Description from the seller

Yamaha SR500 2J4 “Ramblin Renegade” – complete rebuild – Custom Chopper

For sale is an extraordinary Yamaha SR500 2J4, first registered 03/1981, which has been completely rebuilt from scratch with great attention to detail and without regard to cost.

TheCustom bike bears the name:

“Ramblin Renegade”

This motorcycle is not a superficial conversion of a serial classic. The SR has been completely rebuilt anew and exclusively with new parts. Since completion, only 106 km have been ridden.

The goal of the project was to preserve the unmistakable character of the classic SR500 while creating a high-quality, independent chopper with timeless looks and carefully selected technical components.

High-quality new build

Great value was placed on details and clean technical execution during the build.

The list of used new parts, special constructions, and accessory components is so extensive that a complete enumeration here is hardly possible.

Highlights include, among others:

- high-quality aluminum milled parts on the engine
- Mikuni flat-slide carburetor
- K&N air filter
- accessory exhaust system
- special footpeg assembly
- custom handlebars
- custom tank
- completely rebuilt electrical system
- batteryless electrical concept
- Axel-Joost electronic box
- condenser instead of a conventional battery
- numerous high-quality detail and custom parts
- street-legal and registered

A particular focus of this project was not only to build an visually striking custom bike but also to have the major modifications properly registered.

The changes, including the footpeg assembly, handlebars, and tank, are registered.

In addition, a new main inspection (HU) has been carried out.

This differentiates the “Ramblin Renegade” from many pure show or custom projects.

Custom paint and seat

A special emphasis is placed on the appearance of the SR500.

The elaborate Paintbrush paintwork and the individually manufactured seat were executed by well-known artists from the custom scene.

As a result, a one-off piece has been created, whose handcrafted details only reveal themselves upon closer inspection.

Engine and technology

The technical build was also consistently tailored to the overall concept of the motorcycle.

The classic SR500 single-cylinder is complemented, among other things, by a Mikuni flat-slide carburetor with K&N air filter.

The electrical system was fully aligned with the custom concept as well. The motorcycle runs without a traditional battery and is equipped with an Axel-Joost box and a condenser.

High-quality aluminum milled parts on the engine and numerous other details emphasize the high effort of the rebuild.

Condition

Since the complete rebuild, the Yamaha has only covered 106 km.

As a result, the bike presents as a very freshly built custom bike.

The workmanship and the multitude of components used show that this project was not created with the aim of a cheap conversion. Rather, the SR was built with great effort, high-quality parts, and a lot of attention to detail.

The full list of all components used would be too extensive to list here individually. The numerous details of the motorcycle can also be gleaned from the pictures.

Conclusion

The “Ramblin Renegade” is a uniquely built Yamaha SR500 for enthusiasts who are not looking for a run-of-the-mill motorcycle.

The complete rebuild, the use of new parts, the high-quality technical components, the batteryless electrical system, the Mikuni flat-slide, as well as the custom Paintbrush finish and seat make this SR a true one-off.

It is especially important that the major changes are registered and a new HU has been performed.

An exceptional Yamaha SR500 2J4 Custom with only 106 km since the rebuild, ready for a new owner.

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.
