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.

Wed, 29 Dec 2010

This is the son of stunt riding genius Christian Pfeiffer, Hannes, who at the age of three can already do donuts better than you.
