wow, i feel like stuff like this should stay in the museum. Wont always keep finding these. Things gorgeous
My thoughts exactly
It’s good to see you wearing a helmet. That’s cool. Awesome bike!
I'm torn between that..on one hand they're made to be ridden and I'd be very tempted to ride this if I had it..then again, you can always rebuild an old one to rip around on. So, idk what I'd do if I owned something like this..I'd have to hang it from the ceiling so that I couldn't get to it and give into the urge to rip this thing haha
I would love to ride . I wouldn't let go of anything. But he is a business. I thank him for posting.
@@KaplanCycles do u have a link for this gas tank?
Man i love that model. Same with the CR, KX, and RM from 2001. Being a kid at the time and drooling over these bikes in magazines and videos. Good times.
Yes I love these2 strokes.. I loved my xr 650. It booked in the hills .. pretty heavy tho .. my two stroke beat it
What an absolute masterpiece I have the little sister to it a 02 125 rips good. You really do have a time machine!
Even the oil drain bolt is shining… what a nice yz250
I just bought myself a 2001 yz250. I had the 2001 125 as my first bike so I wanted the 250. Bit of a sentimental thing. But it’s also my favourite model of the YZ. It’s also just as good of condition as this. Only 15 hours on the motor after a full rebuild. New plastics, hardly a mark on it. Love seeing these old bike being restored and ridden.
I have the same model 01 yz250. Does it have original chain adjuster blocks? Trying to find something that'll fit. They dont make aftermarket blocks for that bike 96-01 smh
beautiful...........example.......You guys need to have a 50th anniversary YZ in the facility............
2001 yr I graduated man I wanted one of them!! Sweeeet bike
Sounds deeper than a modern 250 awesomeness man thank you
I had a 99 yz125 basically same steel frame. It was my first big bike jump from a 97 yz80. Good memories on that bike. Loved those late 90s early 2000 yamahas. Big fan of John Dowd too that's about the time he was on those as well i think he took a 125 championship around 98 or 99 on board Yamaha like that
I ride a ‘01 YZ250. It’s such a great bike!! Love it… But this bike is insanely clean!!!
What chain adjuster blocks are you running on your bike? They dont make aftermarket blocks for that bike. Just Wondering if anyone knows something else that'll work, mines kinda bent.
My god the things I would do to get my hands on a steel frame yz 250. Things a beaut ken, wish I had the $ to buy that off you. Such an amazing bike in every category and sooo ahead of its time.
Top motorcycle 👍appreciate the latest feeds of your motorcycles well done 👏 💪☕️☕️
That mic catch gets me every time. Rock star status🎉
I have the 2001 yz125 with Athena big bore kit (144) and it runs very strong. I would love to own this beautiful machine. I personally think it's the best looking bike of all time. Hopefully whoever gets it will cherish it as I would 🤘🤘
Everything you show and sell is museum quality and mint condition. Commendable, Ken.
Dirtbikes is my love and passion im a very good rider I hope I can get involved in something like you guys do
Had one of those absolutely loved it.did some mods to it that I learned grass dragging snowmobiles back in the day.thing was crazy fast.imo don't run engine ice in the older never been apart motor.
💯 % Mic Toss over YZ 2 - Stroke 💨 💕
My dad had one of these in 2003 with dep exhaust , either wp or K-tech suspension with some black graphics, I wish I was around to see it
Im still waiting for you to come across a yz400f/yz426f in this condition. If anyone can find one its you! This is damn close enough though. What a beautiful bike, looks better than any newer generation imo.
Still hands down fastest dirt bike I’ve ever road and I’ve road damn near every single size.
Very nice bike , sounds bigger than a 250 ..
I have one that is not that clean but is clean,blast to ride smile ear to ear 2stroke power 💪💪,great bike 👍🔥.
She’s beautiful Ken.
So damn clean!
Just picked up a very low hr barn find 2001 yz250… 2200.00👍
Best motor ever! You can Moto it or make it a woods weapon and its simple with out all the electronics and fuel injection.
Okay Kenny playtime is over time to get back to work 😂😂😂😂😂
That thing is a dime wow!
That is one beautiful bike, big brother. I don't see it lasting long, before they sell it. This must have been before Yamaha started putting blue rims on their YZ's. I was always a Yamaha guy, through and through. Once y'all educated me on the advantages of GasGas bikes, although I still have a lifelong love affair with Yamaha, I jumped the fence to the other side, going with GasGas, because of hard consistent work their research and development team puts in, yearly, that You and Jr told me about. My Gas Gas 2 stroke MC 250, is the best dirtbike purchase I ever made, and for that, I thank You and Jr. ML&R Always, from Sonny in Louisiana! Kaplan Cycles For Life.

dream bike
Such a wicked bike.
Yamaha does make a great bike I’ve had a few and all great running dependable bikes
whoa!!! nice job june
In my younger days I would take that bike to any motocross track and just absolutely send it now that I'm older I would do nothing but rub it with a diaper it is way too nice to even taken the dirt really nice machine
I love these bikes
Hey Ken ! I think it would be totally awesome if you and your crew would build an exact replica of Bob Hannah's 79 factory YZ 250. I mean in every detail down to the nut and bolt.
U have a link for that gas tank? Is it a 125 gas tank? That gap from the bottom of tank to exhaust is bigger then I’m finding. All the tanks I’m seeing the picture they show that gap isn’t that big thanks
That is exactly what im riding these days" a guy bought it back in the day..and rode it a couple of times, then parked in his mansion for seventeen years...then his nephew took it and blew it up immediately...then I bought for peanuts! It ain't a CR ..but it's still a rocket ship!
Super cool
I own the same bike. Just as clean.
How much did it go for in auction?
Looks identical to mine but mine is a restore I even had the idiot stickers made lol but I can't not ride it don't have the heart to. Everytime I look at my cr500 sitting in my living room that's never had gas in it I wanna go rip it so bad lol
I have an '04 that has about 60 hours at most. I know!!!! I broke a bunch of ribs riding it in '04. At 55, I feel them today!!! 🤣
That bike is beautiful. I have an 06 YZ 250 and I absolutely love it, I call it the Dragon lol. 2 stroke family here all the way, we have all 2 strokes, we have a 1998 YZ 125, my son races his 04 CR 85 which we did a frame off total rebuild(thing is absolutely mint) We get compliments on that bike from numerous people every time we are at the track(they think were crazy for racing it lol) we have a 07 KX 85 also,we just love them.
Love your content, cant get enough of the channel
Kaplan, in terms of power how would say that '01 YZ250 compares to the '01 CR250 that you had in recently.
Pretty damn close. Would need dyno.proof
Be a nice bike to have!
So I've noticed one major thing change and seniors YZ250 spill over the past five or six years. Initially back in 2018 the 250f technology hadn't quite progress to today's models but so it's not just semantics motivating senior statement of claiming a 250 f is slower than a 250 2 stroke and me being a two-stroke lover I hate that fact but the research and development into the four strokes has gone on so much that to this day I do with the f is actually pretty much the same weight and faster than the 2 two strokes of the time but make no mistake, these like KTM are pioneering new technology and I believe before everything goes electric.... two strokes will have an extensive and a niche in the industry.. and in my opinion come back to dominated portion of the racing scene as a two-stroke scube drumming on with more r&d put into them they will surpass the four strokes once again if that's the case... And the cheap of maintaining and requiring gathering skill sets and the utter simplicity of a racer being able to actually work on your bike if if broken either to build factors to ignore when the average eraser with average income wants to race but can't get in the door do to the limitations of the dollar whereas the skill-sets could be far exceeding that it's unfortunate but I believe the rider is good enough and will stand out enough you will be found and latest and greatest bike or not, such a high skill set will be noticed within the context of the racer and bike , and how the bike was at its peak ability, while the riders skills far exceed d the bikes li.itations and w today's tech, that's becoming more and more rare......
Never rode a yz. World class your right.
I don't need to Honda makes me happy
She’s a rippa!
sweeeeeet
I thought Jr. was a Kawi guy.
The kings bike Jeremy mcgrath
My dumbass sold mine for a grand back in JUNIOR HIGH, Same exact model I just had an aftermarket exhaust on mine. Yup, buddy sold it a week later for 2500$. A week after that someone at my dad’s work offered him 3 for it. Looking back I wish I still had it cause if so I wouldn’t be making this comment. I’d be GONE 💨💨💨
Thats the year McGrath race that machine
Its not a CR nor KX but I will take it 😂😂
LOL…Hey dawg , ITS A YZ125!!….just look at the
Motor….125looks like Pepsi can….250more like
A large can of Jif peanut butter….just sayn.😂😮
Lol….not worth the time to even
Post the truth here is it?….Yep great. 250!….no it’s a 450 2stroke
Even better!
Idiot stickers 😂😂😂😂😂 ! What happened to L00P about Larry gas go's here sticker ?
The best looking. Im sorry, but all the new bikes CAN'T compare to the older bikes.
Please stop with the “vintage” crap you are making it so everyone with a bike that’s older thinks they have a goldmine and we can no longer afford to buy and ride at “museum” prices. Barrett Jackson did the same thing to muscle cars and no only the rich can own a decent one
Wtf a got a 2001 yz125 in 2008 exact same as that but was nowhwre near as clean as that and that was 15 years ago lol that thing is mint
