Would rep. Aaron Colton can be heard in the latest MotoGeo vid saying he can't do more than 5 laps on his CR500 because of the vibrations. You've had some cracking bikes. Saw a XR650R last weekend and it did get me thinking, although slightly overkill for UK greenlanes I think.

Haha, I think my general standards have gone up over the years but I'd had some unbelievable piles of shite too.
Nah, wouldn't bother with a XR650R - lack of an e-start and they'll all have been FLOGGED. I rebuilt the suspension front and rear and replaced every single chassis bush and bearing on mine. Now it needs a top end.

Still maintain that a CRF250L is adequate as a plaything for green lanes.
Anything heavier than 150kg is unnecessary, and you don’t need the power. If you want to do mad technical stuff then totally go for a 100kg 2T enduro, but your maintenance schedule will become every ride.
I see people with massive bikes posting on the TET group photos of them fallen over. Sod that.

Dunno about the CR5hunny, I had one and it was pretty horrible. Mine was a motard admittedly, but it wasn't that fast, handled poorly and vibrated like a diesel dildo. The KX murdered it in the desert too....
Think the NR was built by HRC. Allen Millyard had a CX500 Turbo and loved it...I suppose if you HAVE to have a maggot, stick a blower on it.
