I suppose I would. On the other hand I can stay up front all day aboard my CR. However the KX is quite the dune bike. Maybe one day we can go head to head on our green machines? But my 500s are two different bikes, different colors, and seperate purposes.

Hehehe.... ahhh turning green with envy and red with anger! :roll: Nice bikes bro... that KX is a bit old for the track though, no wonder your CR feels better.
I am not sure of too many people that ran CR or KX 5's on MX tracks, either in the past or present... not the arena for these bikes and if they did it was the minority. Open desert/sand/hill climbing are their forte' it seems to me?? Or am I wrong??
I still am from the belief that the rider still seperates the bikes and the talk.... one of my friends recently schooled me at Dumont Sand Dunes with his '00 YZ250 and me on my '00 KX5. This was close/tight MX style sand track riding and he is alot smaller/lighter than me... better rider on a smaller bike in its environment = me eating some roost....
Meaning?? If I could get my KX to make 100HP with the trickest powervalve system I should beat him.... don't think so...
KX has a nicer seat and a powervalve - CR has a decent seat and no powervalve but better geometry
I'm a better rider than you... he is a better rider than me... any pro is better than us all...
By the way, I have one of each as well...

It's just that I'm a moderately competitive MXer, and you can't stay up front at the track these days aboard a KX500.

Fact is you really can't stay up front on a perimeter framed 500 either, the new 450's will walk them on the track, doesn't matter whether red or green. You may get the holeshot, and hold on for a few laps, the 500's are to brutal for the track. The only Hondas I own are pit bikes, the rest are all green, they rip.

An aluminum frame doesn't automatically make you faster, I'm on my fourth generation perimeter framed 500, and I think the 05 250f is one of the sweetest handling bikes.
Here's my Aluminum framed 500, I bet I have alot less money in mine than you do. to insinuate that your Service Honda 500 is automatically better than the K5's on this site is a bunch of bull sh*t. Don't get me wrong, you have a nice bike but it's not all that.

That has got to be one of the sweetest looking green machines ever... How do the vibes in a AL frame compare to those of a steel framed bike?

So you are just some wanabe Kx rider and your here talking s**t to me :x Maybe you should concider posting when you have something useful to tell us about.

NO i was not talking s**t... I was simply calling bull s**t on your exagerated statements... I had the money one day too late... I guess living from paycheck to paycheck means I know nothing about bikes? And my KX powered machines are atvs... What do they have to do with my previously owned CR500? or yours? Does bashing my credibility in any way validate your BS posts? Since you are so desparate for something to post, why dont you just start a CR500 bashing thread?
