Hi everyone. Just picked up a nice 92 CR500 yesterday. Rebuilt and newly powder coated engine. First one I ever owned. Always wanted one, now I know why. :D

I plan to use it on the local hill climb circuit here in New England.

Here it is.

Plan to run it along with my current hill climb bike. YZ with a Kawasaki H2 750 triple engine.

I might do an AF conversion on it. Not really sure. I might just go through it mechanically and clean it up and run it as is. One thing is for sure, this bike rips!

Welcome to the club,
love the kawmaha, I know back in the day that was a hand full on the street, can only imagine what it must be like on a hill climb

sure is a nice clean install of that 750!
I've seen quite a few up here and down towards Billings MT with some horrifficly plumbed pipes haha

Glad you're here!

Thanks it was a huge job to get the pipes right and fabricate the carbon fiber covers. Landed on them twice already without a scratch on the pipes. They did their job.

Yeah the 750 is a handful. One of the local hills I run is the Monson Monster. They've been racing there since the 1920's. One of the oldest around. Can't wait to run the CR.
