I'm struggling to make any of you buggers happy now... So here's another try.

I would be very, very happy to have that sat in the garage

[Taipan]

Lovely. One of the most mental bikes i've ever ridden!

[Skub]

Not fussed on the MotoX paint and red chain etc,but that just has to be a wild ride. Probably one I'd be happy to hand back while I'm still in one piece!

[Taff]

I would love to have a big 2 stroke single in the garage, like really really really love to have one.

[derek badger]

Nice one!

[lostboy]

Wow!!!! Like.

[Zimbo]

That'll probably kill you in five minutes, but what a way to go!!

[KungFooBob]

Bunch of wimps, it'll be fine, it's got a steering damper!

[Couchy]

I rode a CR500 SM when I had my KTM525, massive disappointment on tarmac tbh. It's reputation as a fearsome beast prob comes from the MX world but on tarmac and in SM format it was rubbish and slower than a 525 KTM 4 stroke single

[Scotsrich]

Only if it’s got an electric start.

I had a go on dirt on a 1987 CR500, it wasn't at all scary, it was a bit of a torque monster

[Yorick]

That looks like a sensible version of the Husky. Might be fun for short rides.

But banned here, as are all your specials

Mudguards? [X]

Fat tyres? [X]
Big brakes? [X]

Aye, go on then.

Getting 80 or so horsepower out of one is interesting mind, standard they have about the same as KX500s at 55 or so rear wheel. About 100 kilos weight mind.
I'd be interested to see where all the extra power came from cos even with a 520 kit it seems a tad optimistic?
