What’s the fastest you’ve driven?

my buddy had that same bike. we had it gps'd over 100 on the Florence beach stock with his 260lb butt on it.
He had to gear it WAY down to actually trail ride it.
I had a built CR500 at the time, I walk away from him until I ran out of gears. He'd grab 6th and go by me waving with one finger.
lol.

Was a totally different animal than my 520exc was! Seen it in the paper and I needed that 540 because more is better Didnt have the skills at the time to ride the trails with it. So I was a road rider That was a hell of a bike!

Would love to have it now. Even just to see if it was as gnarly as I remember it was.

Yall almost have me talked into a other fast dirtbike

I miss my 500 too. That thing was unreal in the dunes.

I bought a CRF450, the throttle control was so precise it was less work, plus no jetting and constant tuning so I sold the 500.
There's just something about the rough and raw power of a CR500 though.

I went to the 300 and now a 250 sherco. Both way better bikes but they arent an exciting bike..

Funnest by far is making the ktm150 go fast in the woods.

Still not the same as riding a bike you are scared of

172 top on -- 165 top out in a 01 Vette I used to own.

It isn't about speed, I loved taking her on twisties in the mountains.
