Quick google search produced this from Dirt Bike Mag:
"1999 KAWASAKI KX500
Like the Honda CR500, the KX500 is a living reminder of a bygone era. It revs higher than the CR500 and is more stable, which makes it a popular desert bike. You rarely see one on a motocross track, though. Tested in the April 1999 issue.
TEST BIKE WEIGHT: 233 lb.
PEAK HORSEPOWER: 55.9 @ 6500 rpm"
So I was pretty close on my guess! I would bet Destry's Factory bike had more HP, maybe 60+, and probably weighed 5-10 lbs less.
