Yamaha SR500
In 1978, Yamaha Motor Company introduced the Yamaha SR500. It was an air-cooled single-cylinder motorcycle with seating for two. It was for sale until 2000. Most people looked at it as a street version of the Yamaha XT400. It was sold across the globe from Asia to Europe to North America. The engineers and designers of the Yamaha SR500 created it with the intention of making a bike that was “easy to use.” Even though Yamaha discontinued it by 1981, it continued to be on the market for 18 more years.
