dans89kx500:
Yesterday I brought my KX500 to a local bike shop to have some work done. And the owner of the shop had such a bad opinion of the KX500 he would ask me "why do you own this bike" "this bike is suicide" "I hate riding these things." I just told him it is fun bike to ride................Anyway, this isn't the first time I've heard this about the KX500 or CR500 and other open class bikes.
Its like if you own any two stroke bike bigger than 250cc, all you hear is crap. Anyway, it really doesn't matter to me. Do you guys heard similar stuff?

thats a great reason to hoop up a kx 500 becuse people think they are to fast stock

KXcam22:
Generally I find that people who have a poor opinion of 500 2-strokes are people who can't ride.  They always fear what they can't handle.  I have ridden 500s since I was 16.  The KX is a reliable pussycat. Cam.

BDI:
I can sum It up with three words, He's a pussy :-D

When people see my K5 I always get "Wow a KX500 cool, can I ride it"?   And I always say "Sure no problem I won't be riding it when Hell freezes over and you can ride it then".
