New leftover 2001 CR500 being taken out the crate
 

I saw this on Allthingsmoto and I thought it was cool.:eek:

What does everyone think about that?;)

I think they should keep it unpacked. It's already quite old and older it gets the more value it has like that (collectible). I don't think there are many like that left.

No value in a box. Give it to some 16yr olds and tell them to try wheelie practice. Be good for them to learn some humility. Sure would have done me some good if I weren't so perfect.

Well I have mixed feelings about it. Its a dirt bike and meant to be ridden, however it is also a collector piece. I doubt my wife would let me display it in the living room.

Its a tough call, but you can't hear that big 500 growl with it tied up in the box.

I don't know where I heard this. Sorry for not giving credit. :o
3 things to do before you die (in no particular order):
- Make peace with your maker.
- Find the love of a good woman.
- Ride a CR500.
:D

It's a mass produced dirtbike, not a works racer or historic one off. Someone could have years of enjoyment out of that beast if they can get parts, ride it :D
