Picked up this one owner 1980 SR500 today. I've wanted one of these FOREVER! It was parked eons ago and the tank and carb was drained and the oil was changed just before parking it. The oil looks brand new and the tank, which is extremely straight and solid, is spotless inside. Kicks over with excellent compression. Showing 8611 miles from new.
While the engine was stored properly, it's resting place must have been very humid or something. The chrome has all seen better days. The seat and bodywork are solid and I'll probably even keep the patina.
Plans are to get it running again and do only bolt-on mods. Brakes and suspension upgrades are at the top of the list.
