Record price for Yamaha XT500


Yamaha XT500

If it's desirable and in the original crate, there is no telling what it will fetch!

(Guy 'Guido' Allen, October 25, 2025)

From our auction madness department: a 1988 Yamaha XT500 still in its crate, and appearing to be in exceptional condition, was this week sold by RM Sotheby's in Europe for Au$150,000 (US$98,000, GB£73,000, €84,000).

In Australia, the XT was discontinued in 1982 and at that time was listed at Au$1800 (US$1200, GB£900, €1010).
