  • The first version of the R1 in classic Yamaha Red and White race colours
  • A very well looked after and original example, owned from new by the vendor
  • Supplied with the original owner’s manual, tool kit, 2 keys and a current V5C

The first bike produced by Yamaha in 1954 was the YA-1, but in typical Japanese fashion, this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. An immediate racing success, it began a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WorldSBK racing. The launch of the R1 in 1998 set a new benchmark for Superbike performance with David Jefferies winning the 3 main races at the 1999 TT.

This R1, in the most collectable classic Yamaha Red and White race colours, was bought new by the vendor in March 1998 so must be one of the first ones sold in the UK. Owned and ridden by him over the last 24 years it is offered in excellent standard condition including the genuine Yamaha exhaust system and comes together with its original owner’s manual, tool kit, all of its old MOTs and a current V5C. There are not many R1 that have survived in such original and standard condition and this early version will most definitely become a future classic.
