no question- the CR500 by far. It's getting to be no funny to ride 'cause you have to riding in a aggressive manner most of the time or you'll get hurt[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] You just don't go around wicking the throttle to see what will happen. It will let you know real quick[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I'm looking at replacing some toys soon. I went to the local auction yesterday in fact and didn't see what they had was what I was looking fer. The older son wants a WR250 Yamaha bike and I want to get a WR450 (with the magic button). We have been trying to go on night rides but half our bikes don't have lights or lightning coils to put some on.

Thinking back on it (scary thought right there-me thinking) I must be getting older [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] The bikes that used to give me a rush now wear me out![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I have the CR80 in the Trader today. Maybe next week the 500, warrior and Shee might be there. Looking at a Polaris maybe[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] and the WR450 bike. Still like them things. Been ridin bikes for over 37 years and still like to ride 'em[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
BTY- I already sold the XR650. I killed that thing at Gordons this summer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I would put that 500 motor in the like ETON 90 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] i have riden cr250s and 500s and no doubt about a dirtbike. you have to ride it like your crashin all the time. else you will get cought off gaurd and crash and hurt yourself. that in its self is why i ride a quad. too many accidents on the 2 wheels than and its too rainy and slick around here and you can ride the dirtbike without killing yourself maybe 2 months a year. down to an XR200 now that sits in the barn if i feel like a two wheel tootle. the last 2 wheeler before that was a KX250 that was a mean machine. when i got my raptor i almost got a yz450F or an XR650 but that 2 wheel thing and me gettin older. yeah. 4 tires and try to keep the rubber on the ground. it dont always work out that way but its a goal [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Junior's bike would be a kick with that motor in there but I wouldn't want him to ride it. He's not paid for yet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Are they ever???I'm still waiting to find out

I think it's been done before. There are some with XR650 engines also. That's a better engine for that chassis
