SUMMARY
This is an attractive, low-mileage example of the rare XT 550, which appears essentially original. A capable, dual-sport adventure bike offering great fun off-road or indeed, a solid addition to a collection of classic motorcycles.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1982 as a replacement for the popular XT500, however, sales were poor and the XT500 continued in production for a few more years
- It was powered by a 558cc four-stroke single offering 38bhp through a five-speed transmission
- Notable features include electronic ignition, a four-valve cylinder head, cantilever arm with central spring strut under the tank, 12-volt electrics, and a pioneering two-stage YDIS intake system
- This smart example is on offer from our vendor's extensive collection and has covered an indicated 6,208 miles
- Reported as running, although with little recent use it may need some light recommissioning prior to returning to the road
- UK-registered with a current V5C
- Only in production for a short time and consequently they are now rare
