1976 Yamaha XT500

In Dual-Sport, Japan by Abhi2 Comments

Post-Listing Update: Though the price was lowered to $8,500, this Yamaha XT500 (lovely as it is) got no takers this time on eBay.

Alright, I’ll preface this by saying the seller’s BIN price is a little nutty – but that’s what the “Make Offer” button is for. The Yamaha XT500 was the original Yamaha thumper, and an instant sales success. Immediately after its inception, the XT proved its mettle by winning the Paris-Nice and Paris-Dakar rallies, lending a tremendous amount of credibility to the bike. The only difference between the race bikes and production versions? A larger fuel tank, and a rear rack to carry tools and jerry cans for fuel.

This specific XT is an Australian model which has 19,000 miles on it. It looks to be in good shape, and everything works – but that price is just eye-watering. Find this Yamaha XT500 for sale in Urbandale, Iowa with a BIN of $9,500 or best offer
