Rode a KTM 560SMR today, and that confirms it - the torque monster racing CR500SM will be having 4-stokes for lunch it's first outing. The 500 is a BEAST by comparison.
I'm getting the ultra fat jetting under control and this thing RIPS.

Good choice on chassis. I've always thought the Gen 1 frame would be great at delivering no flex straight hook up. Just don't let it high side you. They have a tendency to do that on dirt.

Very nice.
You might want to remove that extension behind the pipe though.

its pretty fun..... you'll figure out how to wheelie off the corner while still leaned over and then leaning the other direction still in a wheelie and thedn setting it back down just in time to turn...... the CR500 supermoto is a chicane eater........on one wheel! EPIC!
