Yep both bikes are keepers,the 07 is a pleasure to ride and set the standard for me, people told me you don't need that shit on it, only the good riders do.
I tell you when the front end starts to slide, then the rear goes and your holding on waiting, and it hooks up, those words always come back to me.I'm an average rider, it gives me time and helps with the mistakes.
I just have the chance to build a bike that I want. Once this ones finished I'm gonna street legal the 07, I have a lighting kit and sussed a battery.

Tank arrived today, colour looks a bit off but is blood red, get some better ones when I can. Found some blood red plastics, going for the 88-89 cr500 look.

25th October 2012, 13:21

Did they make cr500's before '86? Would be a crazy learners bike (if I remember rightly all bikes under 660cc older than 86 are LAMs approved?)

Boo

26th October 2012, 09:42

They have to be road legal first, an 85cr500 was never road legal.

humphrt

27th October 2012, 14:43

Has to be under 150kw/tonne. Cr500 is way over that

Boo

27th October 2012, 21:21

Actually, there was a model that was road legal, a company called CRE engineeriing complied 250 2001 cr500's and sold them on australian market. These were the last of the cr500's. All of them were complied to world standard compliance and have a compliance plate referring to that standard, in that data base wherever that is. A number of them were brought off shore, mostly the states, all have flown though compliance standards without a hitch.They are one of the most sort after model and can fetch $8500 AUS for a rough one to $1100 for a minter, if you can find one.However that does not count as its a 2001 cr500 and not an 85 cr500.
However that compliance could be very useful if say you wanted to comply an AF conversation.As it states a CRE500 had 35hp!. This was bacause they had to restrict it to make the noise regulations, most who brought them took them off afterwards and run an aftermarket.
So I figure if I was to comply an AF I could use that as a reference as to rated HP. I would have to restrict it make the noise check, it'll run like shit but as the previous have done I would too.
In light of the inspector that comes to look at it, he wont be so hard to please if its got 35hp and not 65hp. Not that my conversation wouldn't hold up to it but why push your luck.
So you can't ride it on a L plate, but you maybe able to get an AF road legal .

90hp!!! you know thats alot of boogie, hopefully he will do well. Right out of my comfort zone. Bring on the 4t!!! I don't know what would put out that sort hp, Aprilia are 75hp uncorked I think, TM SMR 560 are about the same I think.

Nice and lite - remember when first got my dirty 5 and after a sharp right angle turn onto another single track
ended up with the bike and me on one hell of an angle - right shoulder was ready to kiss the dirt - twisted the throttle
and the K5 stood up in yacht like fashion to carry on without incident - Magic ! Cubes Cubes Cubes ..... !

Where do you get the 500 motors? Was thinking of stashing one away for if my 450 goes kaput?

Just do what I did to get my hands on a KX500 engine. Buy a whole bike via ebay, then ask them to pull the motor and send it to you. Tell them they can sell the rest off for their troubles. I needed an 85 KX500 donk as a donor for my SR500. The whole bike cost me $550.00, he did the work for my idea. 86 onwards are KIPS equipped and the go.

Boo

26th November 2012, 21:18

Thanks, I like the old school cr500's, 85-88. My 07 is going to have the bailey look, the tank is a little darker orange.
The 11 is going to look like the works 89 cr500 the plastics are not the blood red and i'm going to put graphics on them.
Looking forward to getting them on.

Hi there' are these 2 bikes down in Morrinsville at the moment? Saw some there yesterday while a friend got a seat redone and had to resist the urge to take one and leave my DRZ in it's placed

Very nice! .

Yes Rodger was fitting new seat covers got them back and pleased with how they turned out. Pics soon. They do look better in the flesh though.

Thought you may like a perv at these bits seeing as you're in to 500cc smoker trickness. My SR500 factory bike. Billet forks...hand made triples (hollow tube), sand cast cases and magnesium hubs with titanium fittings etc...

He does nice work that guy ... friend was getting his Hornet seat redone, looks great! Nice ride down there as well, if a bit windy.

How is the fuel injection going on the CR500 ?

Very nice man, as I said, you got to do a post on it, stopped teesing me with your shit and do the whole thing, would love to see it. That triple is amazing,how is the bike going
By the way I saw that pic of yours, thats a pretty mean roost on a 30year old bike.
I love the old school, but admission is steep and yes I'd be looking for factory stuff if I went that way. Would be scared to crash it, hope you don't live up to your name.:laugh:

Yes Rodger has been doing them for along time and has done alot of top bikes up this way, he is a pretty good rider.

Been in contact with Mark, still building his bike so he can fine tune the EFI, on the dyno they have at his work. The more dyno time he does there the better for me.

Nah waiting for the EFI to be finished just about to put it in the shed now, not much to do accept wait. I do ride on Saturdays, go past the Cock N Bull second on the right, you'll find me Hooning around there from 5pm until it gets dark. Won't be their for two weeks I'm away on holiday.

Nice to see the factory stuff from Kawasaki back then and the $$ it must have cost to produce

I'm interested in how much of that technology made it through to the production models though ...?

My guess is probably not a lot, at least my cat likes it ....

Fark. I rode Mannys way back in the day - that may have even been prior to it being a 555.. Jumped back onto the 450 after and it was like riding a lazy old lounge chair in comparison... Shit that's a long time ago now...
