Yamaha R1 YZF R1

Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning 2012 Yamaha R1 which has just been imported into the UK. It will be UK registered on an age-related plate which is currently in process.

With only 11.673 miles on the clock and presented in Red/White

Not much has changed with the 2012 Yamaha R1 - remaining largely the same as the 2009 version. The big news was it gained a six-stage traction control system, incorporating anti-wheelie in its two most intrusive levels. It also got a restyled nose, a slotted YZR-M1-style (the firm's MotoGP bike) top yoke and a longer, softer rear shock.

With its crossplane crank and irregular firing order layout, the 998cc inline-four-cylinder engine is almost vibe-free, despite its rumbling exhaust note and has the linear power delivery of an electric motor, the grunt of a V-twin and the free-wheeling engine braking of a two-stroke.

It’s a riot of contradictions and it seems you either gel with it or you don’t. It doesn’t have masses of power at high rpm and its speed comes from its acceleration out of corners and the ease in which you can get on the throttle, even on full-lean.

This particular Yamaha is is excellent condition and will come with 12-month warranty.
