I have always wondered what the top speed on a newer CR500 is? I tried searching but no information was found. I would assume that with stock gearing they are pretty fast. Anyone know for sure what their top speed is?

 

if you post your topic here you are bound to find out. This is the best place for information on the great CR500's http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/186548

 

I was clocked about 65 on sand highway through all those dam whoops inbetween glamis store and geko. on my 2-weeler 95 cr500.

 

fast. i would say 80 or so stock

 

Are you guys smoking the weed. My little brothers kx 85 does 65MPH. that shoulddo like 120 easy.

 

derekb21 - If you changed the stock gearing, the engine could probably pull past 100 mph. The question was with stock gearing and then it's a function of how fast you get to top speed. The CR500 will accelerate faster than the KX85.

 

yea I got the bike with a renthal sproket it was probly geared down a bit, acceleration and top speed are two different worlds there buddy!

 

I was figuring with stock gearing around 105mph but wasn't sure so thats why I asked [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I had one, with stock gearing I'd guess mid 70s. It still pulled wheelies in fifth so you know it will pull much higher gearing.

 

If Im correct the 500's were geared toward more acceleration more than top end cuz yes it would do over 100 easily with different gearing. My sisters 250R does about 80 Id guessed and the 500 would kill it in a race so Id guess 85 or so. My dads is also bored over once and got some other minor mods
