2005 Honda CR, in Red

HONDA CR500 AF

This is the holy grail of big-bore two-strokes — a genuine 2005 Service Honda CR500AF, hand-built by the godfather himself, A.J. Wagoner of Built500.com. Recently inspected at A.J.'s own facility, he confirmed it as one of his builds. We have the original Service Honda bill of sale, making this the real deal — not a home conversion. The AF name is trademarked by A.J., and no one builds them better. This example is a low-hour, unmolested survivor with tasteful upgrades, original factory components intact, and a condition level rarely seen in the wild. Engine & Performance Under the hood is a little extra punch — this CR500AF started life with Honda's legendary 491cc CR500 mill, but it's been bored 0.040” over to 503cc. That's 503cc of fire-breathing two-stroke power, delivering brutal torque and top-end pull that only a big-bore 500 can.
