The KX is a frame-up resto that I'm still dialing in. Getting close to where I want it to be :mrgreen:

hey, is that the KX500 that Ronnie Lechin tested a few issues ago???

Awesome collection of bikes Motorrad. Wow.
Yes, that is the bike that Ronnie tested for DR. I put it away for about a year because I was pretty bummed with how the article turned out. Bike wasn't ready, and we were committed/rushed to deadline. It needed a lot more time/testing. had a few setbacks and frankly the bike just wasn't very good at that time. But I've figured some things out in the last few months and I'm excited to try to go racing again on it. Last Friday, in my last session out on the track, they had just watered and I had a great session. It gave me hope!
USMC, the Buell pic is Horsethief Mile (?) and the RMZ pic is out in the dirt somewhere near that too. It was spring, tore up some flowers that day.

I was beyond pissed reading the article.....infact I think I blasted the article here on the site saying that they should have put ronnie on my bike......I know that the k5 in the test was not ready and it wasn't really a fair comparison......Hard to have a good test with a bike running decade old crank seals.......
I never rode horsethief......I've only been at Streets and the big track......I've done Buttonwillow, Laguna and Fontana.....I wanna go run Chuckwalla sometime.
