The article waxes on about how impressive the line will be, but take one look at the photo above and tell me how effective (or even affective) this line will be.

I would put more faith in BMW's new 450 than this 500 two-stroke. Although, take that with a grain of salt because MXA recently did a test of a CR500 versus a CRF450 and found that if the 500 two-stroke was in a modern chassis it may have been the better bike....
