okay, its a 2005 XR 650R.

the CR 500 would have been smoked on the bottom end, but could have possibly held its own on the top end depending on gearing.

I know this because I have raced CR 500's with my 650. Sure, the CR and the XR are compairable numbers wise, and the CR is a lot lighter, but the XR's power is in the torque, and the CR's power is in the powerband where it had a 15 hp jump in ~ 1,500 rpm.

and I'm buying a '99 CR 500 in a month or so

edit: just FYI, the XR 650R wasn't put into production until 2000 or 2001, until then it was still the XR 600R

I'm partial to two stroke motocrossers myself, rode them for about 12 years, we even built our own track with double jumps, but if you're going to go 4 stroke, this is the only way to fly

fuck the 450's.

They still haven't fixed anything on the valve train, though they only suffer really bad when run in race conditions being revved to the sky for an entire moto.

and doubly fuck the shim and buckets

with just a pipes and a port job I doubt that you were pushing 70hp

1999 HONDA CR500R
It was once the king of the Open class. But then the kingdom slowly withered away. The CR500R remains as a current artifact in the fossil record, showing us how much dirt bikes have changed in 10 or so years. Compared to modern MX bike, it’s cumbersome and sometimes scary. At least it’s less of a brute than the KX500. The one area where 500cc two-strokes still have a place is in the desert and going up steep, sandy hills. Tested in the April 1999 issue.
TEST BIKE WEIGHT: 233 lb.
PEAK HORSEPOWER: 56 hp @ 5800 rpm

I'm still waiting for you to produce a dyno sheet of a ported 500 pushing 70hp to the rear wheel. Then, and only then, will I believe you.

meddle · #6 03-03-2006, 07:32 PM

Yea, but your FD is still a slow bucket.

You'd have to be man enough to bring your pille to a track first.

LOL

you're a joke....really

come on out to VIR, where I would lap you so fast your head would spin, on the R1 or in FD

If he was a coon then wouldn't he be black? We all know that Meddle isn't black

How about you go to the drag strip with him then he races the FD at VIR? Then everyone is happy

Mark why would I take my hoosier QT and skinnies car to VIR? Why don't you post videos of your car @ the track pulling bus lengths on anyone who lines up? You already posted that you eat mustangs for lunch. Lets see what your PFC/stock turbo shitbox combo can do. Your car is a fucking joke. High school kids run better FD setups than you. I've got a t2 parked here righyt now that will eat your playskool car for lunch on the wastegate.

It's only a mindless straight line to an internet bench racer such as yourself. Again, post vids of you dominating at the track this summer. I want to see you put your stock ass FD on the bumper.

Isn't there something in the Bible about constant bragging?
