A Bute and a Brute! Had a 390 with the 430 head kit and it was one of my favorites Ever!! I grew up on Elsinore/CR bikes had that 40year old thing so went out in 05 and bought a crf450r..whoo surprised me. After riding two strokes whole life with a cr500 as my last bike...just completely different! I was impressed and after I got the new worn off it and experienced speed wobbles at top speed downhill with a stiff wind at my back and on pavement I sold it. If it was 1985 I'd have to own that!!! Way too brittle now and you can't ride those anything but balls out! They are happiest at full charge!!!

But then again, all my good riding spots are now heavily patrolled and enforced by cameras. The 90's really were great years. Cops rarely had to enforce shit. But then people started trashing the Jersey Pine Barron's and then that was the end of it. Cameras and GPS sealed the deal.
