Gorgeous candy red & black liveried Blade with Yoshi end can (doesn't come alive until after 8,000 rpm!). Superb condition & RARE in this colour scheme. I've had some fun riding it this week 😁

(NOW SOLD) Walk around with engine running (but dubstep background until 2:47 if you want to hear engine revving WITH SUBDUED DELKEVIC RACE CAN) of this beautiful modern classic, last of the carb models in my favourite livery but I know a lot of you like the red instead...each to there own 🙂 FOR SALE SEP 2020 £3,250

(NOW SOLD) Walk around & start up of this amazing machine. So many sold as such a popular bike & bullet proof engine but very hard now, to find a gen 1 with these miles & factory standard, yet alone this glorious colour. The gold metallic flake really pops in the sun. Great bike for someones collection, literally about as new as you can find for a 21 y.o. Bandit!

(NOW SOLD) - £2,995 AUG 2020 - Getting collectable already - so with this low mileage, originality & excellent overall condition (not concours but very very good) a superb modern rapid classic with all books, keys, history, invoices etc.. Rides as well as it looks & owner is a friend of mine so I know it's been loved & nurtured by a mature careful individual. See more on phmotorbikes.com or look me up on Facebook - just search "Purple Helmet Motorbikes". Link to decent photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JcT35sTE28cPxj389

SOLD SOLD SOLD within a few minutes...sorry..What a bike, concours condition, ridiculously low GENUINE mileage, very last of the carb models being a 2002 with the latest livery decals that extended onto the tank which really finished it off. Having owned 20 R1's now (and there will be more because they are my fav rice burner) including my 1st own bike a red & white "4XV" which is why I love them....this is the best looking livery for my money they did of the 5JJ especially with the COMPLIMENTING blue tinted exhaust. The 4XV's are worth more money for now, but again IMHO the 5JJ is a better bike...better looking (slightly tweaked) & a better ride (slightly tweaked) & in this YAMAHA purplish blue is just to die for. I love the "slash cut" rear lights alone. I know the "rivet counters" will spot: 1. Braided hoses (well they look better & work better) 2. Carbon fibre chain guard & heel plates (easily sourced & changed back) 3. Couple of other "bling" bits simply rectified BUT this is one special example that is truly mint & still rapid today - what's the price of a new one now & how many people can genuinely use its power. This is a true classic with no rider aids, looks to die for AND an appreciating asset that is still v rapid....riding home from the photographs today & I turned the taps on...front wheel going NORTH...I LOVE THEM 😁 Photo still shots & close ups here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/dp79cBGXGNFahdkZA
