Husqvarna and Honda dirt bike stolen. It was his Make A Wish gift as he barely beat his fight with leukemia. There’s a $2500 reward for the 2) dirt bikes stolen. Your viewers could help spread the word to keep an eye out. Special place in hell for some jerks that stole dirt bikes from a kid that beat cancer.

can you do more REVIEW on STARK VARG ?? that was great video when you just got one in - thanks /put a speaker system on it big bore 2 stroke sound !!

Man sweet bike

Would love to own that BA bike!

Awesome😊

If I won the lottery I'd buy it immediately!!!!

I have 6,000 miles 200 hours on my 501 just basic maintenance no problems. Should probably take a peak at valves…or not

Your back.

U need to keep that is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Sweet machine! Some people seem to enjoy building missiles like this and then not riding them much. That is a money losing proposition that makes for a great used bike buy. That bike belongs in the Western desert and/or mountains, where it can stretch it's legs properly. That bike would be a little much for the East coast woods. Saw the title and knew there would be lots of brappy wheelies, and wasn't disappointed. Now I just need to watch the GasGas 700 video again 😆

Anyone thinking about buying one of these do it! Love my ktm one

This bike looks faster than the electric bike on the road cause he was hauling ass when he went by the camera man

Damn he was cooking

I just missed out on a local 2020 501s that I was hoping to look at this weekend, guy sold it Thursday night. The hunt continues!

Salut Kaplan America quelle belle machine et ce bruit magnifique.quel talent pour le pilote ❤😮 David le français

How it's is vs Jr's 700? I've got a 700 but it was hard for me to choose between the two. I went with the 700 for the difference in the service and planning to use it on the road a good bit.

700 is much faater and better road bike

Come on Big K take it home keep it ride the hell out of it and you can do future videos of you riding it at home.

I have the KTM. I want to see Kaplan America go full banana sandwich on that thing.

😂 God bless, Kaplan cycles

She cool

that bike sounds like the devil coming down the road.Sick

What’s the maintenance on something like this?

@davelambardo6464

Depending on how hard you ride them and if you want to fallow manufacturer recommend times exactly or not , your looking at 1 1/4 quarts of premium oil every 6 - 25 hours . I run mine little longer in the winter months when I am off road more. In summer I hit more road, change more often.

Wonder how that thing would hold up against the cr500

@sonnyseabury4051

3 ай бұрын

I think the CR 500 would beat it in torque, has a much more aggressive powerband, and in a straightline drag race in the dirt, would smoke it.

What happened with the sale of the bike? I thought it had a higher bid than it sold for. 🤔

@KaplanCycles

Deadbeat bidder messaged us and asked us to retract his bid because he didn't think you could register in his state then he contacted us again and said he still wanted to buy it we told him to get his head straight before he enters any more bids because he was a little confused

this was when ktm owned them right? Or right before? they were a bike not to f with in hare scrambles.
