What's to stop you putting a CR500 in an XR500 frame and motarding and registering it?

go and get yourself a 650 husaberg motard ,6k with brembos, white power shocks the lot
There's always the KTM 640 SM for less than $5000 or a 690 SM for around $7000.
I can personaly vouch for the 690 SM. Owned mine for 3 years and quicker through the twisties than my ZX10.
White Power suspension, Brembo brakes, chrome moly frame, bullet proof motor, fuel injection and slipper clutch.

But what I heard was that they got rid of all the people as well.
So you don't wanna buy my 640SM then pete?
It's got a flatslide and properly done suspension, and a fugging loud titanium R6 can on it
more titanium than my bike
Well,thats bullshit Pete. If they are so gutless and shit,why did you own a few?? I've had a few KTMs and Husabergs, and even an Aprilia SXV550SM. In a few drag races,and 2nd gear roll ons, a KTM625SMC and KTM640SM(this had a modded up carb,but still the standard CV one),was about half a bike length behind me on my motarded Berg 550,which was bout a half a bike length behing a Factory Berg 650 Motard.
We swapped bikes afew times,and the results pretty much the same.
The 520s/525s/530s are fuck all slower than the 625/640,until you get to speeds abouve 160 or so.
I've also had a Superduke(check out my avatar)and the only place it had it over a 625SMC was down the straight at Eastern Creek.
Roll on drags,there was nothing in it,hard to compare on the track coz i was a faster rider than my mate,but running the same pace as him thru the corners,we were neck and neck to the next corner,and all the SD had over the 625 was 15-18kph extra at the end of the straight!! 218kph top speed vs 200 on the SMC.
A D grader in the BEARS clubs was doing same laptimes on both bikes...around 1.49s,afew years ago now.
Whats funny??? When did Honda ever own WP?
Im sure Yamaha majority owns Ohlins........so funny ey?
(tho,i think they sold back out and Ohlins isn't owned/run by Yamaha anymore,not sure,i dont know everything like some on here)
XR250 All The Way Baby...slow and steady wins the race boys lol..
KTM ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SHIT , plus if i didnt own one i wouldnt be able to give an account of what kind of crap rubbish and shit they are ,
not a new invention but KTM are trying to improve
KTM,s other invention
You're a cockhead. I've had more than you,and never had an issue with any of them.
Must be down to the rider I guess!
I guess it must also be a secret between you and Honda about their ownership of WP???
Talk about shit you actually know about and stop talking shit.
You post,for posts sake.
Isnt you suzzy playyin up at the moment pete
Cheers Matt
I hate being bipolar, its awesome!
Definitely stayin out of this one. And then the argument started.
This should get the 'tard treatment......
Nah,it's not playing up,just all the things he's touched on it are.Isnt you suzzy playyin up at the moment pete
Bergs were always known to be a grenade,wasn't til about 07 when it started to get better.
They were blowing bottom ends everywhere,starter motors were total shit,&the BEARS guys could barely get afew races out of them before a complete rebuild was needed,tho the 625/640 katos were known to do seasons without much more than oil and valve clearances.
I think KTM were always involved in some small way or another with Husaberg,and their reliability didn't improve til KTM pretty much started to build 'em for them. Lucky the blue KTMs are heaps more reliable than the orange ones...ey?
I stand by my original statement,& yes, Pete's still talking bullshit!
For anyone to say any of these types of bikes are pieces of shit,coz pf brand name has his fuckin head in the sand....every one of the modern high performance 4 bangers has gone thru valve issues etc,but for Pete to think he's a fucking expert on everything,and say its just the KTMs is fucking ridiculous! I've know of afew 520/525s that get ridden hard by guys that actually know how to ride,for 10000ks,with not much more than the basic servicing any brand of this type of bike would need.
