Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a 25-year-old motorcycle, the primary focus should be on the effects of inactivity. Check for any signs of fuel system degradation or gumming in the carburettor, as these are common in bikes that spend long periods stationary.
Verify the service history to see if oil changes have been performed regardless of mileage, as oil degrades over time. Check the battery health and the condition of the tyres, as rubber compounds perish with age even if the tread remains deep.
The 499cc single-cylinder engine is designed for simplicity and reasonable fuel economy. Insurance for a classic Yamaha of this era is typically affordable, and the road tax band for this engine size is low.
Maintenance costs are generally modest due to the bike's mechanical simplicity, though sourcing specific original parts for a 1999 model can occasionally impact costs. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to modern larger-capacity motorcycles.
Inspect the fork gaiters fitted in 2022 to ensure they are in good condition and providing adequate protection to the fork seals. Carefully examine all rubber hoses and seals for cracking or perishing, which can occur when a vehicle has low mileage and high age.
Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are moving freely, as inactivity can lead to seizing. Finally, check the chain and sprockets for signs of surface rust that may have developed during periods of non-use.
This blue 1999 Yamaha SR500 presents with remarkably low mileage of 8,992 miles. The MOT history for 2022 and 2024 shows passes, with the most recent test recording no defects and the 2022 test noting the fitting of fork gaiters.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Yamaha SR500 to provide a statistical reliability benchmark.
