dude, get rid of those gay ass lights on the 450x and use that chassis. you want to be cool, or a tool? . you have half of the eqaution already, what the fluck is wrong with you

Settle down, pornstar.....

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

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

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.

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.

uhh dude, i think he wants a bike for casual weekend rides......not a fawkin 8ft extended hillclimber for the widowmaker

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.

X10,000

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.

Ok lets list the knobs....

I will be next, one of the 2 bikes will have a headlight. Also my ATC has a headlight, does that add me to the list?

The only lights Clyde see's, is these when he gets pulled over with 14 year old run-a-ways in the car....

Hahahahaha... Well we'll see when I'm done with the lighting coils who orders them. I'll post a new "knob" list knob coils hmmm...

I wouldnt mind having a light again... Im wondering how well one of those 6 or 8" led jobbers would do on the 500 I kinda miss night riding..
