Nice XT👍 as young teenagers my buddy's dad had a TT and he specifically told his son
DO NOT TRY TO KICK START IT
which as being a young teenager that was a green light to try
My buddy hopped on it and started to try and kick it over about a dozen times then the notorious KICK BACK immediately made it self well known when it kicked back and launched my buddy right up and over the bars and onto the ground .I laughed my ass off as he was asking me WTF happened. Man ill never forget seeing that and we still 😂 laugh about him Goin airborne..
Good morning kap have a blessed day
I had a brand new 1977 XT500 - Loved it!!
great bikes. Really fun to ride.
Great start for a restoration!
I had the 82 in Florida. That bike was built straight from yamaha! Had 800 and some odd miles when I got it. Factory beads on both sides of the odometer. Fastest dirtbike I ever rode! That's the one I flipped and smashed my bottom 6 vertebrae. Glad mI still am able to ride my dirtbikes! Sharp bike kap
I had a 1981 XT500E for six years. I did four big tours of southern Europe from GB on it. Great bike. Nick
If I’m not mistaken the 1981 model is an XT500H, XT500E would be 1978.
@@patrickhenry7721you'd be correct, I have a 1980, and it's a G.
That’s a bad ass bike I had a 78 XT500 I loved it torque monster from hell very nice bike 👍🏻
Beautiful. It was the first winner of the Paris-Dakar. I have the model xt 600 of 1986
Flashing a piece on the lanes !
Good bless
Yes,
I owned a '78 XT-500 Enduro back in the mid. '80's.
It had that brushed bare aluminum tank also, but unfortunately, had a couple big dings in it!!
Later found a brand new NOS steel gas tank, the white/red/black colored one, at a local Yamaha Dealer for $25!
The gas tank was so cherry!
Also bought it with an Super Trapp pipe installed.
Brought back memories,
Thank you so much!!
Always ❤️ your videos!
Aloha, from Honolulu, Hi!
🤙 🙂 🤙
Awesome dream bike Yamaha XT500
She’s a beauty I thought that bike looked familiar. Rambo was riding a 81 XT250 in first blood 😅
You guys are the best. I cant say it enough. The love of bikes. Japan is way ahead of time in 70s 80's to 2001 Nowa days gov limits output
One of those cables are for the compression release
What a JEM ,and from a patriotic way of telling the story! That is a real 80s bike, sure love the 500s but there were many of these as well
JDM, perhaps.
Japanese Domestic Market, vehicles specifically made for the Japanese market. If an automobile, will be right side steering wheel setup, and usually a bit more performance to boot!
My all time favourite great looking bike and big bore thumper !!
Looks deadly , love the polished tank and decals !
Bee down soon 2 visit
.ROCK ON
These were cool play bikes.
No sissy electric start like today either.
I’d love one off these now preferably the short version , but there like hens teeth in Scotland now ,
My brother had an XT500, was black n silver, you could ride a wheelie on those things for eternity . Good running bikes 👍

Can't wait to see/hear those GPz/ blue Z1r get it down the drive-way!!
My buddies Dad had one of these back in the mid 90's, original owner, maybe 3000 Miles on it.. That thing was hard to kick even with the decompression lever.. fast bike, I had it to 95mph when I was 14! 😂
That thing looks awesome
Nice doc in it. If I cld find one in uk for the right price I’d have it , peace,
Dam they keep coming👏👏👏that’s an awesome bike
I had one of these converted to a road bike, did ok in the twistys
Nice work ! doin it justice . Love the second amendment . We are sitting ducks in australia ,but our top politicians have armed guards. Its a God givren right to defend loved ones family ,self and possesions. Brandish i say and God bless all of his sanctified people.
Nice classic, we’ve got a 1981 Yamaha XT250.
I rode a TT 500 some years ago it had awesome power😮
That’s awesome I have the same model of bike same paint and all but the sticker says it’s and early 81 year but awesome bikes for sure
I would love to buy that bike
Magic Bus, I want itt.

Hell Yes! Nothing worse than cowardly and brazen thiefs. If somebody wants something, they need to work their ass off for it, like everybody else. We have a huge lack of respect problem in our current times. People work way too hard for their property, and should never have to worry about some scumbag stealing their property. Take Care, Brother.
Wheely machine !!
That bikes got some patina on it 🤌🏽❤
Lovely .Was that not the model in Rambo ...First blood with 2 stroke dubbing .? What a bike man 😮😊Sorry found out was the xt250.😊

bought a new xt 600 in 1985, looked like a totally different bike in just five years.
Yes, the quirky '80's styling! Vehicles, clothing, hairstyles, lol! 👍
amazing bike reminds me of the Chase scene in Rambo first blood that was a 250 tho :)
OMGAWD! I loved this bike in 1980 (and the guy [Rick] who would do wheelies in front of me)! How much? Does it run????
