This weekend I got to ride Kawboy's KX500 again and I scared myself, again. It made me think of the question:
Can you ever really use the full power of a 500 in a decent traction situation?
The reason I ask is that there are times when I am on the pipe and full throttle on my 250, but leaning way forward to compensate. Is it possible to ever get far enough forward on a 500 to use all of its power or are you always having to be careful about not giving it too much?
I'd really like to consider a 500 as my next bike, but they scare me!
