Yamaha YZF-R description

Regrettably, selling my 2003 Yamaha YZF-R1 Limited Edition (~15,000 miles) and accessories. It has a fresh oil and filter change and new battery.

 

This is a one-owner, adult-owned and ridden bike that has always been garage kept, never laid-down or crashed, and was broken-in according to manufacturer recommendations. It was mainly used to commute to and from work, getting about 50mpg. Any areas of note/scratches are described in the pictures.

 

This bike is all original and has never been modified, with the exception of the following:

Added Daytona adjustable steering stabilizer (I believe it is a Shindy).

Added K&N air filter.

Added frame and clutch sliders.

I replaced the rear tire with a 180/55 instead of using the original 190/50 size. The current tires are upgraded to Dunlop Sportmax 209GP's originally priced at over $600 per set.

 

I have all of the original bolts/brackets, etc. that were removed when the above modifications were made. I am also including a 'matching' cargo net, wheel/disc lock, Lockhart Phillips tank cover, and a Nelson Rigg bike cover.

 

I am hiding nothing with regards to this bike. I will say upfront that it has been to the track (where I was scolded for being too slow and in the way, so it has never been pushed to its limits) and that it has also been sitting for a number of years in storage. I have inspected the bike and all appears to be in order. The chain and sprockets were replaced shortly before storage and are in good condition. The inside of the tank is spotless and the fuel system shows no signs of concern. There was no oxidation or anything of that nature on any surface when I pulled the bike out of storage. The only thing I discovered was a slight sidewall crack on both sides of the rear tire. This appears to be cosmetic. I have taken the bike on test rides and, while I am not personally concerned, these tires are several years old.

 

At this time I am considering only local pick-up with cash payment or PayPal.

Yamaha Factory MotoGP Team Loses Another Sponsor

Fri, 30 Dec 2011

Yamaha’s factory MotoGP team has lost a major sponsor for the second year in a row. Malaysian oil and gas company Petronas will not be extending its sponsorship agreement with the Yamaha team, ending a three-year relationship. Last year, the Yamaha team lost the title sponsorship of automobile manufacturer Fiat.

A MotoGP rep for under £100?

Fri, 29 Jun 2012

OK, so it's only for kids, but the new Yamaha M1 WGP 50th Anniversary Balance Bike is still quite cool. Aimed at kids between 2 and 6 years old, it's the same Kiddimoto superbike design that's been around for a few years, and costs the same as the standard Kiddimoto. Which means you effectively get the special graphics and Yamaha branding free of charge.

Callaway Builds Motorcycle Engine

Thu, 20 Nov 2008

Callaway is a name that has become synonymous with Corvettes over the years, and with good reason. However, in addition to unleashing the power of America’s legendary sports car, Reeves Callaway has also done technical and engineering consulting for motorcycle companies such as Yamaha. A few years ago, he showed the world a V16 motor he built using four Yamaha 1,000cc motorcycle engines mounted on a custom fabricated aluminum block.
