hey guys I own the first two bikes and could easily get the CR 500 which would you prefer to build. Pros and con's please. Thank you!
 
I'll b the e riding in deep powder only

650 is out... 450r is the most plug and play the cr500 will have the most power to run lines simular to snowmobiles but takes the most tinkering and kodding to get running smoothly... also you never mentioned the year or the type of kit you would run...

I'm looking at timbersled long track kit or whatever is best for deep powder. I'm new to the snow bike scene but I've been riding snowmobiles my whole life. I keep seeing the guys on snow bikes and it's driving me crazy!!! I gotta try one.

I am partial to the 500 myslef.. the thing rips and is a powerhouse. .. it just needs to be set up right...

Hands down the Cr500 will be the fastest and lightest, IMO the 650 is not an option, its just the wrong bike. The 450f would be a great bike as well but it won't run with the CR500 but depending on how handy you are you may find it easier to live with. As was mentioned you will need to get things dialed in on the CR500 but IMO its worth the effort. The big 2 strokes do vibrate so they aren't for everyone but I don't see myself going back to a thumper any time soon.

Thanks for the response......I'm leaning towards the 500! Always have wanted one just know there a lot of bike in the dirt but I bet awesome in the snow. Ok next question, Honda or Kawasaki?

Either one is great.. I like not dealing with a power valve but mine is snow only..

Where is the E-button on those 3 Bike's?

We still love our XR650R.
It can be done I can help with the fit kit.
Have to Have a Flat slide Carb.

I Luv my "06" 525 xc Much more with the CR Tranny and Six Gears.
The E-button is a must for deep Snow.
