From the seller: “Yamaha XT 500 N – barn find – no reserve!
Mileage: 39,631km = 24,625 miles (approx)
Imported from Austria with Austrian type certificate document (bike frame and engine numbers are matching and evidenced on paperwork) and includes UK NOVA submission (this is to show no tax or VAT is due) and will make it easier to register in the UK. There is currently no MOT on the bike as it is unregistered in the UK.
The bike is in relatively good condition for a 35 year old bike, with little to next to no corrosion having come from the dry climate of Austria. The bike has been in storage for some time, it is hard to start but does run. When running it does go through all the gears and pulls really well. It also has really good compression when kicking over. Obviously it could do with a service as it’s been standing a long time – spark plugs, air filter and new fuel etc.
I myself have done nothing to the bike, it is exactly as it came from Austria. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to put the bike back to original condition.”
