The '''Yamaha SR500''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Yamaha]] from 1978 to 1981. | |||
In the 1970s, [[Yamaha]] developed models for every possible niche in the market with the intention of beating [[Honda]]. This obsession drove Yamaha to the brink of failure, but it did create two excellent road bikes: the [[Yamaha XS1100|XS1100]], which had the biggest engine capacity of its day, and the basic '''SR500'''. | In the 1970s, [[Yamaha]] developed models for every possible niche in the market with the intention of beating [[Honda]].
