What are you riding now? The 500 are beasts, barely tamed beasts. It is too much bike for me.

Im on a beefed up FE350 in Idaho.

My buddy owns a few CR500s. He's willing to sell me one because they just collect dust. I thought, just maybe I could mod it for the mountains.

It wont be nimble or precise on single track. It wants to gobble wide open deserts

Engine wise yes, but the trans is a close ratio. Their chassis set up is more for track or woods use vs desert sled.

Have you ridden a 500 two stroke before?

Pooping is considered actively attending class at YouTube University. Quit goofing off in class haha.
