I don't think I will ever sell my KX500. I would like to have 3,1 for sand, 1 for dirt/motocross/hill climb, and 1 street legal supermoto. That should do it.

Here on the east coast, we are whimps. All tracks are SMALL. Areas are small. My 250 is too much for them. The only place my 500 can thrive is on the dragstrip which is sand. I hate to say it, but it is pretty much worthless for the rest.
But, it would be a nice thought to have enough space to run a 500 open on a track/dune area. Just a dream.
Danger4u2:
I know what you mean about small areas. My track behind the house is on 14 acres. Now that I have my jetting right, I can't get out of 3 gear. On the straight away I have to shut it down before I wind out 3rd gear or I'll be swimming in the creek. When I want to open it up we ride along side and in the North Canadian river. This link shows our riding area, it's not up to date because it doesn't show all the trails we have made. Also the river is full of water, most the time it's only 3 to 12 inches deep and winds back and forth across the river bed like a small creek. The dirt road along side the river is 5 miles long, lots of room to go WFO or WOT.

You can open it up at Little Saraha Oklahoma.

As far as what a KX500 is worth, it's the old saying,"It's worth what ever you can get out of it". To me it seems like they don't bring big money on ebay. The KX500's that are in good shape don't meet the reserve. As soon as I get some extra money together I'll buy one of those " I like the bike but it's to FAST for me, so I'm selling it".
Here is a quote from a guy with a KX500 on ebay right now "I bought this last year and am selling this because it is not the best bike for me to use to ride with my kids and their little 80cc quad. Also my wife wants a new kitchen floor and this will my floor money". I've seen alot of statements on ebay like this.

Yeah mine worth gold to me and i will never sell it,i was just curious as to why the "so called value" off that jack up site was so low,i could have imported 2 more and had danger4u2's idea :-D.
openclass:
if your riding (racing in the middle of the country) most of the guys who cut trails are riding smaller bikes and looking for obstacles to keep there intertested in riding loop after loop on the same trail. I raced my k5 for 7 years and there was only two places (races) that i could use the kx to its potental.Both places don't have races any more.
