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 has had just 2 previous owners from new. Upon inspection, there are service stamps relating to servicing at 600, 3000, 7940, 11250, 15000, 19922, 20641 and 21250. With the current owner since 2019, the machine has benefitted from a full service and new tyres in that time. The motorcycle is offered with a current V5C and MOT certificates from 2005. A truly iconic machine that appears to have been cared for since first sold.
