For the same $$ amount,
Would you get a KLX450r (08 onwards)
or CR500E (01-02)
this would be rego'd for hitting the firetrails and possibly adding some 17inch spoked wheels hitting the roads occasionally.
Whatya reckon?

lot's of DRZ400's around, you could get the E varient for off road and get some road wheels for it, I got the SM 'cos I'm happy to stay on road. Also the KLX400 and DRZ400 are the same bike so you could ease your conscience of not buying green

Since when can you register a CR500?
IT490 I knew about but they're old. A registered CR500 would be fun

They did a few road legal versions in the later year before the model expired
Rare as hens teeth and sell for almost the same today as they did then

theres one in newcastle for 8500...
But more i read more i am crossing it off. the easy rebuilds and stuff would be ok, but im more concerned about having to pre-mix my fuel everytime i filled up. Imagine a putty loop...
I think its KLX450 time...
if it blows up, i'll set fire to it and call the insurance company.

It still needs a new washer but, that ones shagged. Sean Condon ordered one for me.
