I bought my XR500RD new in 1983. It was imported from France to the UK. I think it differs from the American version in that it is fully road legal. It has a horn, brake light, and high and low beam head light. I now keep it in France for summer use. It is in original condition with the exception of the addition of road tyres and rear foot rests. My brother also has the identical bike from new which is in similar condition.
