1976 Yamaha SR500

Sad to see this go but unfortunately student loans, two jobs, and clueless Prius drivers are making me sell. What your looking at is mostly a 1976 SR500. Call it what you want Brat style, Cafe racer, Rat rod, Thumper, Harley Sportster Beater. This is a no frills stripped down mostly motor kind of bike. If you can't kick start a 500 single, I'm sure theres an electric start something with clip on bars out for you somewhere. On with the bike: Bought it in Colorado. Bike has been up Pikes Peek and was part of the Pike's Peek Cafe Riders Club. Front end is off an xs650. Motor is off an XT500. The bike has been thoroughly gone through and rebuilt or upgraded over the past few years. This is not a showroom bike. It has been ridden and has its fair share of paint kicks and scratches. This thing is light and fast.

Trying to get 4000 to pay for my fire academy. Will accept reasonable offers. Thanks for checking it out

Thanks man. Was my main project for a year or so

 

good lord why cant you be in florida!

 

Haha thanks. I'll let you know if I have any cross country expeditions coming up!

 

Give it to me for free or I'll report you for trespassing wherever you were trespassing in the first photo lol

Jk man, awesome looking bike! Free bump.

 

That thing is bad ass!

 

I've never had an interest in motorcycles in my life, until now.

 

Buda pest yeah the frame hoop was welded onto the original frame. I appreciate the comments dudes!

 

That's what I thought. If it weren't cross-country, I'd already own it!
