Isn't the price supposed to be one of the reasons why you'd buy a 2-stroke?

I recall seeing a new Service Honda CR500 advertised by a dealer in Australia for about the price of a new 4-stroke - can't see how they're justifying another ~$4000 for the Kawi.

There in lies the problem with building one of those, you have to buy & kill a kxf to create something much better. I think you'd be in a much more exclusive club if you owned the kawasaki though

Good point, wouldn't have expected the version to have been any cheaper. Only thing I could think of is freight has gone up?
