Can't say enough how much I appreciate the hill climb coverage. Thanks Team Kaplan but also all the riders who take the time to show us the bikes and talk. This is great content and hopefully will grow this.

Someone should acknowledge that amongst all those massive powered bikes, and old 250 conquered the hill pretty easily.

The H2 & XR just flat Smoked that Hill!💪🤘🏼

H2 810 is the boss

I liked how my 750k inline 4 sounded but didn't love it compared to modern 750 exhaust notes. 10+ years later hearing the CB engine I don't know what I was thinking back then, the CB power plant sounds killer. Thanks for uploading, hill climbs are the most fun to watch.

That CB was so familiar sounding. My buddy had one he had bored out to 900cc. Use to barely be able to out run him with my KZ900. Also that wonderful HB810 needs a steeper hill. Two-strokes forever!

I don't think riding a 125 is a disadvantage. I have owned everything from 100 cc Harley Bajas to KX 500s. Dont think i ever rode anything faster, than i did my little RMs and KX 125s. Now pushing 80 years old and still have a YZ and a XT 500 ready to go.😊

Hillclimbing was the original form of motorcycle racing. Did a lot of it as a kid. Of course there were not long swing arms back then but my Tiger Cub was pretty good. Coming back down the hill was the hardest part. Friend bought an H2 we all rode it , it went over backwards on several including me.

H2 all day long I do miss mine all of them...

Ye-e-ears and years ago (late '70's I think) I saw a hillclimb where Canadian John Williams rode his Honda 500 on open pipes and fuel and the sound just blew my mind, first time hearing something bigger than a model ariplane engine running on nitromethane - YIKES. But at that event, the fastest bike up the hill by a long shot was an XR-750 HD that just rumbled and seemed to hook up all the way, he crested the hill just flying.

LOOKS LIKE ALOT OF FUN! 👍

The H2 all day!

crazy bikes love it !

Hell yeah!

Another sweeeet video!!😊

The guy on the XR750 is built for the hill climb, He's got his belly working for him, you have to throw all your weight forward when you start to climb so when you get close to the top the bike won't come out from under you. You can tell he's done this a time or two.

Super cool !!!

great effort on the witch what a nice guy aswell

Very cool

CB750 sounded wicked! 2nd jump got him. That looks like the hardest part. To try not to lose any speed over it and send it into the next county!

Too heavy for hill climbing but a good street bike.

HY , the Harley Davidson hammered it up!!!

I'll give the HD the Best of Show award. Even though my H2 used to regularly try to kill me I do miss it.

That place was packed!! You must've sponsored that H2 my original kx500 rear fender. 😁

Can't you guys use the hole shot device on the front forks?

Man that first guy held on to it he would have had that thing nailed down six days to Sunday 👍

Exactly........I loved that XR750......but couldn't help rooting for the H2. I had the 550 triple as a young man..... fastest stoplight to stoplight ever. 😁

Tinha um ali muito pesado pra moto!

Xr ftw everytime 🚀

Tack!

Pies at the top

That CB750 was the best sounding, too bad he dumped it on the jump!

Laconia nh? Lets go

Dammn was that h2 bord out to 810cc must be a very special engine

Lol...why don't they stick a V8 in them..just cut to the chase lol..if it's more power they want it's in that forsure...

Xr needs an animal riding it lol

When I was young in the mid to late 60s my dad was into hill climbing and there was no jumps on the hill. I think the jumps are uncalled for

Bonjour,👌💪🏻🙏🇺🇸HD🦾

Why don't you show them going over the top?

Vesva ok???

H-D....

How about a kawasaki h2r.

You're crazy. What engine is that?

Just lose some weight and you'll cut time out of your record. People just add CC's thinking it will just replace the skills and weight you carry. Just think of a whale riding a dirt bike, what about the balance, body movement and so many other details. Seriously America wtf!?
