I have heard that the kx's vibrate more than the cr's, can't remember why though?
When I was on the hunt I was looking for both, my only criteria was price and year. I wanted something in the 89-94 year range. Seen lots of great looking kx's and almost always at better prices than the cr's (cult following type thing I guess) but never the right year or the price and distance was just not that appealing.
I kind of wanted the kx for the PVS but with the cr it is nice to have one less thing to worry about  |
I never really thought seriously about buying a 500, but I always wanted to ride one. If I were to buy another bike it would likely be a 125, either a KTM, Yamaha, or Gasgas. I thought about making a kx500 supermoto before, but I decided it would be unreasonable to mix gas every time I needed to fill up, and then I bought a ninja.
