I had a boost bottle on mine and the throttle response was crisp. Plenty of power. A good rider on one today could go head to head with any 450F. croom mx wrote: I had the 465, excellent rear suspension. I had a boost bottle on mine and the throttle response was crisp.

I'm still looking for an original '84.....so blue frame, aluminum silencer, and RM500 on the seat. I don't really want to turn an '83 into an '84 unless I have to. Funny how the one thing everyone remembers was the rear suspension. Most of the bike was pretty old tech even when new......but that rear end made up for it......almost!!
