Sorry folks, this one has actually been sold for some time. Their website is a bit tough to navigate and distinguish what may be available. Sorry for the misunderstanding and false alarm!

We haven’t seen very many YZF-R7s out there but here is one with 600 original miles! Located in Seattle, Washington is a 1999 Yamaha YZF-R7. This bike is titled in Washington but supposedly stipulates Off-Road-Use-Only on it. The only modifications from stock are braided front brake lines. The bike comes with:
Included but not installed on the bike are a Yamaha race kit wiring loom, fuel pump/regulator and various other small race kit items. Service/owner’s manual, race kit manual, parts microfiche catalogue all come with the bike as well.
Stock R7 mirrors, turn signals, tailight, etc., were all ordered from Japan and are included…The stock front lines are not included.
This example did have the camshaft(s) replaced under warranty at the end of 1999. This is a two owner bike showing only 963km (598mi).
The R7 line features CNC machined head parts, titanium valves, titanium connecting rods, forged pistons with nickle plated faces, Ohlins suspension front and rear, adjustable swingarm pivot location, ram air carbon fiber air-box, plus more. I think that these are the best looking of the YZF series probably due to the small front lights and powerful tail. This example is for sale by a dealer and the asking price is $31,500. Now, that price might be negotiable if this bike can be plated which the dealer states might be possible. While yes, this bike will probably not see more than a hundred miles or so even if it has a plate, collectors want the possibility of riding the bike even if they know they won’t. Find a plate for this bike and I could see $31k as a genuine starting point. See this bike at Red Label Moto here.

I wouldn’t say it’s tough to navigate, just that he doesn’t update often. He’s had that R7 on there for a long time; interesting that it’s been sold for a long time. Now I wonder how many of the other bikes he’s listed as “for sale” are unavailable as well.
“Tough to navigate”? The Red Label Moto website is a joke – it’s bush league.
While it looks as though Kie (owner of Red Label) has stopped updating his site, there is nothing “bush league” about the business he runs or the service he provides. I’m not sure there is a nicer, more informed and honest bike salesman around – I certainly haven’t found one.
I’ve known him since back when he was at Ducati of Seattle and later bought a CBR600RR from him at Red Label, and when I’m in the market for another bike I’ll be contacting him again.
He does list bikes for sale on Ebay every now and again, which you can find here:
