Time comes for us all, and that’s especially true if you’re a motorcycle. Either a given model evolves to stay current, or it eventually falls by the wayside as expectations and regulations change. Take the Yamaha SR400. In late August, 2022, Thai Yamaha announced an extremely special, limited-edition 44th anniversary SR400, for exclusive release in the rare country where it’s still available as a new model.
If nostalgia is your drug of choice, then you’ll find plenty to appreciate about the Yamaha SR400 Limited Edition Black Gold. First of all, fans familiar with the SR400’s history will note the colorway—specially chosen by Yamaha because it’s the same colorway found on that first 1978 SR400 release. The classic aesthetic is sensationally crisp, if that’s your thing.
