1977 YAMAHA TT 500 Rare Vintage Enduro Bike This bike is very well kept, meticulously maintained, and very lightly used. The Yamaha TT500 model was developed as a desert race enduro machine. Released as a street-legal version of the TT500 enduro machine launched the year before, this model became the pioneer of the big single off-road genre. It was the focus of attention also for the bold adoption for the first time ever of a forward inclining upside-down rear suspension on a trail model. It was on an XT500 that the Sonauto Yamaha team’s Cyril Neveu won the motorcycle division of the 1st Paris Dakar Rally in 1979. Cosmetically it shows minimal wear and tear for a 40 year old bike. It’s in jaw dropping condition. The frame rails are damage free. The entire bike is without any rust. Body, plastics, metals, footpeg, and handlebars are all in great shape and all original. It’s been well stored and kept in a climate controlled garage. There’s no mud or asphalt damage or debris on/under the body or on the engine.
