reasons to NOT sell a kx5

[gwcrim]

Would you sell a Hemi Cuda?  A 427 Tri Power Vette?  Get the idea?

The guy is wrong, you cannot buy a new cr500 from honda...they won't build it for you either.  The motors are built and other parts but as whole, it doesn't exist.

It seemed hard to believe but I bought into the guys comment that the cash talks I should have known not to believe everything I read but some part of me wanted to believe it

I wouldn't think if the cr5 was still made, it would still be in a steel frame.

Delphi is correct, Service Honda/Kawasaki will sell you a new updated chassis 500.

...the key to total happiness with a 500 2 stroke is maturely knowing exactly when to wack the throttle and when to NOT whack the throttle... 

QUOTED FOR TRUTH! 

Well said, sir!

C'mon it's a dealership...not the factory.  And it's not an updated 500 chassis'..they are built from an existing 4stroke frame.
I'll also say that the sh honda's are allegedly not perfect it seems...some of the "other" 500 2stroke sites will point it out in text and pictures.  From what I've seen\read, honda wouldn't build it that way.

any other dirtbike (bar maybe cr5) will feel gutless afta the 5 and i would feel cheated if i have to ride anything else.they can be a handful but there only as fast as you twist em....

Not gonna thread jack, but he never said Factory and a newer 4stroke frame is more updated than the old slug 500 steelie.

You're right delphi was correct about the sh connection but it's still not a 500 chassis....I think it's their 5th gen frame now so that's an existing 4stroke frame with the downtube and mounting points moved.  I think we all know about sh but it isn't honda building it and delphi wan't even referring to the video.  I'll agree that the alu frame with the cr500 is better than the steelie.

          That's what I couldn't figure out with the video it looks like the old steel frame so I thought they really went to honda and bought a 2010 cr 500 after reading the comment that you could do that and it's not a 500af bike going by the frame on the bike it sure looks modern though.

          The angle of the silencer and the fenders look updated and it's not a af bike due to steel frame so I fell for the gag sorry bout that.

[454SS]

No big deal...I figure the cr250 would be back before a 500...now if you see a honda 250 2stroke come back, there's a chance a 500 will.

[sniper1]

       I agree that would make more sense from the manufacturers bottom line and as we all know that is all it's about and the 250 would be the best seller but the consumer controls what they make in the end and if nobody bought their 8k 4 strokes they would have to start putting money into 2 strokes again..

       I should add that my reasons never to sell my k5 again is the fact I can't get this kind of rush any other way besides combat which is a different kind of rush and not really a good kind of rush but a rush all the same.

       The fact I can jump on the bike anytime I want and rip accross a field or scream down the street with arm stretching acceleration is the best and no other bike gives that kind of feeling.

       No hill to big no dune can slow you down on the k5 and it doesn't look like anymore of these will be made so at least tuck it away in your shed or garage for the money you would get for it now it's not worth getting rid of it trust me I sold my 88 that I bought new and my 01 that I bought new it was the worst mistake I ever made and it was to make cry baby girls happy because they couldn't ride.
