The KX500 is like gold. It keeps going up in value. Nothing can touch the sheer raw power inside this monstrous engine.

The KX500 is like gold. It keeps going up in value. Nothing can touch the sheer raw power inside this monstrous engine. Those that had 2-strokes when they were legal and allowed by the EPA knew what fun you can have day in and out. Now that the EPA killed 2-strokes; the value has only gone up faster than gold. MSRP in some cases has already been passed up for higher prices. The KX 500 is the most powerfull bike in the world. This bike will smoke any 4-stroker period! I am a pro since 1979 on my XR80! Those were experimental days. Since then the KX 500 is the final masterpiece. The bike is a little heavy compared to my skinny 250's but makes up hands down for the amount of disgusting cheating power it produces. It almost feels like I'm cheating everyone with their wimpy 4-strokes. See you in pits 4-strokers with a wrench in your hands. Seriously, just buy them all since they will be worth big money.

I'm sorry to lower the reliability rating because mine takes a lot of kicking to get started on a trail ride. Other than that, this is a very great bike. It has a lot of power and good handling at high speeds. I wouldn't recommend it for long rough trails, but it's great for Motocross. This bike flies across the track and is easy to move around in the air. If you need to save money by buying an older bike, buy this one, because mine works pretty well for a 10-year-old dirt bike. Mine is a big bore 144 with a racing muffler and a reed force valve. I bought it for $1,050, so I wouldn't recommend spending too much on an old bike. Wait a while and you may be surprised with what you might find. MY BIKE: The rear number plate and front number plate were painted turquoise, and the radiator shrouds are black. I honestly don't like how it looks very much, so remember not to get one with a custom paint job you don't like. Replacing plastic isn't cheap.

The bike has power where ever you need it. The power band seems never ending and will throw you on your back. The only thing I could complain about would be the suspension.

Sometimes the mono shock is a little stiff and let's you know when you hit a breaking bump. Other than that, there's nothing after market can't fix to make it a great running bike.

This is the fastest bike I've ever ridden. With my brother's GPS tied around my neck, I got it to 39 mph in third, 48 in fourth, 56 in fifth and 64 in sixth (I didn't hit full speed in sixth and I was not on the road).

This bike handles like a dream, stops on a dime, and accelerates like a rocket. It is loud, even stock. It is a great beginner's racing bike.

I bought this bike used and I've got to tell ya, it is one heck of a bike. The powerband has a wicked hit. I was surprised in the trails with this bike. It could ride up hills and get through the tight turns. I mostly ride MX but ride some trails too. If you're looking for a really reliable MX bike... read more

The 1st time I rode it, I was smiling from ear to ear at the gobs of power it has. The downside to that is that it can wear you out on the track quick if you're not in shape! Suspension once dialed in was good, turned good, rocket out of the pocket, and felt light in the air. Funnest bike I've ever owned...

My dad got me a 2003 KX100 last year for my b-day. I am pleased with it. I don't think they could have made it any better. It has awesome acceleration with a respectable top speed. I can't move my foot fast enough to shift and I get scared going around the track sometimes when I hit 5th. I had my grandpa run beside me with his van and he said 3rd will do 45mph and 6th will do 65mph. And she wheelies easily (look at the picture(resolution isn't that good)).
