The fact of the matter is, no one can make a thread on this board without Jeram scrutinizing it, and this guy is scrutinizing not only a bike I have ridden but another one of my own bikes on a completely unrelated message board.  The guy is a troll that transcends multiple message boards.  It never fails, that every board has one and in this case, 2 boards have the same one in common.

Im on about 10 forums but choose to only scruitnise in 2, unfortunately some of the content on two of these forums have members who make outrageous claims, conjure up conspiracies about just about anything, and create speculation. In my mind it needs scruitinizing, otherwise any other passers by will think this is a tin foil hat zone.

now, Im actually going now (again haha). so if youve got anything else to say thats what the PM button is for.

Im not arguing in the slightest.... but Jeram, you really do like men

HA!

they heard me laughing 5 cubicles over.

I think a post claiming 80hp on a forum that has a number of tuners on it that chase 1 or 2 hp for a living was a little silly and you should've expected a challenge.
I'm not taking sides but premixed you should know not to claim hp figures without being able to back them up.
And i've read couple of jerams posts and he doesn't seem like a troll to me.
Once again i'm not taking anyones side but i think people should be more careful of there claims and not get all hostile when someone calls them on it.
just my 2cents

Fuck my sideways who gives a flying fuck about what a dyno graph tells you!!? Swinging your leg over a bike that monstrous would FEEL like 80 horsepower now for the love of god can we have no more references to the horsepower...

I'm definitely putting 'ride kick ass 500' on my bucket list 

[Stusmoke]

I beat you to it buddy haha. I may even seek one out when finish Uni

Its worth writing on the list for sure. If you think 250's are arm stretching fast, your in for a surprise

Maybe I can be the first person to back flip with out a ramp

It's inevitable that I am going to do a 500 motor swap in something.  I may just be "different" and do a 550SX KTM motor in a newer KTM.  Those were supposed to clown on the Japanese 500s.

look at that jug.

The 550 into a 07+ ktm is being done currently. It is not even close to easy swap. The swing arm, frame and intake need considerable fabrication since everything is on the wrong side.

The Honda into a KTM is easy... Easier than the honda into a honda AF swap

true. it's backwards.

There is only so much power a man can take... a bored out 500? Really? Thats got to be absolutely monstrous.

[cnrcpla]

Just superglue your hands to the bars. you will be all set

Yea, the 550 KTM is supposed to trump the two Japanese bikes in brute power, according to MXA way back when.  I've never ridden KTM though myself.  How about a Maico 700?  100hp.



There is a guy on this website who has one.  Imagine what that feels like in 3rd on the pipe.  Slightly more bottom end than the space shuttle.
