I always wanted to take a CR 500 and make it street legal or almost, Put 17
inch r compound street tires and maybe a little engine work port and polish
and a bigger and better carb and a higher Flo pipe, Try to keep the HP up and
the weight down.
YThis would be a real fun bike around town...............................

A magazine or at least a magazine featured exactly this about 8 years ago.
It was a then-new CR500 that was given only street tires and different
gearing. It literally tore apart sport bikes and it's biggest problem was
keeping the nose down. In that same article they tested several dirt bikes
(on knobbies) at a drag strip against street bikes. The results were
somewhat surprising to the street bike crowd. They lost to 50 across the
board to the dirt bikes! After that the street gearing/set-up took over and
they smoked the dirtbikes.

Check out Motomorphic.com they've got a street legal CR500 for sale, looks
scary and I'd be in jail for sure with it.

druuuuuueeeeeeeelllll... Nope Darrick. I think your wrong. I wouldn't go to
jail. They would have to catch me to put me in jail. I just don't think
they could.
Not alive anyway. :~)

Except for the fact you have no range, have to take 2smoke oil
every where you go, need a kick stand , must constantly screw with the
jetting , if you stall at a light kick kick kick, and on and on and on
I have a friend who is currently using his kx500 as a road mount and
he calls me bitching about jetting woes quite frequently.
On the same subject - Gas Gas is selling a 250 2 stroke dual
purpose motorcycle ( yes street legal) that weighs 198 lbs and sells
for $4600 u.s. dollars. This might be the one !
