The more I look over the Trials 500, the more I see it as ... not so much a trials replica as having a utilitarian nature. I can see myself zipping through turns (especially uphill!) on scenic country rides .. or plonking through up-and-down horse trails and woodland fire trails. Since its air & oil cooled, I think I'd want the Hitchcock exhaust which is more free-flowing as well as being of much lighter weight. Also, if a guy rides it commuting I wonder if the bike might be less vibrating with the counter-sprocket bumped up an extra tooth? If there's room in the case to do it, I mean.
Right! Thats what I think. I really like this bike. I have a few bikes that are good on the highway... I want something for the country roads! Something to plod along for an hour or too. Everything I have read about the vibration, they say it smooths out once it is broken in.

I wish people would look into the history of the 500T and stop comparing it to modern bikes.

The Trials bike is far far from being a cruiser. I own one & i've had cruisers as well. They have nothing in common with my Bullet Trials 500.
