might(lol) be a dumb ass idea

Been looking around to find some REAL Motorcross bike to replace my dt like a CR250 and have found a CR500 for under 2k, loads work, fully road legal and well probly a tad over 33bhp

Long story short i can get any wacky shape washers i want made and well could i have this damb rude supermoto??????

i know it would be alot of effort.

i know the insurance quote on a yz250 wasnt that bad

There's various supermoto'd cr500 on sale at fairly reasonable prices usually.. *but* are you willing to carry out regular rebuilds? (every 1000 miles-ish I believe)
I have been looking at that sort of thing as a second bike and the best bet seems to be the CRM250 (not CR250) this is made as a road legal version, only needs a rebuild every 13,000 miles-ish but still has pretty much the same power as the CR250 and is allmost as light.

Have you ridden a 'proper' 250/500 MX bike.. the power is quite ridiculous compared to a dt... it's not turn the throttle to go in first (with offroad gearing anyway)... but select the height of the front wheel in the air.... can be a bit much if you're not used to that sort of thing.

I relise it will be a tad nor scary than my dt but wyn is stupid pwer as well nothing untill 8000 and then a told on tight and change gear as fast as possible!!!

been ona 125yz and a rm250 (bit nackerd) but the thing is on road can use alot more power. Off road u can go far to fast far to quickly even with myn!!!

its either this or i get some monster 4 stroke crosser ie cr450 and thats going to hurt the wallet alot more

seen yz250 as low as 1k resonable but again they will not do the 27k thats on my dt.

IT's not the power I'd be worried about... providing you use it sensibly to start with, it's the time and money in regular rebuilds that would get annoying.

I wouldn't bother going straight to the cr500 mate, they're supposed to be absolutely vicious b*stards of bikes.

Apparntly, with some serious tuning you can get 105hp out of them... pretty impressive from a 500cc single.

I wouldn't fancy riding one of them offroad! Pretty impressive power to weight ratio - 105bhp with a 101kg dry weight.
