Yamaha SR500 description

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.  That's the reason I'm selling it - just can't find the time to get on the bike.  It is a super fun ride, has been updated with lots of new parts - tires, chain, brakes, paint and a number of customizations and extensive restoration, and I don't think it needs anything mechanically.   I have not registered it in California, but I can work with whatever needs to be done with the registration.  I can deliver the bike in a reasonable area around North County San Diego and I had it shipped in a few days when I bought it from the seller on the East Coast, so that is an option too.  Thanks for bidding.

Tue, 20 Dec 2022

Tasteful mods and curvy miles are in store. Credit: Photos by Joseph Agustin (Lead Photo) Long-term test bikes aren’t something we normally do here at Motorcycle.com, but when Yamaha’s PR guy Gerrad Capley said I could take the MT-10 SP home after the press intro, it was an offer that was hard to resist. When I asked him how long I could have it, he basically shrugged his shoulders and winked.

Top Five Global Motorcycle Companies Ranked

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

- Honda Motor Company Limited - Yamaha Motor Company Limited - Hero MotoCorp Limited - Bajaj Auto Limited - Harley–Davidson Incorporation According to Research And Markets, who bill themselves as “The World’s Largest Market Research Store,” these are the top five companies of the global motorcycle industry, with data collected from 2006 – 2011. The study itself is several chapters deep and must be purchased (you can do so at the link above), but in short, Research And Markets have compiled a study observing the evolving global motorcycle industry, its competitive landscape, and the corporate and marketing strategies adopted by the motorcycle companies as some of the factors to have remarkably impacted the global motorcycle industry dynamics. Developing regions, such as Asia and Latin America, which perceive two-wheelers as a basic mode of transportation, are expected to remain the most promising markets for scooters, light motorcycles, and mopeds.

Produced in limited numbers, the 35th Anniversary Edition Yamaha SR400 offers an exclusive leaf green metallic color, special badging and, in an unusual gesture, a lower price than the base model. The original SR500 was introduced in 1978 as a street-focused version of the Yamaha XT500.
