Well, here she is. No, that aint no 125, or 250
For those of you that don't know, it's a '91 CR500. It's a 500cc 2 stroke in the same chassis as a 125 or 250. It's bored .020" over, ported, shaved head, and FMF Gnarly pipe. They're advertised at 61hp stock, so figure about 70 now, with close to that much torque, in a 224 lb bike. Just plain dangerous, but lots of fun. It's geared for about 100mph now, but will pull to faster than you want to go on a dirt bike if it was geared up more. It easily does 5 gear rolling burnouts on dry pavement without using the front brake.

I built a burnout pit for an open house at work (Harley dealership) and here's a couple pics from that. I don't have any pics from my burnouts cause I was the one taking pics, but I have some of the aftermath.
The 500. It was with a street tire though.

What my street bike did to the back board HAHA!. (Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic) It lit up about halfway through the burnout. A lot of people got cell phone vids, but no pictures of it on fire during the burnout. I kept going till the tire blew, but my back started getting a little hot.

Our bikes afterwards. I did 2 tires with my Buell. One had steel chords that bent my license plate, chipped my paint and ripped my seat haha.
