LOL. 700cc? 400 was more than enough for me. :lol:

(In fact 250 probably was :D ).

If anyone can ride that and use all the oomph they're probably from a different planet to most of us!

Still, why not?

So it's a :thumbup: (but I don't want one :shock: ).

That has pain written all over it. :D

I remember year ago a mate had a CR500 and was pretty handy on the dirt. I asked him htf he manages the thing. He said,"I just pin it and hope to fuck it doesn't get grip". :lol:

That's going to be a torque monster.

I was faster on a 125 than a 250, I found 200 two strokes to be just about right for me.

My 300 is perfect. Gentle power, but plenty of grunt on full noise :obscene-birdiedoublered:

Do you ride it flat out and feel you're using all the performance?

Yup, sometimes on the big sand dunes.

I watched the youtube vid of the 'Pro rider' giving it a go and I'm guessing it's partly the track but he was saying he was using no more than half throttle and seemed to spend most of the lap in 3rd with it basically on tick over into corners.

I remember trying to ride a CR500 and trying to stop it flipping me off the back and the handlebars smashing me in the mooey! That might have anti-wheelie and traction control though. Ghey if it has! :D

Yup, sometimes on the big sand dunes.
So not really suited to a tight twisty MX track with short straights?

I like a Husaberg with a 13.8:1 compression ratio, a left foot kicker and 100 mile oil changes. I'd give it a gan.
