You might like this one then, the bloke who owned it told me it was an ex Dave Thorpe factory KX500 engine which sounds about right as I can remember reading about his bike in about 1989 or so.

It looks like a special engine. Wasn't that one used for hillgliming UK Style??
I've been reading the test now, it makes me yelous and want to have it!!

I'm planning to buy a RMZ450 08 or 09 for the costs over racing a 500.
In holland you can't find a good K5, and buying a old engine for rebuilding and putting it in a 250/450 frame
just costs to much for me :x :x
but a man has to have dream in his live :-)

Its one of the SR 500 engines that used to only have four gears but the owner put another gear in there, yes its setup for tarmac hillclimb sprints.
