i realy have a thing for the first {98) r1. just like the zx 10, it was an anti social bike that was hard to drive, with too much power. because of this,you never see one today as they are mostly all written off. to my amazment , i spotted this one on the by pass in ballincollig cork. he tried to evade me by taking off......

  • the 98 r1 was hard to drive my ass, ive got one, and shes smoother then the back of your mothers thighs after she shaves. yeh?

  • ikaw ang bobo!! tarantado ka pala eh! paano kanila maintidihan.... eh! hindi naman sila nakakaintindi ng tagalog. istupido. you're a such a stupid man.

  • tang ina nyo kaya nga modelo ang 2009 dahil mas maganda sa 1998 tapos mas gusto nyo ang 1998 mga bobo!!!!,papipiliin kaya kayo kung libre 1998 model o 2008 model ano kaya kukunin nyo? mga gago!!

  • ya this is cork in ireland not fuckin holland.

  • sounds like fat kev keohane!! LOL

  • Absolutely stunning machines!

    Lucky enough to own one myself in red and white original.

    Check out my vids i've got a few on here of it, caning it like it should be caned!

  • yea i have a can and a dynojet kit on mine too it made 147BHP at the back wheel, would never sell it i love it! and buy those red and white ones up and send them over to the uk you will make a few quid lol

  • hmm, lots for sale in the netherlands. I first wanted a blue one, but I'm glad I bought this model. Power smooths out a lot with a dynokit, I don't really experience a sudden power surge. With the dynokit, mine makes 150 bhp at the backwheel according to the dynorun. A bit optimistic I believe, but enough to have some fun.

  • strange i have one in these colours and they are rare in the u.k yamaha only made them in this colour for 6 months the blue being far more popular at time. In fact all R1 4XV models in good condition are already going up in value due to the fact so many were crashed the 4XV model is well know to be the hardest R1 to master due to the power delivery which comes on quite brutally all 150bhp. yamaha in 1999 came out with the 5JJ model which softened the power delivery and made it easier to ride
