THIS FANTASTIC UK ORIGINAL EXAMPLE IS A VERY EARLY DELIVERY (MARCH '98) WITH LOW ENGINE & FRAME NUMBERS & HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A GENTLE 2 YEAR "REFRESH" - NOT A RESTORATION, BY PADDY SLUDDS (Those who know him or have had one of his bikes will know he does a superb, thorough job, as a genuine enthusiast who takes pride in his work) & CONSEQUENTLY IT NEEDS NOTHING, 100% FACTORY STANDARD DOWN TO THE REAR REFLECTOR, UNCUT MUDGUARD & EXHAUST & SCREEN.  HE HAS BEEN THROUGH IT WITH A FINE TOOTHED COMB LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED SO SHE STARTS ON THE BUTTON, QUICKLY SETTLES DOWN TO A QUIET TICKOVER & HAVING RIDDEN IT TODAY IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY - SLICK GEARBOX, REVS OFF THE CLOCK, BRAKES NICELY & AS ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME - I'M A BIT OF AN R1 GEEK HAVING OWNED WELL OVER 30 OF THEM & LIKE TO THINK I KNOW MY WAY AROUND THEM ... AND YES EXUP VALVE IS SORTED!As you can see from the last picture an absolute ton of paperwork/invoices with the service book (partly stamped by Fowlers), owners manual, Haynes manual, MCN 20th Anniversary edition of the R1, every tax disc, I think every MOT & a load more.  It has the tool kit, original Fowlers number plate & of course is HPI clear with print our for new owner.The condition is spectacular as you will see from the pictures/video & the only marks to point out are a paddock stand scratch on the RH side of frame (easily covered with some small gel protectors if it bothers) & the mirrors have the minor "honesty" marks (I can actually respray to look like factory new if required) OTHERWISE since putting it all back together with NOS OEM fasteners fixings where required & beautifully done refreshed paint where needed (it really is concours) & not being ridden since - there are NO CHIPS, SCRATCHES OR MARKS TO THE 100% PERFECT PAINTWORK ANYWHERE. Just look at the condition of the seats!There may be slightly cheaper ones out there but I really recommend you go & look at them & then see this bike.  In my humble opinion this is the best example out there at this price point & this is the model to get & it is 100% factory & the next lucky custodian will be over the moon with it.  Consequently the price is firm, if you look at my feedback I don't exaggerate & only source proper examples.miles & trly MINT condition.
