Description from the seller
This entirely original XT500 from the year 7-7-1987 with Matching Numbers is in excellent condition.
The tank is completely dent and scratch-free. A few parts such as exhaust caps and mudguard are powder-coated. Has a new seat cover. Front forks and the headlight rim are in very neat condition. Likewise the handlebars and chrome of the mirrors. The tank is aluminium, so no rust. The sticker on the right side cover has scratches from a boot during starting (kickstart).
The engine obviously shows signs of use, as it is almost 40 years old. And it is not restored. Completely original.
Michelin Sirac tires with sufficient tread. The chain and sprockets are in good condition. No oil leaks or leaking seals.
Everything works as it should: clutch, brakes and gearbox. Lighting, indicators, tachometer and speedometer also work as they should:
Ten years ago it was converted from 6-volt to 12-volt with a completely new wiring loom and ignition switch. The engine has also undergone major maintenance. Costs around €2000.
The engine was put away 5 years ago and will need to be checked. I didn’t get around to it, because now the 50th anniversary is being celebrated and I do want to thin my collection, so it is now offered. Restoring the XT to 100% working order will of course be arranged."

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
