[QUOTE="nephron, post: 635070, member: 23759"] Yeah, they were stock. And all the bikes were stripped to some degree. I can't recall exactly. It makes sense, since the XR650 is higher geared before the countershaft sprocket (I think) and that huge thumper motor probably doesn't suffer torque deficiencies against a serious wind. Have you ever been over 120 on a dirtbike? I'm sure there's a little resistance. :) I made 4900 miles in 9 days on a VMax once, which required valley and canyon speeds of 140 plus--frequently--no windshield or anything. I felt like a piece of leather after that ride. If you're looking for a 'primarily' desert bike, you can't beat a KX500. I'm not being biased at all either. The results speak for themselves, and this bike with a Scott's damper is unmovable at speed. Nothing jigs it. Nothing scares it. Not even a slight wiggle when you hit a cement block at 40. It's as stable as they come, and faster than hell. When I'm done with this motor, I might have Gorr port it for more top end. I might try it myself. :scream: If I ruin it, I guess he can epoxy it. If not, there's probably a replacement cylinder out there for a few bucks. BTW, I've ridden the KTM, and it's an AWESOME bike. Very, very fun to ride. I want one. The KX is just a different beast--really pissed and vibrating a lot, but can be tamed with throttle control. [/QUOTE]
