I owned a 1980 XT500…. In 1981 when these motorcycles were affordable….!! Then George the loser Bush Sr with extreme pressure from the super losers at Harley Davidson signed the 100% Japanese tariff tax on motorcycles making them cost exactly double overnight….! These tariffs never help the consumer…. So who’s going to pay $12,000 bucks for this bike..? The dealers have left overs from 2022 and 2023 now on the XT250’s at $4900 to $5500 now…..
I had 2 xt500 and the xt600
Fantic caballero 700
Would love to see this hit the market.

no kicker?
Doesnt matter Yamaha won't bring it to the U.S. anyway . They won't even bring us the Tenere extreme ??? The European market gets all the goodies
Yeah that sucks. Seams like Europe doesn't have the EPA breathing down their throat. Hell they have more freedom😮
"if actually produced"
XR650R the best ever enduro bike from leader Honda
Согласен 👍🤗
Yea mate XR was good , but the XT500 in the same era won the very first Dakar ,123 in 1979 & 1980
Another top heavy lump of shite! When will the motorcycle manufacturers stop trying to capitalise on nostalgia and actually come with something new!
