Right I have the faintest idea about motorbikes, so what is a mint V-reg Yamaha R1 worth?

Thanks 

[Lazydocker]

Mileage, service history? Oh... And colour pays a bigger part with motorbikes than cars too

[Lazydocker]

But I would guess it would retail (dealer facilities) at about £2500

Bike has stacks of history, I think 23k miles and it's this:

Looks like a well cared for example. I'd say it should fetch close to £2500 as a private sale (with the extras), as long as the ad is well written and concise

Get someone who knows to tell you about the extras... e.g. Pit Stand, Crash Bungs etc

never liked those kind of bikes, i've sat on them, but feel way too small.

I'd love one, but would only really use it for an hour or so at a time due to the cramped riding position (most bikes are cramped for me at 6'4")

I am the same height, tried a Yam XJ600, felt like a monkey bike.....

Have you sat on a cbr 125 they are like a push bike and Even for a small guy like me it felt to small, as for the r1 in pick yes please I would be happy to pay up to the 2500 mark for it with stand and as long as the other side is in as good a condition. Only thing I would take in to consideration is is it an import as only needed to change the head lights and plates to be a UK rep.
Looks like the seller has ridden it well and got it right over so the service history would be a big yes unlike the upright riders who`s banking is all of 2deg either way with the flat spot in middle of tyre.

At least with this there's no need to change the piston and rings every 8k miles!

im also 6'4 and i love my bikes but i could not get on with the race bike i wanted and had the money for a fire blade but it was just far to small in the end i had to go old school and get an old cbr1000f

Borrowed it the day i passed my test, did not really like it. Had shoulder ache within 20 mins riding it, could hardly see anything.... much prefer my beemer  8-)

Did my CBT on a 125, fine for around town but damn they did not feel right on the open road!

[Ddraigcymro]

Did cbt on a cg125 that was a terrible bike with drum brakes, full license sat on 600 upright thing but stuck to my rs 125 as it was already set up as full power, such as power band installed bigger carbs carbon reeds ext. still cant wait to get shot of it now as want something faster on the straits although 400 cant out do me in the bends they are waiting for me on long straight roads  on the plus side tax is real cheep on the screamer

If you need someone to test ride the R1 I'll volunteer my services though

If I were to get it you'd be totally welcome as I can't ride a bike, well I haven't got a licence anyway.
