- Launched to critical acclaim in 1998, the original Yamaha YZF-R1 redefined the one-litre class sports bike category. With its compact design, radical engine positioning and light weight, the R1 combined blistering performance with razor-sharp handling
- For the 2000 model year, the 5JJ update introduced a host of detail refinements, including revised fuelling, stronger gearbox internals and updated styling. The result was a more refined yet equally thrilling machine, and one that has since become a modern classic in its own right
- Dating from 2001, this example has been much admired in our vendor's collection and presents superbly having obviously been well cared for
- It's supplied with both keys, owners and service manual, rear seat cover and a folder of old MOTs and invoices
- Unused since the last MOT expired in July 2024 so may require light recommissioning before returning to the road
- Described by the vendor, who is reducing his collection, as 'running well', it's UK-registered on a current V5C
- With early R1s becoming increasingly sought after by collectors, especially in this condition and mileage, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the landmark superbikes of its era.
