500AF Pics
Neilios:
It's nice to see the old next to the new.
I am doing a similar think with the CR500 and CRF, a they are move plentiful at the moment.
I will probably do a KLX next to go with my 1991 KX500.

The handling advantages are so great with a modern chassis it easily trumps any and all motor work. Little a matter of opinion as much as tested and trued fact by AF rides every weekend. Unless drag racing is the argument, a well balanced nimble chassis is going to leave a 70hp motor well behind in it's dust. I'm the owner of a KX500 and CR500AF and I'll say my worked over KX has got a faster motor but the CR is a much faster bike.
Neilios:
I have a 1995 CR500 which is currently transforming into an Af using a 2004 CRF rolling frame but the KX500 pitcured above is more powerful and with modern suspension and ohlins it handles and stops well. I like the 2 stokes more than my 450's!!!!

I got my KXF450 roller to build my KX500AF! :-D
