ahh thats a nasty confirmation code I feel 3/4 tanked reading that
a cr500 on methanol was an alternative to my berg I chickened out cause I didn't like the idea of high fuel consumption for trail rides. I bet the 700s use some juice too.
freind of mine said............. looks nice on paper...................... its still a maico

Hmmm....
Last I knew this is a Horst Leitner/ATK/Cannondale addition. There was a test done in one of the U.S. dirt-oriented mags a couple of years ago. My fuzzy-brained :scratch: recollection is that the bike wasn't as good as the same years dealer-built CR500.... Ah, one of you older guys must remember reading the article,too!!

I remember something to that effect as well. Seems like it was article on ATK importing those engines for their bikes. If I remember they were going to have three displacements available, 500, 620 and 700cc. They were manufactured originally for sidecar racers. I'll see if I can dig up the article.
Here's the ATK in question. They aren't listed on the ATK website anymore however.

Now that is an interesting proposition. During the summer months I was thinking what can I do to make an even faster supermoto. Although the berg is quick, pretty damn quick compared to most SM's out there, there is always the desire for that little bit more and I couldn't come up with anything light enough that would fill the gap. I seriously lookind into putting a RGV 250 engine into the Berg frame, Stan Stephens in UK can tune them to 70+ bhp with ease, I had one, but it was just too long due to being a V twin. A 700cc 2 stroke single has to be a monster of an engine. Unfortunately I can't imagine them being cheap, Taffy, your a side car man, can you get you mits on one?
