version of the popular Yamaha XT500. It experienced good sales throughout the US, Europe
and Australia. The SR500 is no longer sold in any market worldwide, but it's sister bike, the SR400, continues to be manufactured in Japan. This is essentially the same bike as the SR500, but with a shorter stroke and heavier
muffler to pass tighter emission restrictions.
The SR500 was well received on conception, largely due to its contemporary styling and reliable Yamaha single-cylinder 500cc powerplant. The chassis and engine has served as a popular basis for many faux café racers, 'street trackers' and even bobbers. SR500's are raced competitively in historic class across the world.

Released in 1978, the SR500 was Yamaha’s attempt to cash in on nostalgia for the period when
500 singles were the preferred mount of serious riders. The SR500 eventually led to the
SRX600 and Yamaha now produces a 660 road single. Although, the reputation of the SR500
remains so strong, that Yamaha has continued to produce it both for the Japanese domestic
market (in 400cc form to take advantage of registration laws) and for the European market
where its popularity has never diminished.
The roaring seventies saw a breathtaking development: faster, bigger and heavier, the
motorcycle world seemed to turn around. The dream was made of multi-cylinders with
constantly increasing horse power. It was a fascinating development and most manufacturers
did everything to boost this mainstream fashion, when Yamaha turned around and seemed to go
backwards. Forgotten were the times in the sixties where big singles touched the heart of
enthusiasts. The famous British 4-stroke singles, such as Norton, Velocette, or BSA had died,
smoother and faster bikes, replaced them. They were less vibrating and so much easier to ride and the breed of big thumpers seemed to share the fate of the good old dinosaurs. No wonder the world was kind of shocked when the forgotten came back: the XT 500 brought back the steam hammer sound of a big single four stoke- and the world was prepared to listen.
