CR500 horsepower

So much of the desert looks like that, but I would have guessed somewhere between Randsburg and Ridgecrest if I had to. You can still use that area year around?

You are close. It's east of 395. But still between both of those locations.

Yes year round if you can handle the heat in the summer.

One summer I lived in Pearblossom (June to Aug 29th, 1969). I used to wear actual leather pants to ride in then. Now I realize it was sunstroke causing me to do that or else I was just too bored not to. If anyone from that era and area remembers a man named Craig Halstead, you know one of the toughest. He was in his mid 60's then, and if I wanted to ride he was on his Hodaka and ready to go. Introduced me to some of the Mulder clan.

the guy on the left..probably, the guy on the right. nope, no way, no how...he looks like he knows what he is doing.

Yeah the guy on the right had a good
Line, but the old dude on the left held his own and they reached the top side by side.

Looks like the power band got the best of the guy on the left. What bike is that anyway?

That would be a sweet demo I got to ride at Wilson's ride day.

I beleive this is only an 1/8th mile drag strip. Check out the time. That is better than some crotch rockets.

I think my WR500 is much faster than my streetbikes from 0-45mph. But once in second gear, all my streetbikes would overtake. Second gear typically touches mid 90s on stock sportbikes. -BIG DAN

You may not beleive this but, I have drag raced a couple of street bikes. Oh and I must tell you a 2009 Corvette. The harley and the vette had no chance. The only one to beat me in the race we set up was a 2009 Kawasaki 1200. This was at a 1/4 mile section of road. I should have video teped them. The guy in the Vette was so imbarrest it was funny. He got beat by a 2000 Honda CR500.

Go Melcome!!!

If only they had 500cc two stroke they could jump from the jump to the corner..

 

[hondacr500af]

rack must have been on a KX500af
cda was on a CR500af
While the both of them gained up on me and burried me in the corner. Only another 500cc two stroke can do that.

you need some auto correct....
Rack and cda run 4Ts.... more useable power to torque ratio

My lawnmower is verry usable also. Does that make it faster than my 500?

depends....when was the last time you used your 500 to mow the lawn and when was the last time you won a moto on you lawnmower?

 

[hondacr500af]

If my 500 had less torque would that make it more usable? Or is my 500cc not usable becuase the power and torque is harder hitting? If I needed to mellow the power and torque on my 500 all I would have to do is change my gearing. What do you need to do to make the 450 as fast as a 500cc?
