These are the things I found in mine:
One reed petal, replaced by a 1.55mm thick metal plate - not, a metal reed.
A washer, tack welded into the header / ex manifold (can't remember which), that has a 17mm center hole/
A throttle restrictor 26.5mm long - giving, I assume, 11.5mm of throttle opening.
A long muffler, much like std CR500 ones, but with the final perforated tubing having an ID of 20mm. The first section, being the std 32mm / 1 1/4", then a chamber, then the 290mm length of 20mm ID perf. This, I occasionally use, when I'm going into rarely used, very, very, very tight areas nearby - with houses right there, in the bush, a few feet away. They are going to burn baby burn, the next big bushfire here - crazy places to put houses. You're lucky to get off the pilot jet, and No One, can hear me. Just don't get stuck, and load up the engine, as the resultant exhaust cloud, can have fearful residents ringing the Fire Dept.
Full lighting set up, HM lighting stator ( = E Line - though, those were made by HM, to my knowledge. Kevin Hines started racing and importing HMs to the states, and, I think, owned / owns E Line), blinkers, horn, reflectors, ADR approved tyres, chain guards, side stand switch. Road gearing - but you got all your standard parts, and the CR spares kit, other than the standard muffler (which I managed to get, though). The carb was fitted with standard CR500 jetting. Strangely, no battery, for lights on when the engine is off. So much for 'learners ' safety when they'd stall the 500 in traffic, at night............
Apparently, 200 came here. I'm a bit doubtful about that. Though, they did take a few years to sell all of them - I got mine in mid 2003. 2 CREs were sold at my local shop. Mine, I Never rode like that - I wish I did, it would have been hilarious - it went into straight into my rental flat on the end of my house, and was torn down. Everything, other than the cases being split, before turning a wheel under it's own power - CREs were the ultimately Friday Arvo assembly bikes. The other was used by a bloke commuting from Katoomba to Parramatta - about 80 /90 ks each way. What a bloody misery that would have been............ The shop tried Everything they could to get him on something other than the CRE. He then, bitched to them about the bike, for the next few months. It finally went to a good home.
I think the 3500 rpm was through requirements for testing to be at what was 50% of manufacturers stated maximum revs. It would have struggled to get to 3500rpm, I think. You'll see that it's Not Honda Australia as the manufacturer / licensee. CRE Australia, being a 'manufacturer / licensee', in that I think, John Redding, the head of KTM years ago, when Bert Floods were the importers of KTM, has / had a company that would set up so many 'special' regos. I think you'd find on the compliance plates, for the YZWR 2ts, when they existed, something like YZWR Australia, and the same on many other small volume, registered bikes - from various manufacturers. Especially if the bike was previously imported as a non ADR'd bike. Once they come in as that, 'It', has to be presented as 'another' bike entirely. It's also why you'd see, on the Woody's Motorcycles Wyong CRs, WMW as the manufacturer on the compliance plate, to my recollection.
The CRE500s, qualified as Learner Legal bikes - power to weight, was easily below that required for Learner Approval.
