Message: [QUOTE="SFO, post: 74909, member: 21864"] It is my opinion that the 501 is easier to ride in its current guise than my wr426. The power is more linear, it is way lighter, and it turns better with the rear wheel moved forward. This comparison is all I have, hope it helps. This particular motorcycle has been ridden quite a bit. It has consumed... 2 pistons 1 ignition 1 crank rebuild 1 cyl head rebuild, guides, valves, springs 1 gearbox complete with shafts(1500.00 ouch) It is a bit more labor intensive than a ktm... Dale is a super resource for building and tuning. email me and I will give you his #. When I first started riding it, it seemed to have little flywheel effect. Compared to the yz/wr it has the flywheel of a steam engine. [/QUOTE]
