lol you will get all kinda of odd looks, it's really quite cool. been racin mine in mran this year and every race (me being only 20) these older guys will walk up to me and start talking about how they used to have one in the 80's, really interesting hearing other peoples stories from before my time. Then you get all the younger gen 4 stroke guys that come up after the race surprised on how you got the hole shot on a bomb start in a gravel pit lol...

Sideplater:
Just remember to short shift the 5 Honey and keep in it in the torque band, save the power for the straights and your brakes aren't as good as some of the other guys out there. Have fun  :evil:

well it was 1 1/2 hr race through the woods that was nothing but pure red clay slop.. i pulled the holeshot on everyone and lead the race for about 40mins until my arms tightend up on me and i started making a few mistakes.. over all i ended up 5th out of about 30 riders...I deff had a good time and learned a few things to make the next race better for me and hope to run again in 2 more weeks....

not bad for my first race ever in my life..

i did have lots of people come up and ask me about the bike and some even said i was crazy to be riding it... i just laughed them off and said SHES deff a fun ride..

ID KX500:
Congrats on the holeshot,,,that is what the 500 is definitely good at,,,,5th over all is good 

sandblaster:
Nice!
It's always good to see a bike that was designed 25 years ago stomp on modern tech  :-D
