Man, this brings me back so many good memories from the late 70's and early 80's. There is nothing like a 2-stroke engine. Gotta love that rabid sound, and that instant gratification.

Two stroke hater I suppose? I think the 500cc. 2-strokes are the best off-road bikes made!

[@jeffflick2573]

@@barsaf9989 I think it sounds good also. Sorry for my misunderstanding of your comment. A lot of 4-stroke riders I know & ride with often make comments about 2-strokes sound like a big garbage bag with empty beer cans being shaken profusely. I ride a older 2011 ktm-300xc 2-stroke so riding with mostly 4-stroke riders I hear alot of negative comments about 2-strokes.

@@jeffflick2573 nbd. I see how my comment can seem sarcastic. My riding buddies like both 2 and 4 stroke bikes haha. Both have advantages and disadvantages.

[@jeffflick2573]

@@barsaf9989 I agree and truthfully I've owned and love both 2 & 4 strokes. I ride alot of single track in the mountains and for that I prefer a 2 stroke. My next bike will be a street & trail 500cc 4-stroke. I love to ride either one.

Im nearly 50yrs old i owned a few cr500s when i was a teenager and mates had them also and kx500 since then ive owned always bigbores i currently have kx450 and ktm 500 exc as much as i love the old 500 2strokes people who think there are faster than the new 450s are kidding themselves in saying that i still have been on the look out for a decent rolling chassis to build 1 of these myself ,the best 1 of these ive seen is a fuel injected cr500 in ktm chassis i think it was a new zealand company ,this build is a nice 1 also.

Do a full comparison to a modern 450!!!!!!!! Id love to see how it stacks up!!!!!!

[@vetb882]

It's faster but harder to ride. 2 strokes ya gotta man dafkk up. 4 chokes throw y6 further over jumps, but they don't register how fast your going into your bushing you ass, I mean all the way to the top pro levels, never mind us Amateurs. 2 strokes SCARE the shht out of you and FORCE you to pay attention and be on your game or it will spit you on your head. These bikes should be able to run in the MX1 class, displacement to displacement. 250 vs 250, 450 vs 500

[@mxgryan]

450 would thrash it

[@Wide000]

The 450 is just more rideable, smoother, more tractable, will not waste you as much and will do better consistent laptimes. Both are more capable than the vast majority of riders can handle anyway.

[@codenamenoob4973]

450s are faster but some would argue the person on the 2 stroke is having more fun 😉

Watch all you want, but you must first ride upon the the beast to appreciate it. It lives for Forth/Fourth. A modern Two-Stroke 500 should just be required to have an "Auto - Fourth" Transmission. Zero to eighty, instantly! Just add throttle. BRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Built for him to Compete in the 500 MX World Championship, I always wondered why didn't Kawasaki Upgrade their Awesome Powerhouse 500 with the Awesome 250 Steel Perimeter Frame, Kawasaki was 10yrs Ahead of the Game with the Perimeter Frame Design, It Instantly made the Opposition Bikes Look Dated Overnight when the 1990 KX250 was Launched, I owned a '91 Model 'Green Meanie' with Blue Anodised USD Forks, It Looked Bad-Ass then as it Still does Today Imho!! -Cheers 😉👍🇦🇺

How fast does it climb the big hills of Glenn Helen Raceway, or your usual test track, compared to a modern day 450 4 stroke? BTW, I used to ride the 1990's versions of CR500 and they were beasts! At the time, I preferred the CR250's. However, a modern one might be tempting.
