Could be? I was never able to view it so couldn’t say for sure.
That was the second to last post in the thread before it was archived.
Really? Good to know. It’s a shame it was archived. That thread really seemed to bring some good changes around this place from what I’ve seen. Do you agree?
Steve’s a good guy, I’ve tried To get under his skin a few times, very cool calm and collected

I take back what I said about Steve. He is 100% a male, the skirt was indeed a rag to clean up an oil mess and convertible BMW’s aren’t for hairdressers.

The only BMW worth having is the S1000RR. The others are just overpriced tin cans

Takes a certain sort of individual to swing a leg over a 1000cc bike lol. a 250 has more power than most would know what to do with.

Granted, I’ve never ran a liter bike around a track but out on the open highway they’re much more fun than even a 600.
I imagine it would be fun when you have the power to weight to lift the front wheel off the ground in any gear, like anything there’s a sweet spot for road going machines, cars are the same anything over 6-7 hundred hp your really wasting your time on street tires. Ide never get on a liter bike, I’ve revved a few the response is crazy, you wouldn’t want to miscalculate throttle lol.
I grew up riding dirt bikes and it definitely doesn’t take 1000 to lift a wheel with pure power. XR500’s will do it all day. The newer 450’s are just stupid. My cousin had one and said it would jump straight up. My Dad didn’t believe him cranked it up popped the clutch and it jumped straight up about 4ft. My Dad killed it and said “yup that’s crazy”, I wisely passed on getting on it. I do find most street bike riders I know seem to jump straight to 1000 for some reason.
@MuscleMyHustle also agree about 6-700 horses for street cars. I mean I can barely push my 460HP engine hard without being immediately in the “reckless a-hole” territory haha.

That’s precisely my point why they are ridiculous 
all you have is body weight with those things to control it while it’s pinned. I’ve had a Kx500 2stroke and an rm450, the kx500 is pretty scary, powerband comes on like a sledge hammer.

Had a KX500 in the late 80,s .
I was young, It hurt. Bought a KTM525 in 2015 , Thought to myself hell its only a 4 stroke, Wrong !! Traded it for a golf cart which I still have, Love my cup holders.

Your either on or off the throttle, There’s no in between, It was a fun death trap that made my teeth rattle, but I loved it.
Like the cowboy said when he was asked why he sat in the cactus, Seemed like a good idea at the time. I’d never trade that experience for the world.
Y’all youngsters ever get the chance get a KX or a CR500.
