Classic 1978 Yamaha SR500 in good original condition.

This bike has covered only 12, 000 miles and is in good overall condition for its age. It starts, runs and rides very well. It has some age-related light wear and tear such as scratches and fading to the paintwork, dents in the mudguards and some corrosion, but only what you might expect from a 40-year-old bike.

Due to its age, it is tax and MOT-exempt.
