Killer Job on that AF500 4Z. That has to be one of the Badest Dirtbikes on the planet!!!!

I'd like to see a showdown between your beauty and a Husaberg 650 just to see if the Hussy could hang...??

:beer;
 
Why put a 500 in an alum frame?........because you can!

From Service Honda's website. These are bad bikes. Great ride, light weight strong frame, with a 500cc motor.


"4th generation chassis, refined suspension and an aggressive look. The 500AF combines the fierce power of the CR500 engine and the advanced features of the latest chassis resulting in the most powerful and versatile off road motorcycle today.

The 500AF’s unique combination of unequaled power, nimble handling, stability and durability makes it ideally suited to a wide variety of riding conditions. Roosting your buddies in the dunes, blasting through the desert, cutting through challenging trails or punishing berms at the local motocross track, the 500AF performs flawlessly in all conditions."

I have a 2000 CR500. I have been thinking of doing this as well.

thanks guys. It has been a very fun project. Learned a ton and plan on doing another. I have been thinking about the '84 air cooled motor in one. The trouble is the spars are too low.......I wonder if FTX could make a whole frame.....mmmmmm

Note: Service Honda made a short run of LE's (Limited Edition) in the 125 Gen 3 chassis. It has a steeper rake and is way harder than the 250 that SH uses for all it's conversions. However, they didn't do a "X" version like this one :)

here are some more final build shots at FTX
