RIP Donny

She's a beauty, looks new.🎉

Brilliant video..David thorpes bikes to this day a work of Art..Great days..

Fascinating... Fantastic.. Bit of history that needs to be kept Dave.. Look after her mate! Dave Thorpe superstar 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Superb video. Thank you 👍

I love the honesty of a pure factory championship bike....untouched and fresh from the last podium. Unrestored winners might appear a little shabby,but to some of us....they are not bathed in oil, mud and fluids they are bathed in glory. Having seen the trick bits...all I wanted to do was grab that 4 wired throttle grip that looks so legit. Cheers!....on a "too clean" cherry of Mx history.

I loved those special times ,its far gone now unfortunately IMO Thank you I had the 89 500

So lucky to have you in our sport, you have made me and a lot of people very happy, with the events you have organised., 👍

Yeah i noticed lots of motocrossers in the background.

Fantastic, what a piece of art 👌👍

Brilliant. Cant wait to see this work of art in August

I saw that bike in Luxembourg GP in 89. Hated hondas, would love to get my 90 KX100, rode itfor the acu schoolboy nationals that year, it would be my last year of racing as i started the 91 season in the seniors and wanted to keep it forever as it had slechten exhaust pipe, rebored, kehein carb, lots of other stuff too. I gave up mid 91 and it was abig mistake. I had nothing to do with the sport, i actively avoided it, i only just found out we broke usas record mxdn streak, i met rob herring and paul malin at Worcester offroad motorcycle academy in 86 with Roger Harvey when i was 10.

I appreciate those hondas now especially the 86 or 85 with that fuel tank vacuum pump.

Never raced but ridden a few crossers, I'm 46 now, nice work lads.

I couldn't believe it when Dave went to kawasaki. Kaos on the Honda team might have pushed him out.

Awesome dave,,,,,,

Great to see works of art like I had a factory suzuki with a Brad lackeys engine sold it for peanuts what's the Honda worth today? 🤔

...edited for us gear heads i'm sure.. thank you for sharing...

Great video Dave, did it have a plastic tank or ally ?

Awesome video, so this bike is complete, full HRC engine and complete showa forks?

So you said those forks did not have the works internals?

Looks like the rear wheel has more spokes than standard?

Maybe the silencer is more quiete during tech-inspection?

I have the standard silencer on my CR500, similar in size though different materials. It's definately more restrictive than a FMF or ProCircuit, but it gives it more bottom end torque at the expense of top end performance.

hi dave is it for sale
