Yeah, I'd come the other way at that point, from uber-speed street bikes. They're still ferociously fast for a dirt bike - a well fettled one can probably still roll over a new 450 in a straight drag. Going for silly money now too - another bike I shouldn't have sold, doh!
Bit of a shite pic, but here's mine. None of the lights or anything worked, no speedo etc...I had a very awkward incident just by the US Ambassadors house in Regents Park on it once.

I had an 86 CR500. It put the 'tard in Motard. They're kind of terrible. Bastards to start and not all that fast, particularly on the street. The vibration is like riding a cement mixer.
They're very, very reliable though. Need far less maintenance than 250s.
