Thanks Hughes for sharing, a good  read. The funny thing is they say it was the best 500, but people rode the Honda more. Here in Europe a kx500 is almost rare compared to a cr500.
Honda had the big bucks so they could buy the best riders. Like ktm now :-D..
Wonder what would happened if Kawasaki made the changes DC Concepts made(250 rear subframe, lowboy exhaust).

Thanks for pointing out the Dirt Bike article.
Dirt Rider magazine will have an article about the KX500 in the September issue.
