OK, I'm an Old Boy too but only 41. I had a WR500 (much maligned Air -Cooled Yamaha '92, basically a prettier YZ490) I thought it went Great, but maybe not for much longer. I went to my Dealer for some Window Shopping One Day in April '97 and as I headed out the Door there was a New Green 5 Honey looking at me. I traded the Yamaha the very next Day, I thought if the KX has at least as much power as the Big Yamaha I'll be Happy. It took me some time to find out however as I bought the New Bike with my Arm in a Sling, having recently Dislocated my R. Shoulder for the 4th Time. The Dealer helped me put the pretty KX on the trailer & I managed to get the Bike Home . My Partner Hit the Roof, She went NUTS "Whats your Problem?" (Have you ever taken a Bike off the trailer with your Arm in a Sling?) Shes Gone now, But I still have my Big Green Girlfriend and thats the Main thing. My other Bikes are a Restored '74 DT360A, 75 YZ360 Monoshock (restored to as new) and an'01 CR500 (New, Still 'In the Crate') The KX is the Best.
