[DXB]

Gents, as i am to idle to do a search, can anyone tell me the going rate for a 1998 R1 in the U.K. One has turned up over here and i was thinking of buying it and sending it to the U.K.

Thanks.

You don't send a '98 R1 to the UK, it sends you.

It must go through quarantine procedure and wear a muzzle at all times when in the country.

I heard that it was illegal to ship a 98 R1 to the UK as us Brits cant handle them.

It all depends on the condition and milege
Usual prices at the moment are around 1500 - 2200 for good condition bikes with 20000 miles and over. under that and in perfect condition can see them hit the 3K mark.

My R1 decided that i wasn't awesome enough to ride her so she logged onto ebay and sold herself.........

OP is either trolling or just being a memefag.

If you do go for it make sure to take it for a test ride and give it some stick in 2nd gear. Its a notorious weak spot in the early R1s so if it pops out of gear when you hit the throttle just walk away. Its a pain in the arse of a job to fix as its an engine out task

I have sent the guy a PM, but he is selling it for a mate, so it may well turn out to be a Honda Melody, but you never know your luck.

FYI the 98-02 R1s also had the same issue go check the R1 forums for more info on it. The selector forks get worn and it slips out of gear under heavy acceleration.

Alas a lot of yamaha's have that issue from that era.

Dont forget to factor in ChuckNorris tax which is applicable to all 98 R1s being shipped to the UK

[ollieholt]

Full throttle is only accessible by chuck himself, this is what happened when he went to the shop.

Don't forget. "A small twist of the throttle alters the speed as required. "
