Managed to get it for £1450. Talon Hubs, Excel Rims. DEP Expansion. RFX levers (said ASV in the AD but they are clearly not!) Goes faster than stink. Can't get over how quick it is.
It's not perfect it's a little rough around the edges but that's how you want it really. It's going to get crashed. I wouldn't want to crash a mint bike. I'm pretty glad I didn't go for the 250! Can barely hang on to this 125!

They only foul plugs when the carb is not set up right Phil,
Lol. Bit hard to take a photo of yourself when you're riding lmao! And am i fook letting sime stranger hold obto my £500 phone lol.
It's like nothing i've ever riden before. 500cc single cylinder 2 stroke. Didn't really feel like a teo stroke. Had shït loads of torque but just revved out too quickly. And in the corners my 125 had if. It was wicked. It'll leave anything behind it in the straights. Then in the corners it's like handling a zimmer frame. Gotta be real gentle with it.
Apparently you can drop the 500 engine straight into a 2004 CRF ally frame. I bet then it will be frickinf awesome!
Yeah i'll get some photos when i'm next out. I've only got the one of the cr500 and my YZ in the van together.
Its called a AF conversion AF= Alloy Frame lol i dont think its a straght fit you have to weld new mounts on i think and make some rubber mount thing so the frame doesn't shatter
this is the nuttest version i have seen it was listed on ebay for 8k and i think it sold for something like 7k in the end there is a build thread of it out there on the www. and its crazy
Would LOVE to have my own house. If I owned my own house and garage I would be getting stuck into these projects like no tomorrow. Seriously! Crafting bikes together all the time!

Is their no photographers at the track at all? Yeah the cr's must be a handful in the corners!! Would still love one tho!
Yeah people do AF conversions with 2013 frames and everything! Theirs a company in the states called service Honda and they put refurned engines in new frames! Would give me left nut for one of them bad boys!!

Seriously need to develop fuel injection for the two stroke. I really don't get why they find it so hard. Think of all tr stuff we've got. Online multiplayer 128 people killing each other. Jet engines. Rockets to fly to the moon. But nah two stroke injection ...impossible.
People researching and developing the injection side of things should just be like 'WILL NOT WORK WITH XXXX OIL. ONLY WITH XXXX OIL.' People can't **** up then and if they do, it's down to them. It's stated which oil is needed and if they don't use it. Suck eggs, your own fault.
