Yamaha R1M
£17,800
It is a huge pleasure to offer what we can only describe as *the best* Yamaha R1M we have ever laid eyes on. A breathtaking - and highly sought after Gen 1 bike, it has covered just 2,100 miles from delivery in April 2017, in the care of 3 extremely fastidious owners.
To say this bike is unmatched, would not be an exaggeration. It is without doubt the cleanest example currently available in the UK.
Building on the already generous factory-specification, this particular bike takes things to a different level. Adorned with extensive carbon fibre (of very high quality), alongside a full Akrapovic titanium system, and numerous small additions, it is a spectacular motorcycle. And with the R1's days as a road bike all but finished, these M1-inspired machines are likely to remain the model's apex for years to come; their legacy assured.
Despite the low mileage, the bike has a thorough record of maintenance, and is supplied with all original parts should the new owner wish to return the bike to standard.
Utterly superb in every way.

Cosmetic condition:
Impeccably clean all round, reflecting the bike's low mileage. All of the plastic and painted surfaces are in perfect condition, maintaining a factory finish throughout. There are minimal marks to any of the frame, or mechanical parts like the engine covers. The rider contact areas are all free from any imperfections, and the seat remains unblemished. All switchgear is as new, and functions correctly.
Mechanical condition:
Mechanically, the bike appears to be in perfect condition, starting instantly and achieving temperature quickly. That legendary cross-plane four is typically aggressive, and sounds sublime through the Akrapovic system. The brakes are unbelievable, pulling the bike up effortlessly. Throttle and clutch are precise, likewise the gearbox. All other controls function correctly.
What our friends at Bennetts said:
"Billed by Yamaha as the ‘first fully-digital R1’, 2015 marked a huge turning point in the development of the firm’s litre sportsbike. Where the previous generation of crossplane R1 had success on the track, it was still quite road-focused with a relaxed power delivery and physically fairly roomy riding position – in 2015 this all changed. As well as massively upping the game in terms of electronic assists, the 2015 R1 shifted its focus far more towards track riding and even went as far as to employ a certain Mr Valentino Rossi’s assistance with the chassis’ development. And that wasn’t the only change. Although there had been an R1 SP before in 2006 (it was a bit of a bolt-on special and not actually that special) the 2015 R1 was joined by a full-on range-topping sibling – the R1M. Costing a scary £18,499 the M (the name a nod towards the firm’s YZR-M1 MotoGP bike) came with uprated Öhlins semi-active suspension and even carbon bodywork. If you are after a modern ‘digital’ sportsbike that sounds, looks and handles (on track) amazingly the R1M is astounding."
