What makes a bike collectible? Well, being the first production road racer from a multi-world-championship-winning motorcycle manufacturer can’t hurt. The YDS1R was Yamaha’s first production road race bike and based strongly on the factory example–and which also lead to the TD1. The YDS1R was originally a kit intended to be fitted to a stock YDS1, the kit enabled the bike to produce 30hp with a top speed of just over 100mph but was also a serious race bike in terms of maintenance and tuning. Yamaha later offered the YDS1R as a complete bike and followed it with a YDS2R before finally releasing the TD1. Read more about the YDS1R here.
The bike for sale here looks to be in outstanding condition with a 1st place trophy from the now defunct Legend of the Motorcycle Concours d’Elegance. Here is what else they list in the ad:
