We have covered a few YZF-R1’s on the site. As Donn said last year, “Yamaha knocked its superbike rivals back on their heels with the R1, packing 149 hp into a light, tight package.”
“Trying to keep the chassis compact, Yamaha positioned the transmission input and output shafts vertically, making room for a swingarm that could cope with superbike power. Five valves per cylinder took advantage of the well-developed EXUP exhaust valve, making for a progressive torque curve starting at just 5,000 rpm. The Deltabox II spars are folded alloy, along with a triangulated MonoCross rear. Even components are trimmed for the lighter, faster mission – 41.5 mm inverted forks and 298 mm semi-floating brakes.”
A quick search uncovered a 1999 Yamaha YZF-R1 that sold for $10,000 last year on BaT.
With no reserve, this could get exciting.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
I have a ’98 blue/white with similar mileage and in similar condition- even down to still having the original tires (in storage), will be watching this one with some interest to see what it brings on a trailer.
