[QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 930883, member: 56976"] They make a lot of low end power, don't rev very high, do have a noticable hit in the middle. Rev much more quickly than a 4-stroke, but the power curve is relitivley flat and linear which is why someone was probably comparing them to 4-strokes. Don't confuse low end hp vs. top end hp as a 4-stroke vs. 2-stroke thing. Its really more releated to cylinder size and it just happens that most 4-strokes are also large displacement engines. IMHO the CR has a little more modern chassie and would be my pick for dune riding. The KX has a tad more top end hp, but less botom - both have way more than you will ever need. I owned a couple of CR500's and they were great bikes. Very easy to use. Make sure to get a paddle tire for sand riding, it makes a world of difference. Get a molded one (like the ching shin) rather than one with glued on paddles like a skat track. The glue will not hold up to the hp a 500 puts out. have fun [/QUOTE]
