Overview

 

1998 Yamaha YZF R1 – An Original Icon

Finding a clean, original 1998 Yamaha YZF R1 is becoming increasingly difficult, especially one presented in this condition. This example was imported from Japan and retains all OEM fairings, making it a standout for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Notable Features and Pricing

 

Outstanding Original Condition

This R1 presents exceptionally well overall, with faultless paintwork after the lower belly fairings were professionally repainted. The bike has travelled 30,293 km and has clearly been extremely well cared for throughout its life.

It also comes complete with the original owner’s manual and tool kit — details that are becoming harder to find with bikes of this era.

Recently Serviced and Ready to Ride

A number of recent maintenance items have already been completed, including:

  • Wheels professionally powder coated

  • Near-new Dunlop Sportmax tyres

  • New battery installed

  • New fork seals

  • Full service completed

  • Road tested and ready to go

The original exhaust is in mint condition, adding even more appeal for buyers seeking an authentic example.

Minor Detail Worth Mentioning

The only point worth noting is a small black spot in the left-hand corner of the tacho LED display. It does not affect functionality in any way, but we prefer to mention everything upfront.

A Future Classic

The first-generation YZF R1 changed the superbike world forever, and original examples like this are becoming increasingly scarce. This bike also includes the solo seat panel if you’d like to register it under cheaper solo-seat rego options.

Asking Price and Lay-by Option
