I've got the last generation 500EXC, the 530 but big bored to 610cc with a 570 Husaberg cam. Pure torque and power. It can shred a rear knobby in minutes or power wheelie on 17" wheels in 4th gear.

They are amazing machines. Awesome bikes. The 350 will do about 96 MPH strung out on dirt in Baja, but has a little tighter gear spacing. Either are great bikes. Change the oil often and enjoy.

The internet myths of monthly rebuilds are BS unless you are a sponsored pro racer. You will read that quite a bit. Geared correctly and well kept, they will last for years of recreational off road or DS riding with just oil changes and wear items, tire, brakes, chains etc.
