None.
This is the best bike I have owned. Fantastic engine sound from the big single.
Some body bits are getting harder to find. Engine parts OK.
Bike handles well and is cheap to run. Would never part with it as I would probably miss the reliability and fun.
Rock on XBR500!!!
I agree with reliability except for the front brake. Has yours ever seized so that it rubs the disk all the time?
Bought an 85 XBR 500 early this year, the smile has not left my face since.
Reliable, easy to ride and fuel efficient - will go from one side of Ireland to the other on 1 tank of gas.
Real head turner - sound, looks, the big single with the 2 exhausts.
Easy to maintain, what more can I say... got to go for a drive up the mountains.
I also bought one as a winter hack. Nothing has gone wrong with it, although it is 22 years old. I am so impressed I have had the frame blasted and powder coated, and hope to keep it going for many years to come.
