500 class 2 srokes....strokes.... has em?

Last 500 I rode was probably 12-15 years ago. It was a 1983 Honda CR480 that had been re done frame up and bored out to a 500. In my opinion the big bore 500's are much easier to ride (more forgiving) and don't mind being lugged down low than lower cc 2 smokes. I've never really considered 2 strokes to big the big scary dinosaurs that some make them out to be. I suppose it's what you learned on or grew up with. I still have and ride my 2003 CR250R. I just picked up 4 gallons of 100 octane Sunoco / Pro Honda HP2 premix this afternoon. Gotta get a little more seat time in before AZ summer hits.



A new 450 with fuel injection and modern suspension would be nice though.
