The Honda CR 500 was a bike builted for cross and it made the history of this sport alongside her 2-strokes 500cc rivals as the Group-B did it in the rallies. It evolved with the use of an alluminium chassis, in the CR 500 AF, and a lot of riders turned their bike into monster-supermotards...
I'll let the data talk for me:
| 500AF Specifications |
| ENGINE |
| Engine Type 500cc liquid cooled single cylinder two stroke |
| Bore and Stroke 89mm X 79mm |
| Compression Ratio 6.8:1 |
| Induction Eight pedal reed valve |
| Carburetion 39mm flat-slide |
| DRIVE TRAIN |
| Transmission Close-ratio five-speed |
| Final Drive #520 chain; 14T/48T |
| CHASSIS / SUSPENSION / BRAKES |
| Front Suspension 47mm inverted Showa cartridge fork with 16-position rebound and 16-position compression damping djustability; 12.4 inches of travel |
| Rear Suspension Pro-Link Showa single shock with spring preload, 17-position rebound damping adjustability, and compression damping adjustment separated into low speed (13 positions) and high speed (3.5 turns); 12.4 inches travel. |
| Front Brake Single 240mm disc with twin-piston caliper |
| Rear Brake Single 240mm disc |
| Front Tire 80/100-21 |
| Rear Tire 100/90-19 |
| DIMENSIONS |
| Rake 27.50 degrees |
| Trail 120.1mm |
| Wheelbase 58.3 inches |
| Seat Height 38 inches |
| Ground Clearance 13 inches |
| Dry Weight 213.8 pounds |
| Fuel Capacity 2.0 gallons |
Then this bike has something like 64hp on a bike weightin 97.18 kilograms without oil and with an empty tank.
However it is still available in the United States in the 2012 version from Service Honda, and I heard that you can find it also in Europe from France or Holland resellers or maybe some used-ones from privates.
