Reasonably rare, not vastly desirable, worth $7800, looks pretty mint but you can buy some much more collectable bikes for the money.

$7,800 is a lot of money for a not that rare model that isn't especially good at what it's built for.  Seeing that I recently bought a clean MX360, a vastly better bike than the SC500 for $250, I don't reckon this is a bargain.

I wonder why he's got 250 class green plates on it?

You're gotta be kidding me. "Fully restored, excellent condition,"

That is a badly 'tarted over' POS. - I'll bet quids to peanuts it won't pass a close inspection. It's got El Cheap $150 road shocks - what self respecting rider/restorer would put crap like that on a MX'er :-\. All the polished highlights on the engine are painted over. We won't mention the wrong colour race plates - wrong for racing and wrong for OEM. What are the non-orinignal gaiter covering :-X.

"very fast unique, rare & collectable." Well, one outa three ain't bad  ::)

Hey fellow VMX people! I just acquired a pair of SC 500's one or both is going to find a new home). The Yellow one w/ the laydowns is for sale NOW (and the other one w/ the numbers on it will be shortly). All there & has good compression. $1200.00 obo. May trade for other VMX bikes or parts.
