Hey Rose, don’t mind the boys sense of humour. (Good though)

There may not be many members with either bikes. I haven’t riden them but from the little I know they are identical except for the larger displacement (engine size) achieved by a larger bore.
So if they are the same frame etc, I’d go for the larger engine.

You may not use the extra power all the time but, if you start with the smaller engine and find you want more, you’ll need to change bikes. If you buy the larger engine, 750, you’ll always have extra power when you need it and usually, as you get used to your bike, you will want more power because it’s more fun.

Also, I reckon the 750 will have a greater resale value.

Happy hunting and enjoy your new ride.

About the only reason you would choose the 500 would be if you needed a LAMS approved bike.

odeta , as I have never had a chance to ride the 750 or the 500 HD's. I would say take both for a long test ride, both in heavy traffic & on an expressway & also in twisties. Just so you know how they will feel in all the conditions you might have to ride them in.
you might find the 750 has a heavier clutch pull, but no way of knowing till you ride one.
good luck & post up your test ride experience.

Go the 750 - I found the engine to be much more enjoyable to use, especially if you swap out the pipe for a louder one. But as advised, ride both and go with what you like the most.

Only meant to post this thing in "Motorcycles Other". Not the 750 and 500 thread. My mistake.

What a ripper, frame’s probably no worse than the original. Those XS Yams had more wobbles than a belly dancer.

Hello Odeta Stuikys Rose,
You can buy any both are good.

My wife recently bought the 500, she still has P plates so needed a LAMS approved bike.
The other reason is the 500 has a much lower seat height & even with this she needed shorter shocks & the reach seat.

The 750 was a very poor seller, superseded 2017-18 models are available much cheaper than the 500. Bargain hard at the
dealer, they want to shift them as a new model is coming out.
They have twin front discs & better suspension, look better & go better.

If you fit on a 750 & are licenced to ride one there is no choice really. The 750 we get in Australia is the faster Street Rod.
