We should make this the dirt bike thread.Hey stoopidbot do the cr500's have good low end?

 

It almost has too much power the whole way through. I use mine for our long rides through Mexico. The mountain trails I ride the bike takes so much clutch work it is ridiculous.

 

What year is that?

 

It's a 99

 

ok thanks Stoopidbot i get what u mean and nice bike! that thing must be ridiculous fast! im sure it must be extremly hard to keep it on the ground lol ive seen videos of cr500s takeing off and they can never stay on both wheels even in six gear!!! i dont think would ever be able to handle that-how do u manage to ride in the woods with that-with such a huge powerband and always coming up on one wheel?

 

I don't really ride it in the woods. That is what my 450R is for. I used to live in AZ and CA where I did desert races. That is where that gets used. We still do an annual trip to Mexico and that is when I really get to open it up. Outside of San Felipe, Baja Mexico there is a huge dry lake bed, it's part of the BAJA 1000 course, that is where a buddy clocked me with a radar gun at 113mph and my GPS said 112.9mph. I wish I had video of it.

Here is a pic of my 450R.

 

yea the 500s have a lot of bottom end when u ride one u cant ride it like a cr250 or something most of them make a alot of bottom and mid end power then flatten out on the top, which means you gotta basically short shift it but u wont understand unless u ride one they have so much power, they hammer through gears very quickly, when my dad raced his you didnt even hear it rev that much it just flew throught gears so fast and before you know it your doing like 100 mph and if your not ready for it it will scare the crap out of you, my dad messed his knees up bad on his so he doesnt ride anymore unfortunately

 

That's the special edition 07 er right?
