This bike has been preserved for over 30 years, and this is the last ride on its way to its new owner. The end of this video is not with the new owner, but a friend who would appreciate seeing it. It drove just like it must have 30 years ago. I have ridden an SRX since 1987 but have long grown past this original sensation, and I realize with other SRXs I have been riding, how far things have continued to evolve from this common starting point which I have appreciated all along and hope to not forget.

I'm still on the SRX600（Early model of the 1985 model year). I will continue to ride for the rest of my life.

yeah... when I sold my first SRX, I realized there was no other bike I wanted as much and ended up buying my second SRX which I would ride for over 20 years... in Tokyo... I am now on my 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th.

well honestly, it was a carefully well maintained bike that I had stewardship for a few years, and for me it was about conservation and mantenance of this well preserved specimen until its sale. I do have many SRX memories... since I have owned several.

Things have progressed but I'm now an old man, remembering when these came out (I had an RD then). I have an '06 Multistrada which is a relic in its own way too LOL. I'm looking at one of these with the Mikuni conversion kit.

Such a nice bike. The closest thing I can think of from recently to this bike is the mt-03 with the 660cc single from the xt.

@jmileshc Жыл бұрын

Interesting you say this, awhile ago now ;-) I sat on an MT03 & had an MuZ Baghira same XTZ660 Engine, the MT03 was ok, but compared to the SRX everything seems so big, fat & Lardy. Looking at modern 125's the SRX is similar in size. A modern paired down bike would be great.

@peter7624 3 жыл бұрын

Nearly bought one of these many years ago, but the one I rode just would not restart once the motor was hot. Apparently a common problem with them? Lovely styling and sound and taut handling on the road, otherwise.

@gregyermakov9206 3 жыл бұрын

I am 5'8, and I would think this bike is for ... people around my height... and... it is kick start only, now once you know the general method it is ok BUT it is an old model with some parts that are hard to get... and if you are familiar with basic bike maintenance and troubleshooting it is a fine bike, but if you are new to motorbikes... might be very frustrating. Also, I would imagine not too many contemporary bike shops would be familiar with this model anymore... so... there are limitations. You could request joining the Facebook SRX600 group to find out more though.

not unusual, but, vibration can break the bulb support... and shatter the loose bulb, which has happened on several over the years, hot glue from a glue gun can dampen vibrations...

you can get a decent one for around $2500, a very good one, preserved is more like $5,000. One that is not running but has potential, is around $1,000 if you know how to work on bikes, not a bad deal. But you need to know how to source parts, often no longer available. You can benefit from joining the SRX600 group on Facebook.
