    My dream bike! Such a beautiful bike I'm jealous for sure. They're getting harder and harder to find. In my opinion the best of the cr bikes was the 1989. I wish they still made race bikes like these. The new ones I can't even get with what the industry has done to the plastics design and don't get me going about how they need to bring back the entire 2 stroke line up. Other than the 89 cr bikes the 90's 2 strokes are my favorite.

      Yep…! You are not alone in your thinking. I know it’s probably my age (52.5yrs old), but the newer stuff has zero pull on me. I’ve plenty of late ‘80s 2-strokes & still ride REGULARLY! Been riding 2-stroke MX bikes since 1982 when I got my 1979 KX80A. I rode just yesterday my 1996 CR250R & the 1998 YZ250 (both deeply modified). Riding still gives me the youthful fun & enjoyment as it always has! Love my 1988 KX500 the most though💪😁much agreed with you…the whole plastics thing?! Just weird looking to me.

    I had a Marine Corps buddy who had a new '89 CR500 back then. He didn't believe in suspension preload (thought it was a waste of travel) and dialed all of it out of his shock. He was essentially riding a pogo stick.
    I was behind him on my XR600R when he hit a pebble. What unfolded next looked like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. He turned into a moving dust cloud with an arm, a leg, a wheel, occasionally popping out of said dust cloud. It was hilarious!
    He became a believer in preload. It renewed my faith as well.

      At one point Robbie's Surgeon owned the Caesars Palace jump bike. Would be interesting to know how many Cr 500's Robbie owned? I estimate 6 to 7. He never was sponsored by Honda, the reason the Honda graphics were removed. Most of the jumps he did in the early 90's were on 91 Cr's with white fenders, side covers and number plates.

    • @charleswinters7129
      @charleswinters7129 Рік тому +1

      The forks were trapping oil and air with the cones at the top of the forks. This created a mid stroke harshness. Showa also used a little more low speed compression which made suspension feel a little harsher. I was one of those test rides for Showa in 89. I got to try out many different top cones with different shapes holes in an 89 500. I didn’t think the rear was bad. Ever couple of weeks I would get a new box from Sudco, the American arm of Showa with a note from Jake Thompson. The 89 was a lot of fun to ride when the forks were fixed.
