[QUOTE="mattb348, post: 982748, member: 62675"] I finnaly got to pick up the 2002 KX 500 I bought today. It is basically brand new; only 5 rides on it. Hell, it doesn't even look like anyone even dumped the damn thing. Back & front tire still look like brand new, but are the original OEM tires. Took it for a ride today and friggin loved it! Kicks over extremely hard but I got it started in like 2 or 3 kicks. Then I got it going again when it was stone cold in 2 kicks, and that was wearing nike air's :P The thing sounds like a giant version of my KX 250 LOL! it has a PC pipe & PC factory sound 304 silencer. As far as power, it has ALOT, but not quite as much as expected, based on what I have heard about the 500's. It definitely had alot more power than my KX 250, but it didn't have TWICE as much as it. Wheelies in all 5 gears, and thats just on dirt, so I'm pretty damn happy. Also, it hauls some serious ass; I really think that KX 500's actually DO go 100 MPH :) I heard that 500's handle god awful, but I really didn't think that it handled bad at all; it just seemed like a more powerful version of my KX 250. Of course, I haven't tried jumping it yet though. Bottom line: I'm damn happy with it. Man that thing sounds mean, and it goes like a bat out of hell. Starts pretty easily, and runs DAMN good. I'll prolly never ride my 250 again for the most part now lol. Luckily I have a friend that wants to ride it though. I wouldn't want it to collect dust since its pretty much brand new like the 500 lol! [/QUOTE]
