Yamaha Motorcycles was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation and the first bike produced was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam, based on the pre-war DKW RT125. The single-cylinder XT500 launched in 1975 was Yamaha's first large-capacity four-stroke trail bike and dominated the early Paris-Dakar rallies with the SR range of road bikes following along soon after. The later SRX400 and 600cc singles offered a sleek café racer-style with the reliability of a Japanese bike and have become the basis of many specials over the years. The 400cc version was primarily made for the Japanese domestic market (JDM) and featured an electric starter that was sadly lacking on the notoriously hard to kick-start 600 model.
This SRX, being offered without reserve, is from the deceased estate of a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast and is the 400 model fitted with the all important electric starter. Presented in a standard and original condition, it was last MOT'd in 2022, however, due to ill-health, it has not been used much since, so it will need recommissioning before use. It is offered supplied with a pair of mirrors and a short Moto GP-style end-can that has never been fitted, together with current V5C.
