My friend (6'2", 235 lbs) recently bought a 98 CR 500 - he hadn't ridden in awhile and thought the extra weight he had put on would make him too heavy for a 250. After three rides and a nasty crash he sold it. He was a reasonably good rider and could not get used to the sheer amount of power. The wreck was caused by coming up slightly short on a VERY small double, having left hand come off bar and right hand twisting the throttle. He and the bike ended up in a small 2 foot deep pond. LOL.

don't go by months, years, etc. go by hours. i think an hour meter and a good compression tester would be a worth to get. for the area i live in (california), those prices would get an okay-decent bike.ononewheel said:I live in the UK so a UK dealers would be good.
SO I could get away with replacing the ring every 2 months and then the piston and ring another 2 months later yeah??
The thing i am not to sure about is...
Is this all that is needed to keep the engine fresh just constant piston changes and a little cylinder erm deglaze, score??? not to sure what it is called, you know the criss cross???
so I am looking at about £50 for every top end yeah??
Just can not wait to get this bad boy RM's with DEP pipe.
Do you think around a £1000- £1300 is a good price for a 01 bike??
