[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1664639, member: 9096"] that's a 1984/85 XR500 RE, it has the RFVC engine on it, the 83 and earlier bikes were a lot more primitive, brakes weren't as good, suspension wasn't as good, etc I had a 2007 KTM 450 EXC and I hated it.. I figured 22 years of technology would have accomplished more, maybe keep all the bottom end grunt of the 500 and add some top end, Yes it had better top end but nothing even close for out-of-the-hole grunt, yeah, it was lighter, but it was terribly twitchy and felt like it wanted to go into a tankslapper at 50mph, I could have spent a bunch of money and gotten custom suspension tuning, but why, I sold it for what I paid and got another XR500.. I've had them up to nearly 100mph on dirt road and they felt nice and steady.. Was tempted to turbocharge one actually I have a 1997 XR400 and it seems like every time I fix it something else breaks.. On top of old smoky!
