My first bike was a used one just like that To hear that again brings back a lot of memories

Sounds great.........for the track. Obnoxious for the street.

Sounds great! I'm thinking of an XKR to replace my Chimaera, and want it to sound almost as good. Where was your exhaust from?

Better condition than mine but eventually I will sort it out 🤞. I had the good luck to come across a side casing with good pickup coils which I believe is the number one cause of death for these lovely machines so I have a spare 🙏. Mine is currently waiting for the wheels to be respoked. I got a CDI unit from a guy in Belguim which solves a lot of issues. You can programme it from a laptop to suit what you want.

Look at that go for a 70s bike fuck nice

The low rpm sounds exactly as my 125 Yamaha DTMX

Look like a ring neck pheasant!

Para ésta misma época HONDA pasó del modelo XL350 a la XL500. Éste motor era mucho mas suave y la XT, no vibraba y el encendido era mas suave. Lo malos fué que traía un tin de 23" y la frenada con la rueda delantera era riesgoso. Pero Yamaha logró hacer un motor mucho mas duradero al colocar balineras ( rodamientos) en el árbol de levas, mientras que Honda usaba casquetes que se deterioraban con alguna deficiencia en la lubricación.

Espectacular!!!! Tuve la culpa de disponer de éste primer modelo que llegó a Colombia en 1976. Éste modelo no tenía el visor en la culata y que posteriormente fué común. El ruido que produce la moto fe éste video no corresponde al original, pues ese era música!!! Aquí se escucha mal. Saludos ( Deseo no incomodarle)

absolutely love the bike! but the rider is a complete dumb ass!!! riding in between the traffic? whats wrong with you? im suprised that bike is still in one piece!!...learn how to ride in traffic dude!!!

Same as my 250 only blue n white.

If that doesn't prove just how suicidal pheasants are nothing will

Well that was painfully slow

Unfortunately not the 77 Tank, bit beautiful mashine!

A Lambretta would be quicker on the way up 😂

This makes me miss my old ‘74 TM250!! Great video! Thanks for Sharing!!

How much and are you in uk can delivery been arranged if i was to buy it

Not really the best vehicle for this. You need something lighter with a shorter wheelbase. Look how easily the biker overtook him at the start 😉

Quite apart from the bike, it’s absolutely lovely to see some beautiful English country roads. Nothing better than a bit of good old nadgery 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Lucky guy! 👍😅

I never could understand why a creature gifted with the power to actually fly, chooses to run along the ground in front of the bike 😂

Low RPM

What a beauty 😍. Sounds so smooooth as well. Tks for sharing.

old Bike 👍😎

I had the little brother DT175 :( , as I remember the XT500 was quite fast at pulling away from the traffic lights !

Preciosa moto!

Is this a right or left hand drive bike, and if so, when was it converted?

Had one in the early 80s and loved it. It was a wheelie machine with about 1 to 2 kilometre range before the oil from the crankcase would get sucked into the engine and then lose power. In your next video you should show the starting sequence with the decompressor and a few kick-backs for us old guys to reminisce.

He didnt show the starting procedere

Where's the footage made these roads are nice

Whoop!

Whoop!

First…. Also looking to purchase this beauty… 🤞

Where are you riding this bike??

Sweet bike

Had one 1978 what a cracking bike wish I could find one.😁

What is the top speed? 🛵

Hey I have a question about the pipe if you could reply about what that pipe is I would be more than greatfull

Poor ole birdo baby

I know exactly where this was filmed. I've ridden those roads on an XT500, too. Late 80's, ink still wet on my license, plodding all over the South West not needing to change gear. Wish I still had that bike. Lovely to see one in such good knick.

Missed her so badly, but i was lucky, found one in mint condition with 77km from 81. A Yamaha Seller had her all these years in his cellar ! I was nearly crying when touched her first time since 1982-1988.

Man you're engine braking that thing too much for my liking

I have had 2, missed my dirt thumper, so i upgraded, xt550, i like it better only for the suspension.

The gas tank is the same as the one on my '76 XT500.

what gas tank did that come from or is it stock?

super et la musique en plus,nous faisons souvent les lacs en cab xkr

Its not untill you use XKs on long road trips you will never understand how good they are dont lay them up dont worry about mileage just enjoy them and make memories

Dicing with a pheasant. Gotta love that. One thing I always hated about Suzukis was the ding, pop, ding, pop, ding. They just couldn't run smoothly. The TS 185 was the worst for that. I hardly ever saw a TS 125 in New Zealand as they were such garbage, no-one bought them. Still, nostalgia deems we must remember the good and the bad.

Sold ?
