Description

Have you always wanted a motorcycle? Would you like to own a true classic? Would you like a cool old-school starter bike? Do you want a rad café racer? Are you smart? Do you want to look like a cool guy from the 80s movie? Do you want to have the reliability and brawn of a kickstart? If you said yes to any of these, then this is the bike for you. This is a 1979 Yamaha SR 500. The pinnacle of two wheel technology. This is a single cylinder motor, the best part is that there is only one carb to adjust and lucky for you, the carburetor was just cleaned in November 2022. This isn’t just some motorcycle this is a way of life. This bike deserves to be ridden as it is super fun and quick. If you are a tinkerer, then this bike is absolutely for you as you can dial it into your exact specifications. It only needs minimal upkeep and should last another 44 years. You could even convert it to a super traditional café racer or turn it into a fun off-road scrambler. The possibilities are endless. Now after the most recent carb clean, the throttle cable needs proper spacing, but I just don’t have the time to work on this beauty anymore. Once that’s fixed, she should be running perfectly again I will even throw in a weatherproof cover. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I feel the pictures show the true beauty of this amazing bike. Just got renewed registration and have title in hand. Can deliver if distance reasonable.
