Thoughts? I doubt it's happening and I feel like there's speculation of a 2T every year...

It’s apparently so high-tech, they managed to fit 500cc in a 125cc engine...

Ha! That was good, well played. Now..... if we can just get RJ and Stanton out of retirement. Bonus points if Ward comes back and races with an open face and a Joffa.

Are you the same guy that was posting spammy articles from that same website on the /r/motocross subreddit?

Maybe I should've speculated more, but I'm at work so I don't have time to dig too deep. Not gullible if you read what is posted, and I posted it to get reactions from people regarding 2T and the big 4 Japanese brands...

Negative pork chop, I've never even seen this website before. Knew it was fake because there's no date or official press release statement from Honda PR.

Gotcha. Well I wouldn’t trust that site in regards to any moto-related news, just a site posting clickbait looking for ad revenue. The person running the site was posting their bullshit articles all over the motocross subforum on Reddit.

Right on, too good to be true once I clicked and had to get some other "lucky" vitards as well.

Yeah, I remember that guy and I remember really digging into him a few times. Did he get banned or just give up?

The people doing these fake photoshops are slowly getting better. At least this one doesn’t have a 2 stroke expansion chamber with a 4 stroke engine and muffler.

Although I’d argue that a 125 engine and exhaust pipe is just as funny considering the fact that this is supposed to be a 500. Also hilarious how the manufacturer that they chose for this fake news story and accompanying photoshop is the least likely OEM to produce a 2 stroke.

Lastly I’ll point out that the subtext under the headline is obviously written by someone who’s first language is not English. Have a read for yourself:

HONDA HAS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THE COMPLETELY NEW CR500 WITH COMPLETELY SATISFYING SPECIFICATIONS IN A LIMITED NUMBER

Pretty sure he just gave up. I think he posted something about Peick’s situation that didn’t sit right with a few people, or was just outright false, and got called out on it. We probably both ripped him in the same thread, lol

Is it that time of year already?

Seriously, there’s no way a news like that isn’t posted on reliable sources (I would even consider MXA as reliable for this kind of things) the minute it becomes official or even before. In other news, the earth is round.

I'm not going to believe it until I get my new Dirtbike Lover magazine in the mail. I think they were probably hacked.

If you wanna see some "new" 500's - there is a guy in Italy that builds/converts them (the last photo in the article is actually one of his builds)

Check out @ilrappa

I didn't make it past the first sentence.... "HONDA HAS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED THE COMPLETELY NEW CR500" on one of the sports most read online news sites: dirtbikelover.com.... sounds more like a red neck dating site to me.

Little known facts abut cr 500s..

Just opening articles with "cr 500" in the title raises testosterone levels and in some cases has increased unit size by up to 19%.

Thinking about 500 nationals while having sex makes viagra completely unnecessary.

It is completely acceptable to imagine magoo, bailey, johnson, or Stanton riding the cr 500 in your fantasy. Sharing your fantasy with your riding partner is strongly encouraged.

However it is strongly advised to think about something other than a crisply jetted 500 accelerating up a long whooped out loamy uphill at least once every 4 hours.

Your welcome

I especially like the complete lack of silencer. No need for dual just be loud and proud.

“the bike will have 92bhp and weighs 197lbs, frame 14kg lighter than the original, and a top speed of 87mph. The CR500 will be in a limited number.”

Everything checks out..
