Here’s a nice example of Yamaha’s classic SR500. It spent years in a collection and the seller bought it hopes that he could replicate a SR500 from his youth. After he cleaned it up, he decided it was too nice to modify, so now it’s your chance to pick up a well-preserved, original bike.
For more on the SR500, check out this article on Motorcycle Classics. This bike (VIN: 2J2-000650) has 5,064 miles and it’s in impressive original condition. The seller says the only non-factory parts are the grips, and it is “pretty much immaculate” with the exception of some scratches on the muffler and some clearcoat issues on the engine.
