1978 Yamaha SR500

In Japan, Standard by Abhi2 Comments

Every time I see one of the “new” Yamaha SR400s, it makes me long for seat time on the original. If you’re the same way, here’s your chance to snap up the 550th SR500 ever built.

It’s amusing to me that the NEW bike comes with a drum rear and tubed tires when the original had tubeless tires and a disc brake in the rear (though I do appreciate the spoked wheels of the new bike). I guess that’s progress?

This example (VIN: 2J2-000650) has just over 5,000 miles and is claimed to run great with the exception of sticky brakes. Flush and adjust them and then get on the road! Find this Yamaha SR500 for sale in Mercer, Pennsylvania with bidding up to $2,950 and the reserve not yet met
