    This is a 2001 Honda CR500.The bike is in very good physical and operational condition.Bike has original steel bars. The rubber around the throttle and clutch lever doesn't even have any wear. The fork tubes and these guards don't even look like the bike has ever followed anyone. It was on the original tires and we replaced the rear with a new one. It has an almost new FMF full exhaust installed.The bike starts and runs excellent and it needs nothing to ride or display. The wheels, swingarm and lower frame do show some typical wear but no rust/corrosion issues as this is an Arizona bike.The seat cover is original and does have a couple blemishes but no tears. The gas tank has some light discoloration. This bike will include the Arizona Title, notarized and ready to sign over to the new owner. In Arizona titles are not labeled as on or off road and this title can be used to register this bike for on road use HERE.

Frame/Suspension: Initially started life as a 2001 CR250, was cut and fitted with the 500 motor. The forks and shock were OEM and had not been valved or touched.

2024 KTM 890 SMT Review

Thu, 01 Aug 2024

The love child of a Duke and Adventure – that oddly works Photos by Edward Narraca. If ever there was an oxymoron in motorcycling, it’s the term “SuperMoto Touring,” and yet here it is, emblazoned on the side of this orange machine. Supermoto evokes images of dirt bikes on slick tires, being hucked sideways into corners.

2024 KTM 390 Duke Review – First Ride

Fri, 22 Mar 2024

Premium treatment for the baby Duke Photos by: Francesc Montero, Sebas Romero Like many things in life, perspective is everything. Here in the US, KTM’s 390 Duke has been the smallest member of the Duke family (although that’s no longer true as the 250 and 200 Dukes cross the ocean, too). As the baby Duke in America, we generally look at it with kid gloves, a cute learner bike for someone to start with before coming up through the ranks.

Thu, 07 Mar 2024

We’ve officially entered into the world of the ridiculous Photos by Francesc Montero and Sebas Romero There’s only so much you can learn about a motorcycle after getting about four laps on a racetrack you haven’t seen in a decade. Factor in the cold conditions, a brand new, race-compound rear tire, and no tire warmers, and you can basically throw away any sort of authoritative impressions about the bike. Oh, and did I mention the bike in question is the 2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO and the racetrack was the ultra-tricky Almeria circuit?

Long-time readers will know this already, but if you’re new here, our history with the middle Duke family runs deep. Type in either 790 or 890 Duke in our search bar and you’ll see the myriad of stories and tests we’ve done with those bikes.

2023 KTM 890 Duke R: 5 Things You Need To Know

Tue, 12 Dec 2023

We say goodbye to an instant classic with five things we love about it It’s hard to say goodbye to the ones you love, but that’s exactly what we have to do with the KTM 890 Duke R. One of our favorite bikes since its introduction, the 890 Duke R is leaving the KTM lineup to make way for the incoming 990 Duke (and the re-introduced 790 Duke). But before we bid it farewell, we put it up against some of its European contemporaries in a good old fashioned MO shootout.

2023 KTM RC 8C Review

Wed, 31 May 2023

It had been quite a while since I last rode a multi-cylinder KTM on a racetrack – all the way back to 2011 and the Red Bull-sponsored factory RC8R 1200cc V-twin on which Martin Bauer was victorious in that year’s IDM German Superbike Championship, with teammate Stefan Nebel third. That was a key moment in the Austrian dirtbike specialist’s climb up the ladder to equal status with the likes of Honda and Ducati in the road racing pantheon, and showed that orange was a color to be reckoned with on-road as well as off it. KTM invited Alan Cathcart to join 30 customers to pick up their new RC 8Cs in Valencia and hobnob with the likes of Jeremy McWilliams, Mika Kallio, and Brad Binder.
