The Honda XL500S'79 which sold in 1979 descended from a long line of Elsinores, although it was never called by that name. One color was available: Tahitian Red. The fuel tank and side cover stripes were black, red, and yellow. The control levers and kickstarter arm were silver (next year they would be black). The speedometer had a 100 mph (160 kph) limit. The front wheel was 23" while the back was 18". The exhaust was a 2-into-1 system. The engine was a 498cc OHC 4-valve single cylinder with one carburetor. The transmission was a 5-speed. The serial number began PD01-5000054. | The Honda XL500S'79 which sold in 1979 descended from a long line of Elsinores, although it was never called by that name.
