Description

This 1978 Yamaha SR 500 is a notable first-year model with spoke wheels exclusively found on the '78/'79 versions. It boasts a slightly more powerful engine, initially rated at 33 horsepower before being reduced to 31.5 horsepower. Äke Ahlqvist traded in the Yamaha when it was still practically brand new to Z-Motor. Z-Motor utilized it as a decorative display model before it found its way to Yamahacenter. Unfortunately, due to Yamahacenter's relocation to smaller premises, there wasn't enough space to accommodate the bike, prompting an employee to take ownership. The current owner acquired the bike in 2014, following a comprehensive inspection and service at Yamahacenter. Since then, it has proudly graced their living room, maintaining its originality, including the 1978 tires. The inspection documents and overall condition confirm a mileage of 877 kilometers.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Before the motorcycle is ready to be ridden in traffic, it will need a fresh startup service and a new inspection/MOT.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice and undamaged seat.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bike is in exceptional condition, with no damages and all original parts intact. It retains a virtually new appearance. The only minor issue is that one mirror has become discolored due to sun bleaching of the protective plastic.

  • General condition:

    Acquiring a virtually new 1978 Yamaha SR500 with thorough documentation and the original sale brochure is likely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
