==Overview== | |||
In the 1970s, [[Yamaha]] developed models for every possible niche in the market with the intention of beating [[Honda]]. This obsession drove Yamaha to the brink of failure, but it did create two excellent road bikes: the [[Yamaha XS1100|XS1100]], which had the biggest engine capacity of its day, and the basic '''SR500'''. | In the 1970s, [[Yamaha]] developed models for every possible niche in the market with the intention of beating [[Honda]].

Its faults were known and loved! The engine felt alive, you could enjoy the machine's vibrations and its fickle moods.The very act of kick-starting a big single made its rider feel like a true motorcyclist. The big four-stroke Single fills a similar role in European two wheeler culture as the [[Harley]] does in America. Yamaha succeeded in reviving the legend by offering a compromise of classic and cutting-edge style, a clean and reliable engine and up-to-date technology. In the German market, the SR remained the most popular motorcycle. Remarkably,in 1989 this market managed to get the original disc front brake replaced by a classic brake drum.This new nostalgic image prompted the relaunch of the SR on the French market in 1992. | Its faults were known and loved!
