This thing would crack 200kph. Ride them in one gear too high and brake early cause your going faster than you will realise. The higher gear helps control wheel spin. In a race wheel spin is not good. that's why I now have the gasser (almost no wheel spin) the fuel injection on the gasser is a treat too.Try a counter weight on the fly wheel on the cr. it will smooth out the hit. O yeah make sure your fully insured cause when you bite it, it will be big.You will love it for 6 mths or so, then you will prob sell it to buy a 300 2 smoke or a 450 4 st. You can ride these things harder and safer than the 500, but at the moment you will be king of the bush.....

Apparently the 05 model's have a balanced and blueprinted bottom end.I know going from a 02 520EXC to my 04 525EXC there was a big difference in how the bike rode, and especially in the smoothness of power delivery.
