2001 Yamaha YZF-R1 - Red & White - 48,044km - 998cc Inline-Four, 6-Speed Manual
Overview
The Yamaha YZF-R1 stands as one of the most significant superbikes ever produced, and this 2001 example represents the first generation that fundamentally changed the litre-class sportbike landscape. First introduced in 1998, the YZF-R1 featured a compact 998cc inline-four engine producing approximately 150 horsepower, paired with Yamaha's lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame that set new benchmarks for performance, handling and agility. Finished in the iconic red and white factory colour scheme, this example captures the styling that made the early R1 an instant legend among motorcycle enthusiasts.
According to the vendor, the motorcycle has undergone a cosmetic refresh with fresh paint professionally applied to genuine OEM fairing panels by Colidascope Paint in Asquith. As presented, the motorcycle displays exceptionally well cosmetically. The aluminium frame presents cleanly with only minor age-related marks consistent with use. The front fairing retains the signature dual-headlight design synonymous with the first-generation R1, while the cockpit features the original analogue tachometer with digital instrumentation.
The motorcycle rides on Bridgestone RS10 tyres, which the vendor advises have travelled approximately 600 kilometres. The braking system has reportedly been rebuilt with new brake pads fitted. An aftermarket ART performance exhaust has also been installed, providing a sportier exhaust note while complementing the bike's performance-focused character. The engine bay presents cleanly with no obvious signs of leaks or visible damage from the photographs supplied.
Showing 48,044 kilometres, this YZF-R1 presents as a genuine example of one of Yamaha's most influential superbikes. Early R1s continue to attract strong interest from collectors and enthusiasts alike, with their combination of lightweight chassis, exhilarating performance and iconic styling securing their place in modern motorcycling history.
