Thoughts on 1993 CR500

[barty5]

Needs top end done has heap spares ????

would guess its earlier, maybe a 1991, wont be much mechanically different, 93 was the first of the flo red (and that year it was all but pink) bikes, pretty sure they had white tanksin 93 as well,

if its the right money to get up to spec it could be a go, 500's were never sold in big numbers so tend to hold their value,

Looks more like a 88-91 , motors changed little through the years just got softer and more user friendly.
93 was the first year of the white tanks, nuclear red/pink plastics etc think the graffix went 93 white, 94 blue, 95 yellow, 96 purple.
I think the 500s still ran 18's on the rear through the years also, have ridden a few great bikes just a shame the frames didn't get updated more.

You could always have a play at shoehorning it into a CR250 frame one day

Judging by the number plates its a 89, magnesium water pump rots out if it still has the original, close ratio gears, plastics are hard to get now, best colour blood red.

do it before I cause a fight with the wife for buying it myself!

You do realize it might hurt you, firstly your leg when you try to start it and secondly your back when you flip it, thirdly your head when you over shoot the corner,

They love wide open spaces and high gearing

Would make a great beach racer. Shame I'm really quite a long way from Weston Super Mare.

Buy it and motard it, it will be a hell of a lot of fun, atleast until it kills you

Really you're asking a bike forum whether you should buy a bike - what sort of answer were you expecting?

Is this the male equivalent of-"Does my bum look big in this?"
