Yamaha XT description

As a kid, I always dreamed of owning an XT 500, so when I saw this beautiful bike for sale on eBay, I decided to go for it. I rode the bike for a few hundred miles this summer and scratched that itch, so now I'm going to sell it for someone else to enjoy. 


I bought this bike exactly as you see it here on eBay last Spring. The previous owner told me he completely restored it and it looks like it. While he didn't provide me with any receipts of the restoration, you can clearly see that this bike is just about as close to "like new" condition that a 35 year old bike can be. 

I put about 200 miles on the bike this summer, and they have all been trouble free. Bike starts in 1-2 kicks every time and purrs like a kitten. Careful though, that's a 500 thumper and will easily lift the front wheel if you aren't ready for it. 

This bike will make a great daily commuter, trail rider or just to add to the collection. Everything works as it should. Tires are virtually brand new. 

Bike had one small dent in the otherwise pristine tank (seen in pictures) and a light scuff on the right side number panel that I did when throwing a leg over it. Bike is missing the small tool box and has a Supertrapp muffler. Bike is showing 3,600 miles but who really knows with these old dirt bikes. 

My reserve is well below the price I paid for it earlier this Spring. 

Winning bidder agrees to pay non refundable $1,000 deposit with 48 hours of auction close and remaining balance within 7 days of auction close. Buyer will pay for any needed shipping costs but I will do my best to facilitate however I can. Good luck bidding.

Riders who sweat in their leathers – and who doesn’t at a track day or race – know how nasty damp leathers can get if not dried properly. Of course, there’s always the tried-and-true technique of hanging them up in your garage, but that can take days. What if you only have an hour?

Rossi’s Ranch: Valentino’s Personal Playground

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

What does Valentino Rossi do when he’s not riding his Yamaha M1 around the best racetracks in the world? He relaxes at home in Tavullia, Italy, and rides motorcycles around his newly developed dirt track dubbed, “Rossi’s Ranch.” “It’s like a dream from when you’re a child,” says Rossi. “You hope at one moment you can buy your own racetrack.” It’s safe to say Rossi is financially stable enough at this moment in time to where he can make his childhood dream a reality.
