1999 R1 Museum Quality *3k Miles* on 2040-motos

Yamaha YZF-R description

Relisted because a complete flake ignored me and didn't pay....so if you don't have the funds, don't buy it....please ! 

One of a kind story on a one of a kind bike.  1999 Yamaha R1 purchased new at Capitol Yamaha in Sacramento, CA.  Ridden lightly for one year, then parked and started once a week.  Owner became ill and never rode it again.  His son in law would come over apparently to keep this bike and other vehicles started and running.  It is totally original, never altered, never down or dropped in any way and absolutely gorgeous.  I do not have time to give it a toothbrush and Q-tip detail like I do on my bikes, but it would be museum quality after that.  It is pristine.  I had the entire bike checked out at a cycle shop yesterday and they could not believe what they were looking at.

The bike shows 3094 miles and that is original.  The shop changed fluids, adjusted the chain and checked over everything.  The technician stated it is obviously original and he even took off the plastics to make sure it was authentic, original and as nice as he thought.  A+ condition in every way was his comment.  The bike has been stored on a trickle charger.  It starts, runs and drives, perfectly.  Tires are obviously older, though NOT cracked, so that would be my only recommendation to the buyer.   Maybe new tires to be extra safe on such a nice bike.

The bike is bone stock and comes with both keys, the original key tag given on purchase and the metal key tag to have more keys made if needed.  A friend of mine offered me the bike from the estate along with two other cars.  All are perfect with low, low, miles.  This bike however is the gem of them all.   I own this bike personally, but since I am a car dealership owner, California buyers will pay sales tax and lic transfer.  The license is good through 10/2014 for California buyers, so you will only pay $15.  Out of state buyers obviously pay no tax or lic fees.   I have owned many sport bikes and am an enthusiast....this one is showroom new.  If I did not just purchase another bike two months ago, there is no way I would sell it.  You are free to come see it anytime and I am happy to assist with shipping at the buyers expense.   This one is a real gem, don't miss it.  Tank pad, rear spools and a Yamaha factory colored rear fender are the only additions to this totally stock bike.  Photos don't even begin to do it justice.  If you are into Yamaha's or a collector, this is a bike for you.  Thanks for looking !
