Is March Madness all about RZ350s and RZ500s? It sure seems that way to me, given the number of fantastic Yamaha smokers we have seen pass through these pages recently. I hope you are not sick of these rare two stroke models, because here is another 500cc monster looking for a new home. When it rains it pours, and it is raining collectible motorcycles of the ring-a-ding-ding variety. Read on for info on this good looking RZ500.
1985 Yamaha RZ500 for sale in Canada
From the seller:
1985 yamaha RZ500, 7,500 original kilometers, (4,700 miles) original tires, some small blemishes.scratches, minor dimple in blue on rt frnt of tank, dent on rt muffler, fluids replaced, petcock rebuilt, carbs needle & seats, very clean bike, still has the guard on the front of the belly pan, see the pics ask questions, thanks
the bike is in B.C. Canada 1/2 hour from the Sumas WA border and one hour from the port of Vancouver
Because these big RZs were never officially imported into the United States, the majority of them have come from north of the border. In the case of this bike, it is located on the west coast of Canada, near the State of Washington. Unlike other RZs that already live in the States, the buyer of this machine will need to properly import it before attempting to register it in any US state. Californians likely need not apply – unless you know something or someone the rest of us don’t. Bidding is up to $8,000 USD with reserve still in place. Check it out here.
Good luck!

There seems to be alot of RZ500s for sale on ebay for not being officially imported into the U.S. Lately more RZ500’s than stockIish RZ350’s. Wish that was the case with Suzuki RG500’s.
