General Comments

I have owned two KX500s. The first was a 1997 and now have had a 2001 since it was new. Both bikes were very reliable and extremely fast. I have raced it against everything from cr's yz's several ktm's, a friends old RM500, and even several street bikes that also included a ninja in a 1 block race and smoked them all easily! Oh, I also raced a thumper racing built Xr600. Bored to 660 with all their trick parts and it wouldnt keep up with my KX500 either! For the guys who say the KX500 isnt fast, try letting someone who knows what they are doing rebuild the motor!
