We’re taking a look at my entire Honda CR500/big bore bike collection. The Honda big bore bikes in my collection run from 1981 CR 450 to 1997 CR500. A few of them I race, the remaining I have in my collection that are fully restored. We’ve covered some of these bikes in detail in separate videos on my YouTube channel. Any of the bikes we haven’t yet covered, we will be doing in-depth videos on in the next few weeks.

As a private party collector, I may have one of the largest Honda CR big bore collections....but we had to do a teaser title. I’m sure a few members and certainly museums have me beat on numbers. I have several bikes that are restored to original condition and some are original and have just been detailed/cleaned. Some I have restored and set up to ride and race and others I have restored to my personal liking. For those that do not get ridden and are fully restored I store them with no fuel in the tanks and if I did a full restoration on them I have not put gas in the tank since nor radiator fluid.

For racing, I am a big fan of 1981-1983 class (drum brake only) and 1984 - 1986 (front disc only). I feel these are the most fun and the bikes are closest to a modern feel you can get. They are a big difference from racing in the 1978-1980 class. You can still jump big jumps with these bikes and they take a beating.

Below are videos that cover each bike in great detail and how I obtained them. Next week, we will be going in-depth on one of the cleanest all original 1986 CR 500's I have ever seen. I am excited to see this video myself! Hope to see you at next weekend’s video.
