Description

XT 500
Registered in USA 1979, imported to the UK in 2018. Now has an age related UK plate, with historic vehicle declared on the logbook. Import paperwork available.
Possibly the lowest mileage example in the UK, (1675) this 47 year old machine has not been restored, and in my opinion presents ‘as new’.
Now has a Rex’s Speed Shop 12 volt ignition upgrade.
Recommission recently completed and now fitted with a new TM 36 carb, (original carb retained loosely assembled) sports air filter, new fuel tap, handle bar screen, 42 tooth rear sprocket, narrower handlebars, rear helmet case, 12 volt bulbs, and rear led light. Two sets of keys, paddock stand and workshop manual.
All parts removed have been retained, including the ‘knobbly ‘ tyres, inner tubes, bead blockers, and air box. Now fitted with new road tyres and inner tubes.
These iconic machines famous for their off road capabilities is now set up for my use as a road/ mild off road bike.
In summary, an excellent opportunity to own and ride, with all parts available should you wish to return back to original/ use off road, or put away for future capital gain.
* Would consider exchange for Classic Mini with £ adjustment.*
