1989 Yamaha XT500 — a classic big-thumper that feels like a proper old-school dual-sport. I bought this one after a private restoration and had an electric start fitted, so you get the original character without the kick-start hassle. The bike still has that single-cylinder thump people love — light, simple, and willing to go places. It’s not a modern adventure bike; tires, suspension and brakes are checked and ready for a weekend of photo shoots and event appearances. The electric start is a practical upgrade, and the rest of the bike keeps the vintage XT500 charm. If you’re after a classic that looks and sounds right for a Dakar-inspired shoot or this fits the bill. Send a booking request or message me with any questions about pickup, gear, or location.
