Description

This exceptional Yamaha YZF-R1 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, one-owner superbike from the golden era of litre-class performance. Finished in its period-correct factory livery, this machine remains largely unmodified, preserving the raw character and engineering purity that made the early R1 a benchmark in its class. Powered by a 998cc inline-four engine, the R1 delivers explosive acceleration and a thrilling, high-revving powerband, paired with a lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame for precise handling and outstanding agility. Its close-ratio six-speed gearbox and race-inspired chassis geometry offer an engaging and rewarding ride, whether on road or track. Well maintained throughout its life, this example benefits from careful ownership and consistent upkeep, reflecting in its clean presentation and great mechanical condition. With its iconic styling, underseat exhaust and analogue-era feel, the YZF-R1 stands as a true modern classic—an increasingly sought-after model among enthusiasts and collectors alike.
