I have decided to sell my beloved RD500. Making room for another classic bike.
It emigrated with its original owner from France in 2005.
I've owned it for 5 years. It's not needed any major work in that time but I did get the frame powdercoated by Redditch Shot Blasting. I've fitted Ivans needles to sort out the carburation and a UK headlight. It was set up by Krazy Kat Dyno and produces 70 BHP and 44 ft/lb torque at the back wheel (graph included with the bike).
The 2nd owner before me put on the UK clocks and found a set with practically the correct mileage on. I still have his phone number if you should want it. I still have the KPH clocks too.
Starts easily and runs perfectly.
Since I've had the bike I've serviced it every year, fitted new tyres, brake pads, chain & sprockets, spark plugs, black braided brake hoses, clear oil pipes and a complete stainless steel engine screw set. I have all the original hoses and fastners too.
The engine undertook a full rebuild by Stan Stephens at 21900 miles.
The Bodywork was re-spayed by Mark Cordwell in Derby, an RD specialist. All bodywork is genuine original Yamaha. Includes the stone guard and rear seat cowl which are often missing and cost a fortune to replace.
I have receipts for all the money I have spent on the bike and some from before I owned it. It comes with a ring binder full of receipts and history, the original owners handbook and 2 keys, which fit all the locks and the original tool kit including the line to hold up the fuel tank.
The bike won a trophy for 2nd Best Yamaha in the 2018 VJMC National Annual Rally and 3rd Best Motorcycle in the Bidford Vintage Gathering in 2019.
I'm in Bidford on Avon, Warwickishire, UK. Withing easy reach for the M5, M40 and M42. Viewing in person welcome.
Asking £18999 ono. Call me (Steve) 07552 627685.
