Do it lads, its awesome fun, even if your not that good (like me) you will still have fun. I bought a KTM sx 125 2 stroke and it is bloody awesome! Between that and a trackbike the blade hardly moves! Its hard work but it'll make you ache in places you never knew existed but fun all the same!
First ever big crosser i rode was a 1991 Ex RWJ Nick Reid CR500 (originally a Peak Honda US Factory team bike) Fucking hell, what a rush, i rode a couple of the crf250f/450f when i worked at Honda and they never felt the same lol.
Cant beat a CR500 mate .. ANIMAL !! I like the hybrids that people make . CR500 engine in a CRF450 frame . Awsome off road , even better as a supermoto !!
They norm use a cr250 frame mate, google service honda if you want to see some nice 500's service honda build NEW cr500af's (alloy frames) with all new parts they are the nuts! But not cheap. Posted on my HTC Sensation with Tapatalk
All the ones iv seen have been crf frames but they have all been home builds . I was offered a cheap 1 last year . 94 cr500 in a 450f but it was a bit rough and the guy had no history on it .. Stolen ???? looked like it
Oh I dont like stolen, I have a sign on my workshop about stolen bikes, they WILL be reported to the police if I see them, I helped to start the stolen bikes on track bust last year and hate all that! The 500 motors slip staight into af 250 frames the only problem is rad mounts and exhaust mounts its an easy mod, I have seen a few snap! I have also rode a good few, they rip! The 480 was a good bike too, I have been lucky and had a few 500,s but they are just tpo much for me Im faster on a 125! But you have to love them like we do I saw a 500af build by Honda with twin front disc years ago but dont know what the full story was about it other than it was a gift to some rider for thanks in some event.. My 480 spat a rod and split the whole engine like an earth quake had been through it! Never seen a whole engine jack its self in half just shows you can pop one big time..lol Posted on my HTC Sensation with Tapatalk
