500r Still Kickin Butt after 25 Years!

The bike is effortless to control. I find the flat out power lacks a little but the 500r handles so much better than most. The raised position of the grips makes the bike very comfortable for a sport bike. The seat sucks but what factory seat won't? I find the flat road 70mph 5500 rpm a little high, a four tooth final sprocket knocked the rpm down to a more comfortable 4000. Speed shifting is an art with a twin but with practice not so bad. This bike is a perfect hard curve sport bike with just a touch of high speed banked shake.

Upgrades/Accessories:  Jimmy C Nos .56 mm primary = 17 more horse Logitex computer = 20 fp more torque v&n pipes = 6 more horse CT&O ridged neck = 8 more horse and 3 more fp
