Don't know if someone could post a link.
Set up for off road but I'd bet it would haul ass up horsepower hill.

I love my CR500. There's just something about that ridiculous amount of power and raucous power delivery! Cool video.

Dual exhaust on a 2 stroke? I'm gonna need a fluffer. That kills it for me.

What advantage would the twin pipe give? Obviously not twin port a la CZ.

Are you kidding me? It would have all the same wonderful advantages all the current Hondas enjoy with the twin pipes.

O.K. I'm sure I'll come up with something at some point.

The bike is badass!
I never questioned why women have 2 boobs, but I like them.

First thing I thought of was doubling the pain of getting dents out of chambers

See my thread about resurrecting production through a new company buying the engine production line etc. I love these.

Such a cool build completely ruined by the ridiculous dual exhaust.

The many years I raced CR500’s using 3rd gear even on tight turns with the 5hunnys torque and reving on long straights was the magic gear. The tight video sounded like it was being reved in 1st gear ...... but I could be wrong

It is just a dual silencer set up. They should reword that a bit.

I'm just guessing that they used dual silencers to matched the side panels that are "buldged" out for the dual four stroke silencers. Cool build though!

One of the latest issues was 112 pages. Pretty good, even though still alot are ads, but either way, I like the magazine more and more.

Always a cool 2 stroke on the cover.

Both of these things can be true at the same time you know. It is a sweet build, and the dual silencers are dumb as shit

Now that Service Honda is no longer in the THEE business, anyone else out there putting CR500's together?

Thanks
