[QUOTE="2smoke, post: 158428, member: 563"] After watching the beginning of the first video I found the first thing not to like about the CR500 in general. Its a bitch to start. Now if your boys had the good CR250 engine. They'd probably appreciate their bikes more. The engine Im referring to the the 01 CR250 engine. Everything Ive read about it states that the 01 is the best 2T 250 engine that Honda ever produced. I cannot compare it to the other CR 250 engines as Ive only ridden the 01. But I can attest to the fact that it makes HEAPS of power mid range to WOT. And if properly set up correctly with gearing and the FMF Gnarly head pipe. Makes a serious amount of bottom end also. Never ran it against a 500 2T. But but geared with a 48 tooth rear sprocket for top end speed its got legs. I hang with nearly any 450 wide open set that way. But she isnt just quick and fast. She handles good too. Not the same as my old RM 250. But pretty damn close. [/QUOTE]
