1978 Yamaha SR500

This 1978 Yamaha SR500 is a Black Gold example that spent time in Michigan before its 2007 acquisition by the seller. Powered by an air-cooled 499cc SOHC single paired with a five-speed transmission, the motorcycle is equipped with a kick starter, a chrome-finished exhaust system, front and rear disc brakes, cast alloy wheels, a two-up seat, folding passenger foot pegs, chrome-finished fenders, and a side stand. Work in August 2026 is said to have included adjusting the camshaft chain, cleaning the Mikuni carburetor, and replacing the air filter and spark plug. Now showing 8k miles, this SR500 is offered at no reserve with a Missouri title in the seller’s name. The bike is finished in Black Gold with gold lettering and pinstripes, and it features a two-up seat, folding passenger foot pegs, chrome-finished fenders, and a side stand.
