[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 60219, member: 79"] Since I am in the market (somewhat) for a new or new'er bike I want to get some feedback from all you that currently have big bore bikes preferrably in the over 500cc range but you little 450 guys can chime in too...:smirk:....:devil:.... My story...I've had 3 big bore bikes thus far, al 4 strokes...1st one was a 1978 Yamaha TT 500 desert sled...That bike sold me on the strokers AND overall power...To this day if it'd kept running it would give any similar sized bike a good run. Second was a 85 Honda XR 600 sold me on the single shock ride but didn't have the balls the TT had...got out of riding (real stupid mistake...but that's water under the bridge) Now that I've gotten back into riding (roughly 5 years) I have an old 94 Husky WXC 610...nice ride, good power...but as most of you know I am tired of kicking the beast (El Diablo courtesy of A2) PLUS kicking ED on the left side PLUS PLUS....kicking ED on the left side when I'm flat out tired :foul:. So, here's where I'm at (I won't say quandry since I pretty much know what I want) I just want to get some in-put from you guys with BIG bikes and how you like them in relation to say a 450 or smaller...:smirk:...power, weight, and the PLATE factor where it applies...:thumb: Why I am wanting a BIG bore bike...(500cc +) is due to my current size and previous size of bikes, the power they have to haul my rather thick body around especially through Geeks favorite...washes and long up hills...PLUS they just plain haul azzzzzzzzz.
