THE SR5OO: AN IDEA WHOSE
TIME HAS COME. AGAIN.
Do you ever think about those
big,beautiful, single cylinder, four-stroke
street bikes of the 1950’s?
Good. Because we’ve got just what
you’ve been waiting for.
We call it the SR500. And all the
things you loved about the singles
of yesteryear are alive again.
That one, mas-
sive, long-stroking

And since the engine’s so light 1
and narrow, the SR500 can take
curves and comers with supreme ease
and agility.
Our big single is very economical
and incredibly simple to maintain, just
like its forebears. Unlike them, however,
it gives you all the benefits of Yamaha^
innovative technology.
Starting it,for example,
will no longer strike fear
into your heart. A convenient
piston indicator window and
compression release lever make that
unpredictable kickback of past bikes a
thing of the past.
Other modem advances worth
noting: Front and rear hydraulic disc
brakes on lightweight cast aluminum
wheels.Breakerless electronic ignition
Oil-in-the-frame lubrication instead of
an external oil tank. Full instrumenta-
tion, including universal speedometer,
tachometer, resettable trip meter,

Of all the
500cc singles
that ever put
power to pavement this is the most ad-
vanced. But its classic design and
throaty sound are still there for you to
enjoy. Again.
