Kawasaki KX500 2-Stroke VS KX450F 4-Stroke
Dutch-K5 Fan:
Great to see, only I have my questions about his awnser.
Ofcourse he can not say that a bike of minimal 10(or 25) years old is better than what you buy new from Kawasaki.
Don't know if Destry still fully rides for Kawasaki, but Saying your (old) boss gives you a "bad"bike.
For my self, I think I'm faster on a 2T 250 or a 4t 450 on smaller mx tracks. Like Sandblaster says, I like the
INTIMIDATION of a 2T 500 :-D

Yep. Staying with the 500. Went to a trail ride on the weekend and was the only 500 there in amongst 500+ bikes. It turned some heads. Not many left in oz, especially in Queensland.
Got some video footage I will post soon. Love my 500.

I'm sure destry still get "some" free b's from kawi for as long as hes been with them, or at least huge discounts. (or he wouldn't be on a jap bike for EX) With kawi not making two strokes and two strokes making a come back, I could see how kawi would want him to favor the 450...
Or he could actually like the 4 :evil: humper better, they are easy to ride.
Pmcg:
When I was younger my Dad and I restored a 1966 corvette. It had the 427 and was an absolute animal to drive. Today's corvettes are faster everywhere but not nearly as much fun. I feel like the 500 is the same thing. Destry probably is faster on the 450 but nothing touches the 500 in the animalistic fun department.
Foxx4Beaver:
I just straight up hate everything about 4T's....the obnoxious noise they make is the #1 thing I hate most...I have absolutely no desire to ride something that sounds like a lawnmower with no muffler, besides my lawnmower with no muffler :-P
don't even ask my opinion on those H-D toilets.
