I Think I Just Found My Next Bike

[Lunch Box]

WTF!?!??!?!??!?!?

Well, it beats dying of old age, I suppose.

From the ad:

Baddest turbocharged cr 500 on the planet! - $8000 (Shingle Springs)

1996 cr 500 turbocharged. Bike has 5 hours since build and 1 hour on turbo. Work injury will not let me on a bike. A cr 500 is a handful, a turbo 500 is beyond that, if you are not an experience dune rider do not respond to this ad, unless you want to put it in your living room to look at! A cr 500 is said to have approx. 65 h.p., the turbo manufacturer tells me every pound of boost will give 10 h.p., I have it set at 6 pounds of boost, it can be set higher,they say it has over 120 h.p., have not put it on a dyno, I just know that it has more power than any cr 500 on the planet. If you wan't a Badass bike bring cash and a truck. Bones

Oh, for fucks sake. No, I'm not asking why. That is just bad ass. :thumbup

 

[Phanuel]

So, is that set up for crossing lakes?

 

[ThumperX]

You're going to shoot your eye out.

 

[gixxerjeff]

If Hummer made motorcycles, I believe this is what they would look like.

 

[mean dad]

No nitrous? Pass. :x

 

[strictlyJDM]

That's ridiculous

 

[VicTim]

You'll have to buy new gear to match the paint job.

 

[Brokenlink]

Baja bike? :later

 

[jpoppa]

Soooooooooo if i am an experienced rider i can at least respond to the ad and say what an awful paint job and for $5000 you can find an nicely done CRF framed CR500 use the other 3k for a turbo and then you have a proper turbo cr with a nice paint job.

"work injury".

You know this dude looped it on the maiden voyage. Based on the time on the turbo right around lunchtime.

I was guessing that was code for 'the docs finally got my meds adjusted, f*ck this shit'

Well that and I'll bet the other bike in the background is not for sale. Maybe too much bike.

 

[Cincinnatus]

I see three bikes in the background, including the stripped skeleton to the left.

This guy's been doing :loco for a while... :laughing

 

[Cookie Monster]

I call dibs on LB's FJ-09 after he buys this thing.

 

[Butch]

That is pretty funny. Silly. Fucking hilarious. Not very usefull though.

 

[Blankpage]

Bike has 5 hours since build and 1 hour on turbo

I'm sure it’s got a solid one hour of life left before it disintegrates.

Better go for the extended warranty

 

[GPzPop]

I gotta wonder how adding a turbo to a two smoker interferes with the exhaust pipe expansion chamber tuning, because, science.

 

[FXCLM5]

This is almost as cray as a 450cr swap into a grom. Also i wouldnt doubt 1 sec, that the crazy drag racer would put a turbo or sc on the 450 grom

 

[FXCLM5]

Dont forget the 1200cc panigale 1199cc grom as well. That motor is what like 180hp? Run circles around this meh turbo 500 lol
