1978 Yamaha SR500 (1978)
Engine is stock, except the carburetor, a mechanical slide instead of that thing with the "accelerator pump diaphram", the pipe is stainless; a true Thruxton bend for those of us who actually know the difference, and a K&N air filter. The cam chain was recently replaced and it was noted that the piston was a first over (which make actual mileage of the engine hard to know). The frame has been modified with limited steering lock, and cut at the rear to accommodate the Matchless G50 replica seat, the rest is stock. Clip-ons are Tomaselli, headlight is stock, with Omega Racer Gold Star replica mounts, tail light and reverse cone megaphone are EMGO products, the rear hub is from an XT500. The front brake master cylinder is Nissin/Kawasaki with a black stainless line that negated the brake light switch junction block.2016-07-19 04:47:08Austin, Texas, United States2115000

1978 Yamaha SR500 (1978)
Up for sale is my near mint 1978 Yamaha SR500. I've absolutely loved owning and riding this bike, however I'm moving to the mountains in Utah and it won't get the attention it deserves. It has always been garaged and has less than 16,000 miles on it (I have put 1,500 miles on it since I purchased it 2 years ago) and has less than 20 miles since its last service. Here is a video of a walk around: https://youtu.be/oFYYhUo6o3U The title is clear, the registration is paid through April 2017 and it comes with the custom vanity plate "SEVNT8". I have never had any issues with it and everything runs absolutely great.2016-08-03 04:55:19Beverly Hills, California, United States1512000

1978 Yamaha SR500 (1978)
This is a restored/modified 1978 Yamaha SR500, the famous street version of the 500cc thumpers also built for TT, XT offroad models. I bought the bike about 6 months ago from an Ebay seller on the East Coast who had just completed the restoration, and have since put 34 miles on it. The mileage is estimated - the new gauges and speedo read 34 miles.2016-10-30 04:41:15Carlsbad, California, United States264,800.00
