Aliso Woods MTB- New Favorite Trail-

Modern MX bikes are typically more technologically advanced, with better suspension, brakes, and electronics than the CR 500. They also have a broader powerband, which makes them easier to ride and more forgiving for less experienced riders. This means that even if a rider were able to extract the full potential from a CR 500, they would still struggle to compete with modern machines on a track like Glen Helen.

That being said, the CR 500 still has a place in the hearts of many motocross enthusiasts, and there are still plenty of people who love to ride and race these classic bikes. In the end, it really comes down to personal preference and what you're looking for in a motocross bike.
