New In Crate (in Germany) – 1986 Yamaha XT500

In Dual-Sport, Japan by Abhi2 Comments

Post-Listing Update: Despite 28 bids up to $14,754, this ‘new’ XT500 did not meet reserve.

The Yamaha XT500 was the original Yamaha thumper, and an instant sales success. This enduro bike was produced for 15 years, eventually leading to an entire range of “XT” bikes of varying displacements and cementing Yamaha’s reputation as a quality dual sport maker in the American and European markets. For all I know, this might be the only one that’s still in the crate.

I’m not really sure what you can do with this bike (VIN: 1U6202155) – is displaying the bike inside packaging even interesting? Still, find this XT500 (in Midnight Blue, for what it’s worth) for sale in Leonberg, Germany with bidding up to $10,101 and the reserve not yet met
