The real feeling was to ride offroad....it was arealy great time..

I own a 98 California. It is my favorite motorcycle of all I own or have owned. It's an ugly duckling but it is comfortable in every way for me. I'm 6ft tall. All day rides are effortless. The rear brake is not a problem for me but I'm used to it so I don't even think about the nubbin.

I have my mint condition xt500 1977 for sale in Essex uk. £9000

Super-cool bike

How tall Is It?

I brought my XT 500D in 1977 as my first road registered bike. I commuted on it, trail rode it on weekends, travelled two up on it too. Only issue I ever had was premature wear of the top end, valve stems pitting, cam and rocker arm wearing too. Anyway I loved that bike and wish I still had it.

My '76 XT500 enjoyed this video.

Drove one 77' model from London to Athens back in 1979.. The best trip of my bike life!!!!

es la mejor moto que fabrico yamaha la XT 500 y la TT 500

I had one of these brand new in 77. Turned into a Supermoto long before that phrase ever existed. Would give anything to have a new one today for my stable.

Well he's clearly new to riding Moto-Guzzi's !

Wow best video ever of the reality of being out on the road with the xt500 i can relate i will soon have my 1978 Yamaha Dt175mx on the road i think i will take it into Germany nicer roads than the Netherlands 😊

What a beautiful girl ❤ I'm so sorry for your loss it never truly goes away even years later 💔 😢

Is she still with you? She is beautiful ❤❤

Pelle on Totta!🌟

Had a ride on a couple of these 40 years ago, always liked big singles, XT 500, SP 370 (which I think is comparable with the XT) . Just bought a Gas Gas ES700, wooah! Different kettle of fish altogether!

quelle belle balade sur une très belle moto. J'ai possédé une 500XT de 1976 à 1981 et parcouru de nombreux kms sur route et tout terrain sans problèmes, que de beaux moments passés sur cette moto de légende ! A cette époque nous étions 6 - 7 copains à rouler sur 500 XT (modèles 1976 et 1977) , on s'est vraiment amusés avec !

Taitavia poikia 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I love it !!!

What is the lifespan that most of y'all see with the Jaanese Chin? I bought my first Japanese Chin on August 10, 2023. I also bought a Shih Tzu that same day and they love eachother so much (thank goodness) 😊 Your videos have inspired me to make a KZbin page of videos with my 2 babies. It is wonderful to look back and remember them. My 2 Shih Tzu's died in 2017 when they were 16 years old, I wish I did these videos with them. I loved them dearly. I was so heartbroken when they died I did not get any other pets until August 10, 2023.

I bought my first Japanese Chin on August 10, 2023. I also bought a Shih Tzu that same day and they love eachother so much (thank goodness) 😊 The Japanese Chin has the most unique behaviors of any dog I have ever come into contact with 😂 Does anyone know HOW the Japanese Chin got their "cat-like" behaviors? Was the Chin around a lot of cats centuries ago or something??

🙏

It seems weird to me that there are a lot of XT500 and XL500S videos on youtube but almost nothing with TT500 and XR500. I felt that here in New Zealand the TT and XR were *much* more popular. They had significant'y more power, and lighter weight. Unlike in some countries, in NZ you could very cheaply add a mirror, lights, and number plate mount and be road legal. My first bike was a 1974 XL350, which was the big bore of the time. I got mine in 1980, and in 1981 and 1982 I rode it 200 miles between my parents' home and university (every term, not every day!). The XT/TT 500 came out a couple of years later with a little more HP but a lot more torque! And then a couple of years later again the new-gen XL/XR came out with a significant power increase. The XL250S was only 2 HP less than the XL350, but the XR250 was either 2 HP more (24) or 8 HP (30) more depending on what web site you believe. I *think* the difference came down to some countries (NZ probably) selling them standard with, and some (USA probably) without Honda's factory +5 HP kit. I had a 1980 XR250 in 1983. The original owner had raced it in local enduro events and it may have had more done to it -- I don't know. What I know was it was a rocket ship! I had friends with the Yamahas and we swapped a bit. I didn't get huge experience on them, but I do remember the TT500 being an absolute dream to wheelie from the moment I got on it. I don't know if it was just more torque right from down low or something about the balance too, but you just had to think about it and the front wheel was lofting.

what a beauty :-)

Kick all the way through the kick stroke…if you don’t and it kicks you back, you’ll need a pair of crutches…I’ve owned a’77 since new, trust me…ride safe! 🇿🇦🏍️👍

what exhaust on the california? sounds good. Also are the floor boards lowered?

Anybody else see the Moto guzzi eagle in the clouds at 1.04? 😮 No more beer for me ta.

We know she was the greatest of all time ninja warrior! ❤

Olispa mukava nähä Kai Laitista Pitkästä aikaa ja kuulla taas soittoa. Entinen ala-asteen opettajani. Siinä jäi kyllä koulu hommat kesken kun Kaitsu alko soittaa tunnilla🤣☺️ Kyllähän sitä oli mukava kuunnella. Kyllä siinä silti jotain jäi päähän vaikka blues soikin. Myös saatiin käydä välitunneilla soittamassa koulun musiikki luokassa. Kovilla pakkasilla oli oikein mukava olla sisällä ja soitella/yrittää ainakin soittaa. Musiikki aina ollut lähempänä ❤ kuin mikkään muu. Mukavia muistoja. Kiitos Kaitsulle että jakso "takoo" oppeja tähän päähän🤣👍 Toivottavasti vielä näkis miestä ja kuulis soittoa❤️☺️

Mistä lieneen vois bändin levyt ostaa ja jos tietoa missä treenaavat. Soolo kitaristi ala-asteen opettajani.

this band is so underrated its crazy sending love and hugs from israel

Kandee jatkossa laittaa noi kommentit englanniksi, niin muutkin ymmärtävät.

I have a quick question OK so I've been trying to find a reputable breeder that I could message and talk with. I've been trying to go through different people and I'm really scared about losing money because I know sometimes they're scammers. Would you mind if maybe if you have like send me a name or something or website, I could look up would be very helpful. Thank you.

We have a 13 year old Japanese Chin named Panda !! They make the BEST pets and BEST friends !!!

I ve heard only the Wind but not the thunder 😭

Nice Video! Really enjoy watching it

Precious Dora RIP. WHAT A SPECIAL FRIEND!!!!!!

Invest in one of these 1400 MG. They quit making them because they would not pass emission standards. These bike will be a classic. One of the few bikes out there that one can self service.

We have a black and white ,cute as a button Japanese chin .Yoshi just turned 12 on Nov 10 2022.Except for the black hair around his eyes turning white ,he still looks like a puppy . My son plays classical music and Yoshi love singing along . He chin spins and usually nothing bothers him except he guards the house across the street and if anyone comes or goes he does bark. Other dogs , squirrels ,bears he doesn't bother . We live in northern ont , there was only two chins including yoshi living in our area. It kills me time has gone so fast ,such a special breed. Yoshi will most likely be our last furboy, so hard when they pass away. Gorgeous little girl you have. Condolences, my heart breaks for anyone losing a pet. My son loves the breed I'm sure he'll adopt from a chin rescue .There are more japanese chins in United States in the southern states . Unfortunately most older people own them and when they pass their dogs go to rescue places that try to place them in loving forever homes . Take care

So beautiful ❤️
