YAMAHA R1 4XV YZF 998cc

1998 (R-Reg) Yamaha YZF-R1 4XV - 23,655 Miles - One Owner from New This 1998 Yamaha R1 is a fantastic example of the original R1, finished in the iconic blue colour scheme and showing 23,655 miles from new. Even more impressively, it has had just one owner from new, which is incredibly rare to find on a bike of this age and significance. The 4XV changed the superbike world when it was launched, combining huge performance with lightweight handling in a way that completely reset expectations. Even today it still feels raw, exciting, and hugely engaging to ride. This example has been tastefully upgraded with a Yoshimura exhaust, an Ohlins rear shock, and Brembo brakes with matching Brembo master cylinder, all of which complement the bike perfectly while improving the overall riding experience. It also comes with an extensive history file, including service invoices for every year from 2015 right through to 2024, showing a very high level of ongoing care and maintenance throughout its life. For a bike approaching classic status, it presents very well and clearly reflects long term ownership and careful upkeep. On the road it feels strong, sharp, and full of character, exactly what you would want from an early carburetted R1. A rare opportunity to own a one owner 4XV with fantastic history and quality upgrades already fitted. Supplied with keys, owner's pack, and extensive service history, and it will receive a full pre delivery check before leaving us. Nationwide delivery available for just £149.
