Nope, I traded that in this summer for a CBR600RR.

And i couldn't have done that without my EX...
did the ex hold its resale/trade in value?
Oh yeah.  bought it @ 3500, traded it for 3400 @ the Honda Dealer. it was pretty beefed up to! Rashed up lower from running to hard, scuffed up engine case cover from a tip over, broken brake lever, aftermarket pipes, windscreen, brake lines... i think i did well.

Well its my main bike, but not transportation. Once i get my ZX6R i will probably have to let this one go but......maybe not!! That will be a while though.

The way I wound up with EX-500's is because of my three kids starting to ride. I ride one of them at the track occasionally as an instructor bike but it's still totally street stock and license plated. I will street ride it, too. Re-sprung, it's a fun little bike.

My main street bike is a '90 CBR-1000F. Keep one EX-250 and two EX-500's primarily for kids. I still have an '86 Gold Wing that was primarily for two-up riding but will probably sell as I don't have occasion to ride two up now that the kids are on their own bikes. My track only bike is actually the newest and lowest mileage one, an '04 636. I just finished it up with new track plastics and paint a few months ago. It's a hot rod! 8) ;D

My '91 EX has taught me a ton. My daily rider is currently and '01 SV650S. I'll likely be parting with the EX soon. A co-worker of my SO just passed her MSF and is smart enough to not ride her husbands R6. Will likely get nearly what I paid for it. :)

race only.

AHA! So that's where the previous owner got the idea to drill god-awful-noise holes into the stock muffler endcaps! :eek:

My current ride is my '05 EX. I would like to get a cruiser for some longer more comfortable rides.

Mine is an 06 500

hey red-leg is that a c-50? both my parents sport those as their bikes, man are they comfortable any kind of distance for me on one of them and I think I could damn near fall asleep on it.

Yep, an '05 C50. Great bike, though I'm having a lot of fun on the wife's '89 EX500 lately! ;-)
