The Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation, more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The launch of the R1 (YZF-R1) in 1998 set a new benchmark for Superbike performance with David Jefferies winning the 3 main races at the 1999 Isle of Man TT.

On offer is a first-generation Yamaha R1 in mostly original condition for its age, it has some 29,000 miles displayed from new and with just 4 owners in that time. Purchased by the current vendor around four years ago he has used it very little in that time and most of the time it has been in the house on display. Run regularly, it is being offered with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates.
