Up to the usual outstanding standard Ted. I agree with all of the others who reckon that those eighties KXs reek of 'works bike'. I've been playing with the idea of getting a CR500 for quite a while now but every time I see one of these things I change my mind. :-\
It looks like you'll now have to get a CR500 and an RM500 to make up the set Teddy! ;D

Firko I agree - I love my Hondas but unfortunately a CR500 wont make much difference to where I place - thought I might do something different from all the front runners........................so I am looking for a KX500 instead of a CR - I reckon they look great to!

CMD I was going to give you a whipping for deserting Team Red via mooting buying a KX, but given our new found 'gang' affiliation I shall pull the uppercut :-* :-*

Hilly...Both are very fast. But i think the way the 465 is set up it is a bit more tractable.The KX feels lighter and smaller though and has better brakes. But for fun factor i`ll take the 125 anytime.

Hi mate who built the pipe on your KX & how much $, it looks like a GMC pipe. Real nice bike must owe you lots.
I'm sure I've seen you at Louee on it carving up all the young dudes on their moderns and I have been told
you nail the 130' table top. Got any action shots of you on it?

Nah mate, No Chevy pipes here. This one is the real deal. Me and me mate made it from some left over chimney flue he had after he burnt his house to the ground. He figured he wouldn`t be needing a fireplace in the next joint. He went onto FaceSpace and typed in rad and gnarly and got the design.He says it comes with 2 power bands.

Owe me lots...pffft.
The clown i practically stole it off doesn`t know jack shit when it comes to motosickles. His interior designer boyfriend told him a green bike in the back of his truck wasn`t a good look....burnt orange was way cooler.

Yep that was me clearing the table top at Louee. Pity you didn`t witness it first hand. But i won`t be doing it again `cos i cleared it by that much i landed on the start line on the thumper track and had to go and win that race as well. Took me ages to get back to my esky for another cold beer and a smoke

Can`t get action shots `cos the new pipe generates that much roost that it looks like i`m inside a tornado. Here to race...yep
