Rode a KTM 560SMR today, and that confirms it - the torque monster racing CR500SM will be having 4-stokes for lunch it's first outing. The 500 is a BEAST by comparison.

I'm getting the ultra fat jetting under control and this thing RIPS.

Good choice on chassis. I've always thought the Gen 1 frame would be great at delivering no flex straight hook up. Just don't let it high side you. They have a tendency to do that on dirt.

Very nice.

You might want to remove that extension behind the pipe though.

I was wondering when someone would say something about that, it's out now.

Rode it today for the first real time - 2 hours. It's a RIPPER!!!

I like it alot.

chachi243 · Post by **chachi243** » May 21st, 2009, 8:44 am

its pretty fun..... you'll figure out how to wheelie off the corner while still leaned over and then leaning the other direction still in a wheelie and thedn setting it back down just in time to turn...... the CR500 supermoto is a chicane eater........on one wheel! EPIC!

Love it!

Rode it again today - she's a TIRE EATER
