i'm a super senior on the hs so i like the 450 sometimes but like the weight of the 250 but want power of 500 so is worth to get the af or will the stock steel work for the hs thanks

[Slow old Fart]

It depends on what you are going to do with it, for moto x the AF is vastly superior to a steelie any of them but for some types of riding I will take a 87 or 88 CR500 over any AF.

i'm not going to motox just a hs sometime or just ride it. thanks for the help

[aloha450x]

take out the 450x motor and sellit on ebay. I might know a guy that will convert a 450x frame for ya. haha

I only have one major complaint with the newer style 500 and that is in sugar sand where I ride in FL the bike has bad steering issues but in other terrain it steers OK.The Stock one is a great bike and has more forgiveness in the ride compared to a AF.

[delirious]

i think i going to buy one with a stock frame.which years would be the best to get. thanks for the help

if your just going to ride it on ocassion, youll never be able to tell a difference between cr250 and 450x, convert your 450x before the motor blows up and renders it useless.

1- you have the chassis already. pull the motor and sell it for a decent price while it still runs good. buy a decent early-mid 90's cr500 for $1500, hell theres some good mid-80's cr500 for $1000/offer, pull that cr500 motor and part out the rolling chassis for $300-$500...i dont know what a good running 450x motor will get on ebay but i doubt you would be into your whole conversion $1000 (probly less than $1000), out of pocket after its all said and done.

2- buy a good complete conversion already done for $6000

granted i dont see things the same way as everyone else but this looks like a no brainer to me

Any thing 87 n latter for hillshooting I think you should have upside downs.

The 95 was considered the best working stock CR 500,you can always go on Ebay and update the forks on all Cr500's. The bike benefits good from a over sized rear brake that came on the 97 250 and later 125.

Keep the 450x sell the motor, carb, electronics and pipe use that money to put a 94 or later CR500 motor in it run a lighting coil and it still has a green sticker if your in Cali and you can ride anywhere year round.

If HS means Hare Scrambles I think you would like the AF better but the steelies are still pretty good. As far as year I would go 91' and up for the upside down forks if your go with a steelie.
