I don't think anyone here is knocking the bike itself, we just don't go around boasting how out bikes are the best bikes out there like you are doing. You're like a little rich kid who likes to prove to everyone how rich you are. Nobody cares.
Now you what me to throw you a bone? I had ridden/raced CR500s in standard and AF form. KX500s in standard, full factory and AF. KTM540 & 550. ATK640s. All air cooled and water cooled CRs and KXs. Maico 700. Are they great bikes? Yes. Am I going to or want to run out and buy one? No. Did I almost buy one a few years ago? yes. Why didn't i? Because it does not suit my riding that I do now. Would I still want one? Yes a KX500 would be sweet to have in the stable. My 93 KX500 with a motor and pipe custom built by FMF was a rocket.
So being the friendly guy I am, I'm hear to tell you that you're being a tad arrogant with the 500 posts. Maybe you need to hang out at 500af-forum.com so you guys can stroke each other's egos more.
Now you want people to ride your bike and give you an opinion? I've said it before, crate it up and send it to my house. I'll ride and give an honest ride report about it. Heck it might even come back to you with a brand new rear tire of your choice and dialed in better. Just saying.
