Thanks! bye
The sheer thrust of a 500 2 stroke becomes addicting once you learn to not be scared silly by it.

My first 500 motocross bike was a KX500, and the power was smooth, but damn it was almost overwhelming.....problem was this.
Once I had the bike for about 2 weeks, I wsa so spoiled by the ease to climb up, or go ovver anything because it was a beast, nothing else seemed fun to ride anymore.

I guess if i did drugs it might be a bit like that.....once you are used to this drug ( it being the 500) its hard to say no, and stop.

My KX250 has lots of go fast goodies on it, and will crush a slow 450 4 stroke motocrosser....but i still long for another 500 2 stroker, and to do it up so its got more than stock power even.
