I am original owner of a nice 98 blue R-1 ,make sur it had clutch basket recall work done,they could crack under severe use,enjoy your ride ! After recall service yamaha tech would put 2 punch Mark's by serial numbers on frame head area
wow good to know ty
Lovely bike,got blue one now never selling .
what a great bike looks immaculate always awesome to see the older bikes out on the road ..👌
I have the identical bike, mines in absolute mint showroom condition!
I have the showroom poster ads, the accessories catalog & the sales pamphlet.
I have the Yamaha race team upgrades Corbine leather seat, the upgraded dual exhaust, tinted windscreen, upgraded gear box all by yamaha.
I have all the original parts in storage too!
It's a blast to ride & my pride & joy!
Very nice 👌
Wow that’s impressive! I’ve had my 98 R1 (blue) for years and I’d absolutely love to have the sales pamphlet and those things. Where did you find them?
I have a 2000.. R1. Buy far this is the best looking one I've ever seen .. unmolested. And that is the best looking stock exhaust ever..
They came during an era of fast fall in new bike costs, I got my 2000 version for 6.5K new which was also easy to get cheap finance for. The only thing holding people back was the ever present issue of insurance costs. We didn't understand at the time but it was a golden era for bikers.
The bike go never old!! 150hp and 199kg is very good for country roads, the design is timeles!! Best wish Reiner from Germany
Do love them in the blue mate 👌 and what a stunning example 😎
Thanks mate. Hopefully they will go up in value 😬👍
Absolutely stunning bike. I love bikes from this era. I have a 2002 998. Id love to have a bike like yours (definitely in blue) in the garage next to it.
Hello. I do like the 998. Great looking bike. Thanks for watching 😬👍
R1 and 998/916 were among the most beautiful supersport bikes of the 90s. Got this R1 myself in Red Bull look. Also liked the FZR1000 from 91-93 and the first CBR900s a lot.
Beautiful bike! I prefer the red and white myself but the blue is a timeless classic.
Dude,that bike is sweeeeeet! Purrs like a kitten…🤟
You’ll want to look after the headstock bearings from wheelies-it will beat the bearing pocket oval and you’ll end up with a clicking feeling that can’t be cured by tightening the bearings on the steering stem. IMO this is a lot of the reason they tank slap.
T313JNT absolutely incredible have regretted selling it nearly 20 years.
Had the 98, from 98 to 2022. Now on the 05.
Absolutely stunning bike I always wanted to ride the 98 r1
Lovely example, well done for snatching that one up, money in the bank they are.
Thanks. Hopefully they will go up 😬👍
Beautiful
Awesome looking bike, won't say it is a 1998 model looks brand new.
Thanks. It’s been looked after over the years. Hopefully they will go up in value 😬
just bought one myself just like urs
Got to get my hands on one
LOVELY EXAMPLE :o)
The best
Iv seen a few of these 98 sell for 15k in Australia. I brought mine for 3k years back
Hopefully they will keep going up 😬👍
Same. I bought mine in Melbourne for 4K a number of years ago. Blue is best 👍🏻
got the same bike but mine runs a lot hotter , high 70's -80's on the motorway & 90+ in town , amazed yours was below 60
Your temperature doesn’t sound to bad. It’s just a bit higher. Maybe the fins on the radiator are a bit damaged so it’s not getting maximum cooling from it.
Got one love it will never sell it .throw it in the ground with me when I go .

Been looking for a clean low mileage 98 for a long time.
Hello it’s now for sale if you are interested 👍
@@itchingtoride where are you? And what’s the mileage/price?
When I found my current 04 which is absolutely mint the seller also had a 98 and another buyer beat me to it. I was going to buy both. This guy listed 2 absolutely showroom mint stock low mileage R1 at the same time 98 had 3,500 miles 04 had 715 miles 4500 each. It was a race to get there first. I immediately messaged him when they were listed and was the number 2 in line. The first guy almost bought both. So glad he didn’t cause I ended up with a basically brand new 04 R1. Currently now have 10,000 miles on it. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Turns so well.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 Its a UK Bike. I have the owners manual and service book with 6 stamps in. The original accessories Brochure. Every old MOT Certificate. The valves have been checked about 100 miles ago. New tyres. New genuine Yamaha brake discs and pads. New genuine Yamaha carb kits. HPI clear. Datatag. Still has the Original Meta alarm and immobilizer on the bike. Still works. I have the certificate for it. It was fitted in 1998. I have lots of invoices for services and parts. Comes with a Sprint steering damper, Rear seat cowl. The bike doesn't need a thing. Has 12 months MOT. 25,000 miles. £6,195 Ono. Suffolk.
@@itchingtoride well I’m in the United States so definitely to far away for me.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 Yes that is a bit to far really 😂
