My new cr 500

[jeffatc250r]

Picked up this lil gem today. Been stored in a heated basement for the last 11 years. Its a 94. Starts 1-2 kicks cold, nice tight bike. The tires N rims are goin into storage and a set of supermoto 17's are goin on along with directionals, lights etc. This is gonna be my new street hooligan. Cant wait! Whats more badarse than a streeted cr500 tearing up the town? Brrrrrppppp

Id give my left nut to have a 500 thats purdy sick but id be in the sand box and track with that thing not the streets but looks good hard to come by a clean 500

[jeffatc250r]

Thanks for the comments guys. I got it for $1500, I think I did well.

Find yourself an E-Line ignition for it...2,100W leads for plenty of lighting!

That would def be the cats-azz. Ive seen a few, with a 500 dollar price tag. I may break down and get one, or a baja-designs 200watter

NICE MAN !!!!!! I've got an 88 CR 500 and love/hate it........Love to ride it but scarcs the sht out of me.....haven't rode it in a year and it's probley seen 40hrs on it in it's life time. Hang on tight cuz that will haul some serious ass!!!!!!!!

[jeffatc250r]

Haha. Im quite used to these things, first started riding them at 13 yrs old, (now 28) I always liked the look of the blood red 88'
They are fun rigs no doubt, they just need to be respected. They are only as crazy as your right hand tells them to be.

So how does that monster run? I want a A/F 500 something fierce........that looks like a prime donor!

[leviblue]

Yeh I got mine in 88 and it wasn't that it was too much there is no place to make run like it should around here. I run the piss out of his little brother 87 CR 250 though. It's just nice to sit and look at as it's still pretty but like my trike no one wants to ride it.

That's a nice, clean 500. After years of riding 250's and always wanting to go go big bore, I finally found the CR500 deal I was looking for in 2005. Here's a few pics of the 1999 I picked up for $2100. It's unrestored, all original, and still looks as good today. I usually only take it out once a year when we head to Michigan to ride the trail systems.

I've been thinking about picking one up and making a street legal one, but nice ones are hard to come by, and now that i'm getting married my fiance would KILL me

Here she be at the moment. Now sitting in my new and improved titled frame via e-bay. The rest of my stuff like plastics and street rubba should be here on tues. Cant wait to rip this pig on the road! Just gotta pretend to be nice to the dot cop that I need to stamp a form to get my street title. Hopefully he aint a douchbag like most other PIGS are. Heres how she looks at the moment.
