1975 Yamaha XS500

The 1975 Yamaha XS500 is a distinctive, vintage motorcycle manufactured in Japan and originally registered in the twin cities of Minnesota, specifically, Buffalo. First introduced in 1975, this bike boasts a powerful yet compact 498cc DOHC parallel-twin engine hooked up to a five-speed transmission. Unlike many of its peers, this XS500 comes equipped with both kick and electric starters, ensuring reliable ignition even in varied riding conditions. Adorned in original Baja Brown color, the bike features Keihin carburetors, an eight-valve cylinder head, and a chrome dual exhaust system that contributes to its bold aesthetic appeal. Notably, it was recently acquired by a dealer in 2024 from its alleged first owner, further adding to its character-rich history.
