I recently picked up a KLX300 bike to finally learn how to ride on two wheels (been on ATVs for 13 years).....Tough learning curve to say the least !! My regular riding bunch consists mostly of 2-wheelers and have finally gotten enough confidence to test-ride their bikes. I hopped on a mildly worked CR500 (port&polished) and SAW JESUS (no offense intended) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Unbeliveable power and acceleration - makes most ATVs seem meek. Anybody else had the same thought ?

Just had to share......

 

Bet your arms where jello after eh?

 

Make's you want a 100+hp ATV doesn't it.

 

I have a chance to pick up a CR500 that needs a piston & rings for about $500. I am thinking swap the motor into a quad.

 

Rode a CR500 at the dunes last spring. Had a paddle tire, pipe, etc. That thing went up the hills like they weren't even there. Absolutely huge power.

 

just think about it though, 500cc two-stroke under 300lbs. Damn Fisher! you sure started with a bang!

 

No replacement for displacement! Nothing like a big bore.

 

they are wicked, ive rode a few in my time ive been riding, also have rode some old suzuki rms one was a 400 one a 500 the the ohter was like a 450, honda use to make like a 480 or 486 or mayb it was yamaha that had that odd ball, size but those bikes even for there age haul. those cr500s are wicked.. first time i rode one i hit 3rd gear and hamered it, he had a trail tech speedo and it was doing like 50. has it lisenced so its like wow. he got pulled over once and the officer was like wat kind of bike is that and stuff and just told him to slow down. and the officer was like if u are even in my area again i wanna ride it.

 

this is confusing your posts make it seem like its a dirtbike...

 

I have both a Raptor and a CR500 thats ported and polished. I bring both to Glamis. I can start the 500 at the base of any hill or at any point on the hill ,it doesn't matter, it just screams up. It's alot of fun!
