Yes, cool. But heavy for the power they made. And didn't make much power for the fuel they DRINK.

Ask carnivore, he owned an RD500.

Personally I'd get another CR500 and 'motard it. Got some performance to back up the stupidity then.

Yeah. Give me £2k, an SV and a motor and I'll figure it out.

With a bit of tuning you can see 120bhp... Id say thats reasonable

ah, to own a two stroke. my dad said he wanted a two-stroke earlier....then i reminded him of the 10,000 mile piston change.

Hmm

whats more hassle...a piston change every 10k, or valve clearence check every 15k

hmm

well

Thats the idea of a 2 stroke isnt it? Peaky mental machine? A 350LC making 120BHP? Dang.
