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!

2014 World Supersport – Phillip Island Results

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

The 2014 World Supersport season opened in dramatic fashion after a red-flagged restart turned the 18-lap race into a five-lap sprint, with MV Agusta making a triumphant return to the top of the podium for the first time since 1976. The Supersport event began with a hard-fought battle between three-time champion Kenan Sofuoglu, Kev Coghlan and Michael van der Mark. Sofuoglu and his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R held a slim lead over Coghlan’s Yamaha R6 and van der Mark’s Honda CBR600RR when the race was halted after CIA Insurance Honda rider Jack Kennedy suffered an engine problem and leaked oil onto the track.

The sudden and tragic passing of Tommy Aquino has hit the entire motorcycling community hard. In order to preserve and honor the spirit and positive attitude of the late Tommy Aquino, AMA Pro Racing announced today that a “Tommy Aquino Spirit Award” will be granted to an AMA Pro Road Racing rider who best embodies the spirit of the paddock during the 2014 season. The paddock will vote for the rider who exemplifies qualities mirroring those of Tommy including passion for the sport, fan engagement and team interaction. The award will be presented on behalf of Cortech and Shoei at the conclusion of the 2014 AMA Pro Road Racing season. “Over the past eight years we have had the pleasure of working with Tommy Aquino, but he was much more than just another Shoei athlete,” said Hiro Mizushima, President of Shoei Safety Helmet Corp.
