@moiolennaab Go to the library and learn about engines both 2 & 4 stroke. You will soon learn that for any given capacity, a 2 stroke will generate nearly twice as much torque as a 4 stroke because it has twice as many power strokes per cycle.
CR 500 is an amazing bike. Since 2 strokes produce roughly 80% more power than 4 strokes, it's no surprise that the rider was only pulsing and never even had it wide open in the same gear to keep up with that 4 stroke KTM ;) . I can't wait to get one of these someday.
haha the 500 was just puttering around while the 525 was like half throttle majority of the time... Should kicked the 500 up a gear and flew by him... =]
ya honda and kawasaki rule them all! you could hear the ktm being revved high and the honda could have easily passed! it wasnt revved high at all, or shifted much. but they are both still good bikes!
Dont mind the KTM's...But he's hardly twisting the throtle on the CR...I've riddin both 525's and CR 500ng but now likin the Husqvarna!.. check them out.
Maico made a 760 around the 1980s but only made 3 just for a special race. There was never a production 700 cc 15 or 20 years ago (KTM did have a 540 around 1990 though).
A few years ago (and today), Kostler Maico which currently produces Maicos does release a 700cc 2 stroke engine. A few years ago ATK put this motor into their 700cc Intimidator model.
You can always pay someone to bore the shit out of your cylinder though if you want.
not 540, KTM 550 2stroke. and you could tune them up to 100hp. KTM 380cc is the best big 2stroke. 500 is to hevy, 380cc is a big bore 250.. same weight as a 250 2stroke, but 500 perfomance. like riding 250 with nitro. I had a 1998 380sx with tune pipe++. 500< 2strokes don`t rev like a 380cc..
cant even hardly hit a band on that trak ktm are mean bikes lol i had a 450 04 model and a 1998 cr 250 and i prefferd the cr but i preffer 2 strokes eny way good filming
the kx 500 was faster than the cr... the kx had a power valve as opposed to the cr which was just straight ported. either way, they r just plain sick bikes and the roost hurts like hell
YE 4 sho he was puttering or cruising his 500 then i dont think he used the power band once (and i dont blame him lol) cuz this 500 would blow tht ktm away man 2strokes r like bombs if u can controll them a 4 stroke wouldnt stand a chance
lol, I'm guessing you didn't open it up and "hear the powerband scream" because by the time that happens on a CR500 you are already in a tree. Amazing how much torque that thing has btw, I am used to a 125 and I kept thinking "give it gas! it's gonna stall!!" lol.
ramuss55 your a dumb ass maybe on supercross cuase the shocks arent ass good but on shit like thie the cr 500 can whoop just about all it in a flat out race it would take 940 ktm to beat a cr 500 in a striaght line
I think people here are trying to stir people up or know nothing about 2 strokes and 4 strokes. Hah! A crf150r beating a cr500 or a 525. I'd like to see that happen.
And what's this CR doing? It could eat this KTM 525 for breakfast. It should be racing a Fireblade on the tarmac, that'll be an interesting race.
rasmuss, i have ridden them all, you must be kidding, maybe the 525, 500, and 450 are the bets bikes of all time ( i am of course open bike guy) but the CR500 will EAT them all...with todays weight and frames...the CR500 would weigh 210 lbs.....eeek scary..
71? Bullshit, dont believe the manufacturers claims. They always inflate their figures, cos it impresses nobbers like you and gives you ammunition to make youself look like a know nothing twat. Where do you assume they got that 71bhp figure from? Was it the back wheel, the flywheel, the crank, or straight from the engine designers original draft?
Mate if I had access to a bike dyno I would have already put one on it! I really don't need to prove anything as I'm not the one disputing the manufacturers claims. If your going to argue a point, at least have something to back it up with. Do you know for a fact that Honda haven't run one on a dyno?
A CR500 would shit all over a CRF450. 2 strokes were always quicker than 4 strokes because the crank only has to spin round once to complete a full cycle, 4 stroke cranks have to spin twice to complete their full cycle. Fuck me there are some proper fucking retards on this site.
i have a yz450 (4stroker) and even my bike went there. lol opening up a bike on real trails is usually suicide for anyone. (big fan of the ktm 500+) side note... 4 strokers are cool on trails cause popn the front tire is a flick of the thrttle like .2 inch lol thats y i got mine (3gs)
man you guys are lycky to have terrain like that. Holland is pretty much one big crowded city, there's just no offroad terrain. and if it's there it's full of people and the cops get you in no time.
