I Rode a KX 500 for years, and I’m sorry I don’t still have it! It was a blast. Better bottom end and revs out farther, which is why it won so many Baja’s, Enduros, and Hill climbs! I used to whoop on the XR600’s and XR650’s, oh and whoop on the banshees in the sand. I never really had the opportunity to whoop on the CR500… The only bad thing: You go through the back tires in 1/2 a day of hard riding, lol
