I got a good laugh out of this and figured it was worth sharing...

 

[Wolverine]

[old guy]

Bultaco and Can Am as well. we had a dealer in town and they were fun to listen to. I was too small to ride one but always feared them .

State of the art back in my day lol! I had a buddy with a Carrabella and that sumbeech fired up running backwards. You should have seen that hole shot!

I watched American Pickers today. They came across a mint Kawasaki 750 2 stroke triple. I don't remember what year. Mike (from American Pickers) said he had one as a teenager and it "scared the crap out of him".

I had a Honda CR500r for a very short time, two stroke 500 single was a bit difficult to handle. It was night and day difference from my XR250r four stroke. Had a lot of fun riding on one tire,

I have always wanted one of those, and an rz350! I read an article years ago that they had built the 750 h1 on alky that made 210hp on the dyno, drag only! Lol

This reminds me of a bike add with the catch phrase "mixing gas and slapping ass"

 

[Deets066]

My 1997 700 triple sled was 185 hp on dyno. They are 110-115 stock

Looks small in the pic, but they sure are big in person

They aren’t that big, seat height is lower than a 125 or 250 of the same year, a cr125 has the highest seat of the three...and they weigh the same as a crf450...lighter that all of the new 450 four stroke they are only 232 pounds dry

I had one back in the day too, an '89. That thing scared the crap outta me at least once every time I took it out

Yet another machine from our youth that only you or I could start. Lol! Hold on once she fired!

 

[Terry Syd]

Nice bike, if I was forty years younger I might buy it. I used to race 'heavyweights' (over 250cc) in the desert. You could occasionally use all that power out there, but most of the time you spent looking for the line with the most traction. - fond memories of my youth.

that's my motto for "life"...try to scare the crap outta yourself at least once a day !!!

A 500cc two-stroke bike will be more than capable of keeping you to your motto! Lol

Never owned one, but everyone needs to throw a leg over a CR500 At least once in their life.
