nice bike

[Scooter77]

Well i got my parts from service honda yesterday and got around to hooking them up. It was dark when i got it done but i got a chance to take it around the yard a few times and man does this thing rip. I know most people call them death on 2 wheels but i found it to be a nice rider. It really depends on how much throttle you give it. they ride nice and smooth if your easy on the gas. But if you hit it lol hold on to the bars for dear life. I pinned it once and it just took off in a wheelie. I think i almost left my soul behind lol. Also I know alot of people say the vibration is terrible on these but i also find that to be an over exaduration. One thing i can confirm for anyone that may be curious...They are a witch and a half to start. Overall An awsome bike that now has my vote for most bad ass production dirt machine on 2 wheels. I'll keep everyone posted. Maybe a vid to come soon.

Thats for sure... The throttle doesnt open itself like some people like to think... IMO the big-bores are easier to ride... They will lug down and tractor up anything if you can hang on...

Also I know alot of people say the vibration is terrible on these but i also find that to be an over exaduration.

They are all different... I had a '90 that hardly vibrated at all. I have ridden several other 500's... an '88, a '95, a '96, and an '01... They all had different levels of vibration... all of them worse than mine... Loose pipe and engine mounts are common causes for vibrations... But I think a majority of it has to do with the trueness of the crank... which can differ from bike to bike..
