CR500 Being Thrashed

[Tahitian_Red]

Someone forgot to tell this kid you can not ride a 500 like it was a 125.

He does slow down a bit at the end.

Reminded me of Hoony on his 500

Not sure if he slowed down at the end or they just started showing more slower sections, tighter corners and whoops etc.

I wonder how it would go if someone produced a modern 450 2 stroke and took it to the 450 class?

Traction is where the 4T's have an advantage. As where 250 two and four strokes race togther the two stroke have a clear power advantage but don't win all the races.

Funny Geoff , lately I have been wearing out pilot jets as I dont get it past idle.

The 500's have always been described as a fearsome bike, but clearly the top riders like in the old days can throw them around like a 125

If I new how to post photo's I would show you pics of myself fanning the clutch to kane a CR500 get going in a turn.
Jeff Leisk would be fanning the clutch were most were braking to get the 500 hooked up, once used to it, it is not hard and unless your on a hotted up Service Honda it is not that hard.
Mind you if your on a 500RF raise the exhaust and hog out the Boysen ports to spread the mid range or you will suffer after 5 minutes.

open class bikes there is nothing better than a big banger 2 stroke. 500cc is the class and the unlimited bikes of today are Gay.

He's definitely not scared of reving the shit out that's for sure....
