General Comments

I own a 2002 Kawasaki KX500. Ask old school motocrossers about the KX500. The KX500 is an awesome machine. Great for tracks or trails depending on how its setup. A bigbore 2-stroke cannot be ridden like a 4-popper. To be good on a KX500, requires throttle discipline and clutch mastery. You have to ease on the power and use the clutch as necessary to manage traction. Or you will just spin the tire or loop out. Most old timers say the best things you can do for the KX500 is setup the suspension for the riders weight, skill level, and type of riding. And, perform maintenance at the required intervals. Much cheaper to maintain then a 4-stroke, and way more power. If you want a super fun bike thats powerful, inexpensive and reliable get a KX500.
