Good day, at the moment I’m thinking about buying an SR500. Now I had one of the very early specimens when it came to the market. Small headlights, bench with plastic brush. I sold them again after a year because the urge for larger machines was overpowering, but the SR never let me go and over the decades I still had some SR and XT500, which sold over and over again. But for a few years I’ve become quieter. One of these origins that I drive, however, has only 50 cubic meters and is an open mini-wheel. It runs fine, but I’ve grown out of it, too old, too big and too heavy, after two or three hours on the machine I’m done, have knees and back. That’s why I’m browsing through the classifieds and looking for XT and SR. Since I just want to spend that the mini-wheel brings in, fall down. n the XT away and only the SR are still on my mental note. Which I should now consider closer, from the feeling I tend to the original version, but reason says that a later model would be the better choice but I don’t like the smaller front wheel with the drum brake. I also screwed on SR and XT and was able to do all maintenance work and most repairs as they occur. Best regards Willy
