    WTF with motorcycle videos and friggen music. I rarely watch anything to the end due to shit-arse music.


    Is it a iconic model of any significance? If not it's just a old tech 2001 dirter.

    If it was a old air cooled XR500 I'd be thinking - hmmm some desire here.

    Seriously.

    Well, super ghey music. . .

    Xr500 hoho! The rest of the world aren't farmers. And yes, its the roundcase 750SS of its time and genera. But more violent.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I'd still buy it....if I had the spare cash. Remember seeing at least 2 mates big flips/crashes with the cr500 on what is now supermoto wheels. Ridiculous power for Tarmac but hilarious to

    As you would ...
    Or buy a box of piss and thrash the shit out of it just what it was made for....bikes are tools, all be it , sentimental ones at times

    I'd like to see someone 'thrash the shit' out of a 500. Preserve it I say ...

    Discretion is always the better part of valour ......

    How may road races have you won on one with big gearing? And sorry you can't take a gentle ribbing and had to get nasty.

    Yeah they're quick. Been head to head with one of those many times with Craig Wilkie on board. He'd always beat me at the beach races where outright power is king, I'd always beat him road racing where power delivery was more important.
