Description

The 1998 Yamaha R1 4XV is an engaging, rider-focused superbike that rewards precise inputs with raw character. Its 998cc carburetted inline-four delivers immediate throttle response and an evocative soundtrack, while the compact, lightweight chassis and upgraded Ohlins rear shock sharpen turn-in and composure. A Yoshimura exhaust further enhances the engine note and on-road punch.

Practicality is strong for a classic sport machine: this example has one owner from new and comprehensive service records, plus upgraded Brembo braking hardware for confidence-inspiring stopping power. Supplied with keys and an owners' pack and prepared with a full pre-delivery check, it offers a rare chance to own a well-cared-for original R1 that still thrills on the road.
