The Yamaha SRX600 is a cult classic, but it started as a commercial flop. In the US, it sold for just one year, and it was during a time when American riders valued power above everything else. A relatively light weight bike with a 41 horsepower motor just didn’t cut it – but for riders who can appreciate the styling, handling, and the nostalgia of having to kick over the 595cc single motor, the SRX is a rare, interesting classic.
Basic stats of the SRX include 41 horsepower, a top speed of 106 miles per hour, and a wet weight of 387 pounds. For more information, check out this retrospective on Sport Rider (hosted on Cycle World) in which Dean Adams calls the bike misunderstood and says “by almost all definitions, the SRX is a fantastic all-around motorcycle.”
This bike has 13,725 miles and the seller of this bike is the third owner – he’s had it for 22 years. It’s been upgraded with Keihin CR Special carbs, a Supertrapp exhaust, Gold Valve fork emulators, LED lighting, steel braided brake lines, a stronger clutch, custom clip-ons, and a custom fiberglass tail tidy. The seller has most of the original parts.
