Title: Pastrana racing an rm 500?
Post by: tkeen511 on September 10, 2014, 10:42:02 AM: I know were Kx riders and all, but I think just about everyone on this site appreciates the true beauty of any 500 2 stroke. http://motocross.transworld.net/1000166518/features/pastrana-red-bull-straight-rhythm/?sm_id=social_20140910_31389606

It'll be a nice side/non points even. And extra recording to add to the dvr that will keep me entertained. Nice to see something a little different format too. Can't imagine it will be too great but it involves dirt bikes so that's pretty cool I guess...

Post by: tkeen511 on September 10, 2014, 02:51:55 PM: If anything I'd say it's probably a yellow kaw. But like you said, no clear pictures. Either that or Suzuki/red bull actually went far enough out of their way to make one and only one 500cc two stroke just for him to ride this one time and a couple practice sessions.

Post by: reklessj on September 10, 2014, 03:41:34 PM: If he really wanted to be special we would have fit the LT500 motor in there. Maybe that's what it is :?

Post by: treedodgingfool on September 11, 2014, 07:33:49 AM: Looks like a CR500 motor, pretty sweet looking though I'm not an aluminum frame fan (too much feed-back off-road). I can see why he'd used a 500 2str in a newer chassis for a rythm/whoop race. Our '04 KX250/500SF conversion is to this day, the best bike I've ever ridden in the whoops. There is no wrong gear, it just goes straight and stays on-top with next to no effort.

not surprised here...Flubba's one of the fastest rhythm section guys to exist...

here's one of MANY YouTube vids of Pastrana on his CRMZ-500 that've been posted in the past few hours...note the back flip at the end!

Post by: Foxx4Beaver on December 25, 2014, 03:11:59 AM: this is gonna be aired again this Saturday(12-27-14) at 9am EST on regular NBC, for those that missed it the other day.
I just happened to stumble onto it 15min before it aired the other day, so I doubt a lot of guys saw it that want to.
