Destry Abbott's KX500 Championship Bike

Here's a KX500 video we've been working on for the last month! I'm pretty excited with the way it turned out and have more projects in the works for next year! This was the first time I've ridden my KX500 in 8-years and I was honestly surprised how much fun I had on it! It brought back some great memories! Thanks again for everyone's support this year!

    @@snkneo-geo933 Depends what track your talking about. Supercross probably. The 80's KX and CR suspension on production bikes was very high compared to modern 4 stroke. That area he's riding is beast country long straight away to unleash the mighty power of the KX and I mean power my brother. If you never rode a KX or CR500 especially the 80'and early ninety's bikes then you never felt brute torque. I guess at the end it all depends on the rider. 4 strokes are like woman they always have a freaking problem lol.

I often feel that I'm going as fast as Desrty, because of my tri-focal eye glasses. haha With stock gearing I was once radared at 85 mph (it was topped out) on ice on a 750 ft snowmobile drag race track. I've never geared it Up or Down.

I have a new Hot Rods crank, Wiseco clutch, Pro X piston, Boysen Vforce 3 reeds, etc. I don't remember all I got for it. I need to call them and tell them my mom will be picking it up when she goes to my little sisters high school graduation. No I bought it all myself but I had moved and didn't have the room to bring it with me.
