Dealer Comments

This first year SR500 scream simplicity. One cylinder, 1 carb and kick start make it Yamaha's tribute to the classic ole school British singles. I always found it skinny, light and surprising easy to ride quickly. Like most singles, it starts on the first kick if you know how.This low mileage example is one of the few that haven't been converted to a cafe racer or some other personal expression. If you buy it, you can do what you want but I'd keep it true to 1978 period correct.This one starts and rides like new. It's been repainted and has minor imperfections but it hides them well. Its a rider - get out and enjoy motorcycling with any electronic aids or "techno-nannies". Motorcycling at its analog best!A new petcock was installed feeding a freshly rebuilt carb. The rear master cylinder got a rebuild as well. Both brakes were flushed. the tank and fuel system are clean and without issue. This big single is not for everyone but those that appreciate a return to the simple life will love the way it handles the back roads.
