Hi Guys, I have been lurking for some time now. My history reads like a lot of older guys. I started as a little kid on a Honda mini trail and spent the next
45 years of my life between street and dirt. I have lost the itch for the street completely and just ride dirt
anymore.
My bike is a SXF 450 with a 1999 KX500 motor. Wish I had built it but it would not be true. I actually bought it from a guy and just kept personalizing it for my taste. Riding here in Arizona and loving it. If you are interested in video of a slow guy with lots of wheel spin search utube for KTX500.
Looking forward to some conversation.

Appreciate the comment. The engine is stock except for a flywheel weight. The flywheel weight can make it feel kind of lazy IMHO if that is possible for a 500.
It still is more fun to ride than the last big bore I had in 1985 which was a modded 1983 IT490 which was a hand full.
Its all perspective but the KX motor appeals to me.
