> **You just listed 4 not street legal motocross bikes. And that KX 500 would be a horrible street bike**. Buy something street legal from the factory. WRs,DRZs,KTM motards…Me personally i would buy a KTM but they are expensive. Look for an older Suzuki/Yamaha 400 if you’re not looking to spend a lot.

correct, I was just stating that those non street legal bikes I mentioned are what I am used to riding and would like something similar looking to them… Alot of street legal bikes are ugly as shit, I want a bike that still looks sporty and off road like the wr kinda… Kinda looks like a yz250f… And trust me, after getting rid of my cr500 I would never want to buy another 500 EVER again lol, just curious how he got it registered… I was fouling spark plugs, breaking pairs of shoes and getting stranded more then anything. Even with that decompression “mod” that thing is a bitch to start… I’ll stick with 4 strokes that I can fall off a 20 foot jump crash the bike on the floor and kick once and start back up lol.
