to be sure that is a mans bike. a little fuel hungry though.

2rideagain:
What kind of riding do you use a 500 2 stroke for?

they are really good at tearing up tires also
and scaring the hell out of anyone

The kind of riding where you carry a spare pair of undies around!

Wow how did I miss this? Damn that is a lucky lucky man with that collection. And a 500 can be used for anything, there just heavier and take better throttle control. Th thing I like about the 500s is there a torque monster. Even on nasty hills you can fudge up and stil torque your way up, no clutch needed. I rode one from age 14 to age 18 in the tightest single track around, not the best, but I loved it, and they deystroy a berm like no other thing made.

I'm not afraid of the dark, I own the NITEMARE that lurks within.

I just posted a story on my remember when thread of a race on my RM400 Suzuki in 1987 or 1988.  Those were the days!  DC is absolutely right...

The only reason a four-stroke can beat a two-stroke is because of the double displacement advantage
