    Hey folks, this is Carl, your NEMM Roaming Diplomat. Sr. says if you want to add a beautiful CR to your collection, then buy this machine. But that would be like keeping a triple crown winner in the stable. Anything this fresh and Wizard tuned is meant to win races. And you will win on this.

    Cr 500
    Original owner .
    Upgrade renthal bars from new... single digit hr time....
    Means Looped it out lowside, 3rd ride, plastic saved by his body, bars fucked...scared ....parkedfor 22 years.
    Edit...buddy had 86 yz 490, later other buddy had God awful pink 94 cr500...after riding clapped 125 and 250s...anything past 3rd gear gets hairy...hell 2nd gear all away around a track is fast enough...only reason to shift up was so throttle/ torque curve was not so on/ off switch throttle...off,or full out power...hardly a curve but a near instant peak.edit. 490 was a shsrper curve over 500...sometimes to fast too quick ain't for the better overall.
