Yamaha SR500 description

I purchased three motorcycles from an elderly friend recently. This 1979 Yamaha SR500, a 1955 pre-unit Triumph T110 and a 1971 Norton Commando. The Norton and Triumph will be listed on separate auctions. This SR500 is a numbers matching bike that starts easily, and runs, rides, shifts and stops great! All lights and blinkers work! The amateur paint isn't great, but the tank is straight except for one very small ding, and it is clean inside. This bike also has a clear title ready for transfer. This would be an easy bike to restore to stock or it would be a great foundation for a mild custom bobber or chopper. It is a great little bike that would be easy to finish and is quite collectible. It is being sold with no reserve! I can help load on to your shipper. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. Bike must be paid for in full within 7 days. PayPal is fine. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Hey guys, I listed this bike incorrectly as a 1979, it is indeed a 1978 and the frame I.D. tag says 10/77. Title also says 1978. If that messes anybody up, feel free to retract your bid. Sorry for the mistake!

Pedrosa: most wins, least successful

Wed, 11 May 2011

Should Dani Pedrosa win at Le Mans this coming weekend he will become the most successful rider In the premier-class not to win the coveted title. After his triumph in Estoril the Repsol Honda rider currently finds himself on 13 wins and in joint first and a win, at a circuit that sees him rank as one of riders with the most victories in all classes, would make him a clear leader. Joining Pedrosa at the top of the ranking is Max Biaggi and Randy Mamola, two riders who became associated with the number two.

1974: Onboard an MV racer with Phil Read

Fri, 19 Feb 2010

ANOTHER CRACKING BIT of vintage racing footage, this time featuring multiple motorcycle world champion Phil Read on the awesome-sounding MV Agusta 500-4.The footage is from the 1974 movie 'The Iron Horse' made by Frenchman Pierre-William Glenn.Read’s 1974 500cc World Championship victory was the last year a four-stroke won the world title before the advent of the MotoGP class in 2002. Giacomo Agostini won the crown from Yamaha in 1975, followed by Suzuki-mounted Barry Sheene in '76 and '77. The footage is bloody good, considering the camera technology of the day.
