SOLD -1998 YAMAHA R1 VERY ORIGINAL
*** 1998 1st YEAR YAMAHA YZF R1 WITH SAME OWNER SINCE 2000 & IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION ***
 
>>> Part exchange welcome - low miles though <<<
 
THIS IS THE COLLECTORS R1 TO HAVE AS VERY 1ST INCARNATION WITH THE HUGE GRAFFITI STYLE "YZF" LOGOS ON THE FAIRINGS
WHICH WERE VERY SOON CHANGED SO THESE ARE THE RARER & MORE SOUGHT AFTER MODEL "4xv"
(and as the saying goes "they are only original once!")
 
THE VALUE IN THIS PARTICULAR R1 LIES IN THAT....
THANKFULLY OWNED BY THE SAME MAN SINCE ALMOST NEW IN 2000 AND ONLY DONE 21,000 MILES
IT IS THEREFORE BEAUTIFULLY ORIGINAL EVEN DOWN TO THE EXHAUST & INDICATORS
NO FANCY RACE CAN, MINI INDICATORS, STICKERS COVERING SCRATCHES OR IRIDIUM SCREENS OR FANCY BAR ENDS HERE THEN!
 
I HAVE PILLION SEAT AS WELL BUT PREFER IT WITH THE RARE ORIGINAL SEAT COVER ON
 
SO IT HAS JUST HAD NEW SPARK PLUGS, CARBS OFF AND ULTRASONIC CLEAN THEN BALANCED
WITH NEW BREATHER HOSES AND GAS TESTED
MOT UNTIL AUG NEXT YEAR & NEW SPROCKETS & CHAIN 
SO THE EXPENSIVE BITS ALL DONE
 
I HAVE OWNERS MANUAL, LOTS OF OLD MOT'S & BILL FOR CARB WORK JUST DONE
OTHER THAN THAT THE LAST OWNER DID HIS OWN SERVICING AND DIDN'T KEEP RECEIPTS
HOWEVER IF YOU SEE THE CONDITION AND HEAR THE ENGINE YOU CAN TELL SHE HAS BEEN 
LOOKED AFTER ALL HER LIFE AND THE OLD MOT's PLUS A CLEAR HPI REPORT BACK UP
WHAT A LOVELY GENUINE, ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED R1 THIS IS
AND VALUES ARE ALMOST RISING BY THE MONTH
 
THE ONLY MINOR MINOR FAULT I CAN FIND IS A HAIRLINE CRACK ON LEFT HAND SIDE OF REAR SEAT COWL JUST
BELOW THE SEAT EDGE THAT I HONESTLY DIDN'T EVEN SPOT UNTIL DETAILING HER 
BUT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES, SCRAPES, DINGS
OR ENGINE CASING GAUGES ANYWHERE JUST SOME 21,000 MILE STONE CHIPS TO THE FRONT FAIRING
WHICH ARE TO BE EXPECTED & ONCE AGAIN BACK UP ORIGINALITY
 
A TRULY LOVELY STRAIGHT RARE EXAMPLE THAT DESERVES A GOOD HOME - I HAVE BEEN SITTING HOLDING
ON TO THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO SELL HER - I LOVE EARLY R1's Especially when original
