Yamaha YZF-R description

Up for sale is a clean titled 1999 Yamaha R1, which was converted into a naked bike. The bike runs well, and makes for a reliable commuter or superb canyon carver. 

This R1 was converted by the previous owner who decided to convert it into a naked bike. The owner, who I bought the bike from, was an older gentleman who said the bike was beginning to become too heavy for his ability. So, I bought it and I've put 1,200 miles on the bike since I purchased it. There has been absolutely no mechanical problems with the bike since I've purchased it. 

The Good
-Mechanically sound
-Engine and transmission are smooth
-Clutch is strong
-Carbon Fiber Yoshimura Exhaust
-Unique look
-Comfortable riding position, especially for commuting
-Won't need an oil change for a while
-Brakes are good
-No leaks, and no signs of burning oil
-The dashboard works great, such as the speedometer, gas light, odometer, trip meter, etc). 
-Headlight, blinkers, and brake lights all work. 

The Bad
-Rear tire could use replacement sometime in the near future (I'd say there's 750-1000 miles left on the current rear tire, or more if you really stretch it). 
-Could use new brake fluid
-Tiny JB weld by professional welder on left side of crankcase (it's reportedly been there for 5000 miles, and it's completely sealed and sound in my experience). 
-Could have idle lowered by 200-300 RPM, but I wouldn't consider this an issue, but I'll disclose for transparency
-The dashboard doesn't illuminate at night, nor does the neutral light, but it's very easy to find neutral on the bike. 

This is seriously a great bike if you want to save some cash. It's not the prettiest nor is it in mint condition, but people love looking at it, and it's fast while being reliable. I've had absolutely no issues with it at all. I'm only selling it to switch over to a DRZ 400SM. 

If you have any questions regarding the bike or want more pictures, don't hesitate to shoot me a text @ 949-680-9297. I would prefer not shipping the bike, but if you feel that you want the bike and want to ship it, then just contact me.

The sale will be held this Saturday, December 7, in Team Garage 1004 at Miller Motorsports Park.
