um, the 500cc class is relatively old streetbikewise. A sucker could go get a ninja500/ex500. No 2 stroke racebikes please

Common, your showning your age... there was also a 500 honda interceptor from the mid eighties. There are 500cc super motard two strokes form that same period... but you would have to go to euro top get one

gotta be either the god complex or my mother has joined honda-tech... If you take the time to put a little growth in your step, you won't have to be so retentive. Besides how would you know that I was not trying to say Come over here?

HEY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm half japanese to... and half german... Hopa my friend... not a big gardner fan... but hey, any of those guys are great. I was a big rainey fan, seeing as how he comes from a mile away from my house. I always loved the " Three time 500cc formula one world champion wayne rainey... from downey california" ????? always made me laugh... Can you get me parts from nippon?
