If you have ever read or been a part of anything dealling with a 500cc two stroke. You are already aware of the bad traits the 500cc two stroke has been known for. But just know this every bad trait you have heard or even read about is severelly exagerated. The power is tameable the vibrations forgetable once you open the throttle. This is where the CR and KX500af comes into play. The af makes you forget about old style handling, big bulky, soft suspension and weight of the 500cc. Even though the CR and KX500 steel chassi's are still lighter than the 450f now. Its funny really, back when men were men they tried to get the 500cc to be like a four stroke of today. Now they are trying to make the 450 run like a 500cc of yesterday. They strive for more power and less weight. Hello, the 500cc af's take care of all that.
Break The Silence. Post your commets.

Wake up.. Are you talking about riding skills cuz if you are then maybe you could beat my CR500af on the track. Cuz I am not as fast as I want to be. I never said I was fast. If you are talking power and speed in general well, then you are saddly mistaken. I love it when someone challenges my bike to a race but don't specify the type of race. The thing is ,is you know that your 450f would never beat any 500cc two stroke in an all out power race.! You just want to talk smack about what I am posting. Anybody who is anybody in motocross knows that a 500cc two stroke is the King of power and speed. Show show my some real video footage of your 450 beating a 500cc two stroke in a race. If you and I were the same skill level on a track you would need to buy a new helmet and goggles after the race.
What the fuck is with the non stop commercial for the fucking AF 500? James, are you getting anything for this? There is no other person in this whole DBA community that goes around and seemingly does nothing but try and peddle here specific bike.
Do you actually ride the thing? How about you go out and ride the POS and do a ride report, take some pictures, shit, anything other than try and convince people of what? What are you trying to convince people of? Ok, it's a great bike. Woohoo. Chirp, chirp, now what? Circle jerk?
Uh, oh, I think the wife just got home, gotta go

Do you have a problem with me talking about the 500cc bikes in general? If you don't like them or what I am posting don't reply or read. Just like your Political Thread says if it affends you do not read.!What the fuck is with the non stop commercial for the fucking AF 500? James, are you getting anything for this?

Raw power. Your 500 will not stand a chance against my 450. Has nothing to do with talents i don't have any.
But what is your purpose? Your a walking/typing fucking wannabe billboard for a specific bike. Why? Don't fucking run and hide behind the don't read it bullshit. Cheap ass cop-out. Answer the question. Why is it that a high percentage of your posts are nothing but a commercial for a specific bike that is custom made that you say you have 0 $$ interest in.

You are CRYING to James for me posting my oppinion on a thread about a bike in which I ride. What would James say after he sees the crap you are posting about me. Cussing and swearing like a little boy who don't get his way. LITTLE BOY!! Hey Slow Turtle maybe you should practicewhat you preach.But what is your purpose?

Are you

He can't ride as he lives in what at the moment is a frozen wasteland. Checking the weather it's a whopping 8 degrees right now.
If you have never ridden one it's a good experience to swing a leg over one. Every time I do it my arms hurt the next day. They have a smile and giggle factor that only the 500cc two strokes can have. That said I choose not to own one. I hate starting those things and I spent ten years on a hard to start XR600.
There are downsides. A CR500 is pretty much a track only bike due to the close ratio transmission. If you gear it for desert speed, gnarly singletrack is a handful unless you go really fast. If you gear it for the tight stuff it tops out at 45. The KX is somewhat better and makes a better bike off the track. Plus the KX has that power valve so the torque curve is broader. Back in the late 80's and 90's the Baja 1000 was pretty much the KX500 or XR600. Honda developed the XR650 with the specific intent to displace the KX500 from the top spot of the podium. It did what it was designed for.
My money is on CDA for the race. I know that his racing resume is a little more filled out than yours.
Hell I'm slow and I could easily devise a plan where your bike would have little chance of success. Likewise you would smoke me on a MX track because I've done a total on one lap on a MX track in my decades of riding.
A little more seriously, have you ever tried you skills against a pro rider? It's usually quite humbling for most of us mere mortal riders.

Mad? Not even close.
