Yamaha XT description

I have purchased this XT500 and a XT550 together almost two years ago from a bike collector in an attempt to start my own.  The XT550 is being used daily, while, this 500 is in such pristine shape and so rare (in this condition) that I decided to keep it empty off fluid and covered in the garage.
