KX 500

Post by RoachToast »

Has the KX500 gone the way of the dodo bird? I remember when Honda announced they'd not be making the CR500 anymore. Anyone hear anything official about the KX?

You can still get a CR500 from Honda Parts. They use a CR250 aluminum perimeter frame and then stuff a 500cc engine in there.

Yeah I read that too. CRF500 vs CR500 250 frame. Sounds cool! Hey that would make a scary trail bike?!? :D

2005 CR500AF model just released.

Read all about it on the Service Honda web site. I think it is a little pricy at $8999 USD.

Here is a pic for all you big bore lovers :cool:
