500 two-strokes and trail-rides?

[Armitage Shanks]

Been out of the loop for a year or two, got a big Green bike thats been hibernating for a while, time to get back on the track ...a Trail Ride is on the agenda.

How many KX and CR 500 riders are there still doing the business ??

Or...am I an orphan now....?

i havnt seen any out on trails in a while.... not to say theyre not out there.

even seeing 2 strokes out on trails is getting rare now.

i did another trail today on a 4t, i still dont like them.

Not quite a 500, up till a few years ago I used to take my IT400 on trail riders - used to get some funny looks and comments about its drum brakes and so on, but there were time when it left the modern stuff behind. And it always got me home.
Wish I still had it.

pretty sure i saw a KX 500 at a trail ride i did a few months ago, could have been the Waikaretu beach run?

I see them all around the place, and i know a guy who rides a cr5, your not the only one, im looking to buy either a 500 or a trx250r 2 stroke quad, or maybe even a atc250r sometime this coming dairy season as a investment/play around bike so i might even join in the fun

I've got a mate in Hamilton that regularly trail rides a KX500, and you do see a few of them and CR500's around, so not so rare as you'd think.
I've even seen quite a few CR500 engined ali frame CR250 conversions popping up too.

Don't think so, but it's been a while since I've ridden with him so who knows... :)
he did have a shaved head last time I saw him though :apint:

On that note..can't believe the guy on Trade-Me has'nt sold his 04 KX500 ...what a gem and 10 points to whoever finally picks it up. Buy it myself if I had any spare coin .....

Last of the 500's and a good price, anyone wanna lend me some money ???:Police:

Some dude passed me on his cr500's rear wheel and carried on going like that for about a kilometer on a forest track in the kaingaroa forest.
In fifth gear tapped out.Was well impressive to watch.
I wish Id had a helmet cam.
