My 89 had a blue seat. ($1200 in 2002) complete with broken rear fender. I bought it from a buddy on crutches, sold it to another buddy who ended up on crutches. I walked away with no injuries and a ton of respect for a CR500 I always did the first kick while still tied to the truck, so I could get a good angle on it with my boot.
I've had the pleasure of riding one of these the guy said if U can start it u can ride it must have been lucky cos I didn't no about the tdc procedure I thought I could just crack it open from tickover in 3rd without repercussion lol fair to say i stuck with my 90 cr 125 lol
Other than the black backing sticker on both sides the radiator shrouds, it IS a master piece!! The black style & room taking mass of it, does 'not' flow with the bike at all imo..
I've seen almost every brand of motorcycle except 1. My Dad rode an AJS motorcycle in southern California in the 50's while he raced in TT, scrambles and the half mile. Never seen one of those old Matchless motorcycles either. Just saying.

I rode my buddy's 89 back in 91. It was terrifying. Bikes with that much power give me butterflies before I go riding.

The air cooled ‘84 was the ping king
Loved the 89 Honda cr-500 with it's red seat, tank,frame etc. red on red looks sweet!
