Destry Abbott's KX500 Championship Bike
Here's a KX500 video we've been working on for the last month! I'm pretty excited with the way it turned out and have more projects in the works for next year! This was the first time I've ridden my KX500 in 8-years and I was honestly surprised how much fun I had on it! It brought back some great memories! Thanks again for everyone's support this year!

that ending with the 2 stroke noise in the background then the wheelie suprise was insane
Well, I've got a KX 250, time for a KX 500. BRAAAAAP!!! Two strikers for life.
Wow Destry....just wow...Thanx for sharing your talent with us mortals on two wheels !!
I found a 2003 KX500 for sale - bought it immediately. I am currently fixing a few things but look forward to a lot of riding this year.
The undisputed KING of the Bombrun!! The KX500.

Sure does
Always great to ride with the 5 time AMA Hare and Hound Champion Destry Abbott
I watch this about once a week! LOL
The beautiful sound of a two stroke far in the desert...
Man that KX500 was awesome back in the day and still is not obsolete. Great video great music. Good job. Ken
Great fun. I loved the grunt of my kx 500
OMG ! danny is proud !
Still one of my favorite bike vids on KZread!
Coolest 500 2t video Iv ever seen.. Thing looks and sounds incredible.
Hell ya! You man handled that machine, mad props
Love the Video! Nice seeing the 500 back in action.
that looks like a f*cking dream!
Wow Destry you freaking ride the green beast awesome brother !KAWA KX500 2 STROKE BIGBORE rips! Much respect sir !
Destry...Thank You for making this video... You are the man.
I love this video, these bikes are mean and meant for speed, and your video shows it. My dad actually has one and we are eventually going to restore it, runs amazing but i feel like it deserves it.
Standard badass video for a badass rider
I’ve had 4 of these bikes over the years. Funnest to ride bike on the planet hands down. Nothing like a kx500 in 5 th gear

Wtf I barely get into 4th and that’s rare on my kx250 but I can’t ride for shit lol 😂
500 FOREVER !
two things i learned from this video, 1. I want a kx 500 2. Destry Abbott is a giant, bike looks tiny under him! & he rips.

I think the same hahaha !!!! But i already got my kx500
Awesome video. More please.
500cc the best bikes ever 💯
Awesome valving on that suspension. Rockets through the whooped stuff and soaks the big air with very plush and steady rebound. Love to know who set that up. Very good!
Reminds me me of hamel the way he throws it around like a 125.
Awesome totally awesome! Cant wait to get my 500 this spring.
Looks like the moto 4 caselli segment
Sick bike, sad Kawaski doesn't still make them
Respect
just beautiful…
Damn that's a nice bike !
Awesome video..Awesome bike
Great video! Inspires me to just go out and ride!
Maybe you can talk Kawi into bringing back the 500 in a modern AF.
This will scare the hell out of the 4 stroke wanna-bes. Long live the King Killer KX500.

@@snkneo-geo933 Depends what track your talking about. Supercross probably. The 80's KX and CR suspension on production bikes was very high compared to modern 4 stroke. That area he's riding is beast country long straight away to unleash the mighty power of the KX and I mean power my brother. If you never rode a KX or CR500 especially the 80'and early ninety's bikes then you never felt brute torque. I guess at the end it all depends on the rider. 4 strokes are like woman they always have a freaking problem lol.
Outstanding filming.
totally awesome.
I have a Rocket Science KX500 and I Love it
Top video, well done. Regards
Awesome riding
Wow! Yeap, I'm still riding my 1989 KX500-E1. A good friend is riding a reconditioned 2000. Desert, dunes & Rocky Mountain 4x4 roads. It can do it all. I often feel that I'm going as fast as Desrty, because of my tri-focal eye glasses. haha With stock gearing I was once radared at 85 mph (it was topped out) on ice on a 750 ft snowmobile drag race track. I've never geared it Up or Down.
I'm telling you, its a modern version of Time to Ride.....RAD!
Great video/music combination! What song is this? I still ride the CR & KX500's. Some of the best bikes ever made!
The Kawa looks so fucking brutal with that big fuel tank and in the hands of Destry Abbott goes really fast.I like the end when he wheelies it so melow.
That 2 stroke fuel is clear af
Tank still had gas why did the video stop!!!
Amazing video! Make more!
Sounds like a plane flying over at speed
😍😍😍😍 un rêve cette moto
Jeebus. That's fast.
dream bike right there
Beast bike and definitely rider
That has a super chunky back tire 3:49
You were killing the trail
More.... I need MOAR!!!!!
Wish I had my 2 Smoker right now. It has been in the shop since last September. I have a new Hot Rods crank, Wiseco clutch, Pro X piston, Boysen Vforce 3 reeds, etc. I don't remember all I got for it. I need to call them and tell them my mom will be picking it up when she goes to my little sisters high school graduation. No I bought it all myself but I had moved and didn't have the room to bring it with me.
Just fukin SEND IT,,,, Brapppp Brapppp Brapppp!!!!!
look like mine but mine has gold rims .who did that clutch clover i would like to have mine done like that
eigth years? how do you not use a kx500 in 8 years!?
I was thinking it looked like Stoddard Wells area in some pics but others l am not so sure ? I ride there and was thinking that was Bell mountain in the background ?
two-stroke power plants are definitely best for two wheeled motorcycles little harder to ride four strokes are easy to ride Two Strokes rule
How did it feel in comparison to a new 450?
real man !!!!!!!!
was this filmed out in Johnson valley ca
Old times gun! :)
Little over a 100 pinned 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻💨💨💨💨💨👍👍👍

gotta have 2 tires on hand all times. lots of chains and sprockets. just buy the big spool of chain like 800 dollars. extra rims so you can swap out fast.
When men were real hay ABBOTT .🤔👍🤟
