Not if you are not the one riding the bike. Post some vids of you riding your bike and I will def watch those.:thumb:

And since at 50 my memory appears to be a bit better preserved than yours, I believe I posted a few pictures of the CR500 I had so I don't need anyone to trust me to twist a throttle on their 500cc 2-stroke off-road motorcycle. Nor do I need to search the internet to find videos of people riding a modern 450cc 4-stroke off-road motorcycle. I can just view my own camera. Matter of fact, I'm gonna make another video tomorrow. I can't wait.:banana:

I respect the riding you do as well as your age. But, the post and videos are not degrading to you or your riding ability. My post are simply showing that the 500cc two strokes are coming back, They are a great bike! If you do not like them or me then do not open my threads. Do me a favor if you don't watch the video's do not post a comet. I never said or made you believe that I was a pro rider. Hell I never ever said I could ride the trails you do. I live pay check to pay check. I have family of six A wife and four boys. Oh yah as I said I live in NY. So my time is taken over by Mother Nature shoveling and trying not to freeze. I do not have the same opportunities to ride as often as you. I look forward to watching your video. The places you ride do make me want to join you.

Has anyone mentioned that you seem to have some pent up anger? You should express yourself more, say what you really mean. It can only get better:wave:

Ps-I have never said I didn't like them. Nor did I ever say I didn't like you. This isn't personal, don't get hung up on that.

Go ahead and post but, why are they always about me not the video or post. You find ways to argue with me because of what I posted. That's the way it seems anyway. You never said hey awesome video or that makes me wish I could ride one. Or I have even seen one on the track or trail. Or hell that was a great looking bike.

I might say nice bike or awesome video if it didn't seem like you were intentionally ripping on the very bikes that I enjoy the most.

I haven't seem one on the trail. No, sorry, there was one on a ride I went on. He fouled his plug. Do you always have to take the seat and gas tank off to change the plug? And now that I think about it, what kind of mileage do those bad boys get? A lot of the riding I do require a 100 mile fuel range.

Actually, no, it doesn't make me want to ride one because I have my own bike. I don't go and ask everyone I ride with to ride there bike. If I see a commercial for a Ferrari, it doesn't make me want to go test drive one either. So it's nothing personal against anything in particular, that's just me.

I will appalogize if you feel that way. With what you said makes me want to ask you your oppinion on the videos of the 500cc two strokes. Let me ask you if you watched any of these video's. Have you once thought about maybe trying to ride one. Maybe even back to back with your bike so you can compair them yourself?

No you do not or should not have to remove the tank or the seat the remove the plug. You should know that if you have ever worked on a bike. opps MX bike..

I'd ride one. As I've mentioned before, I know a guy that does CR500AF conversions himself and the opportunity for me to ride one is always open. Would I pick one over a new 450? Probably not, a CR500AF is a 10-12k purchase cost or a whole lot of work for a ride able bike, that I would still add a steering stabilizer, desert tank, and suspension re valve to.

Good bikes that are cool? Yes.
Are they for everyone? No, and thats not a knock on the bike. No single bike is for everyone, thats why they build lots of different bikes :banana:
Lifes too short to worry about what people think of what you ride (dress, drive, live for that matter) so pick the one you like and don't worry about what other people think :thumb:

No, I haven't thought about comparing them. For me, the bike isn't practical. It can't be dual sported, it doesn't have an electric start. You've seen the type of riding I prefer to do. I fall over a lot. A bike flooding out then being hard to start is one thing. Having to kick it while on a side hill in a rocky mess just compounds the struggle.

One has to prioritize the requirements before making a purchase decision.:thumb:
