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. | The [[Yamaha]] TT500 model was developed as a desert race enduro machine.

The XT500 is a bike with great resources and it is very fun to ride. The bike handles very well and it also has a satisfying acceleration and great suspension. This is the kind of bike that you would encounter at the entering of a ranch and believe me: it belongs there. The bike was created to be exploited and it will give a very exciting off road experience. | The XT500 is a bike with great resources and it is very fun to ride.
