Old Dirt Rider

Welcome...  My first bike was a 1998 Huaberg FX600 Desert 4-stroke.  My 2nd bike was a 2004 KX-500.  Primarily because I had ridden all of the other 2-strokes and 4-strokes and the KX500 was the only bike that would give me more thrill than the 600 four stroke I already owned.  However, if you're thinking about purchasing or owning a 4-stroke, they've come a long ways, as I'm sure you know.  In my humble opinion, the only 4-stroke bikes that you would be impressed with (after riding a KX500) would be any big bore European bike (KTM, Husaberg, Husqvarna) or  the CRF450 bored out to a 500.  If you're not willing to spend the money to retrofit the CRF450 (About $1k+) or drop a serious WAD on a KTM, Husaberg, or Husqvarana, I would suggest sticking with the 500 2-stroke.  Nothing beats that.  Since I've bought my '04 KX 500, my Husaberg has been rusting away in the garage.....
