Re: 1978 SR 500
I think its fugly to be honest, and this line in the ad summed it up for me:
'The tires are not Goodyear.They are Kenda Challengers.The lettering is there to add to the period looks.' WTF?!

Re: 1978 SR 500
The look is unique, to each his own. Love the clutch and throttle cables just dangling between the bars and the engine.
Re: 1978 SR 500
Perhaps the owner/builder wanted to pay tribute to KR's tz 750 flat tracker beast. Need a little more than paint to get there however. Good luck to the seller and hope it finds a good home.

Re: 1978 SR 500
Yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But WTF is with the garden hose length cables & why oh why take a decent looking classic SR paintwork, and muck it up to hell & back with a retro Yamaha yellow & black paintjob? At least he has the stock bodywork one could throw the yellow parts in the garbage or hang from the garage wall , they would certainlly look better there.
You see that paintjob on many specials, but more often than not, it just does not work out. My opinion of course, someone may buy it & just love it to death.
