HI fellow SR500 aficionado's...
I hail from Melbourne Australia and have owned my 1980 SR500 since new. It just turned 25 a couple of months ago.
Apart from the windscreen and rack and a 1 tooth larger than standard front sprocket, it is stock.
It is low mileage and still runs like new, and I enjoy a quick
blast down the beach road which is just a few minutes from where I live. I have posted a picture of the bike.
Last year I succumbed to a dream and purchased another bike. It is a 1985 SRX-6, it is quite different to the SR500 . And I enjoy riding both bikes.
There is something about large singles that stirs the soul, maybe it is the sound! (a bit like heavy metal!)
Well I hope I am able to contribute to the SR Forum and looking forward to reading your posts.
Cheers, Mike.

Welcome to the forum. We have an excellent group of SR riders here who are all very knowledgable. I am sure you will enjoy it here and we look forward to hearing about your years on the SR. Owning it since new is remarkable. I always wanted one over the decades, even when others around here did not understand the appeal. I will probably keep mine forever. Drop us a pic of the SRX also. Luv those too!
