Check out this nearly new 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1 . Since the original 1998 model , Yamaha's R1 has been on the cutting edge of technology and for 2015 the R1 is on point again . With its MotoGP inspired look and technology , the R1 is the new standard in production literbikes . The engine and chassis are new . The 998 cc liquid-cooled Crossplane crankshaft motor is straight out of MotoGP design . Super light weight pistons and a compression ratio of 13.0 to 1 along with an industry first Yamaha developed fracture - split titanium connecting rods for less friction help this motor produce almost 200 HP . All of this power is handled through a 6 six speed with an assist slipper clutch making you look smoother in those aggressive corner entries . The all - new Deltabox frame is 10 mm shorter for a 55.3 inch wheelbase for quicker chassis response and the suspension is fully adjustable , front and rear . An awesome set of triple disc brakes handle the lightweight 439 pound Superbike . Electronics help manage the power and rideability on today's elite Sportbikes and Yamaha has upped the game with a new electronics package . Yamaha uses a six-axis Inertial Measuring Unit , IMU and the ECU manage things like lean-angle sensing Traction Control , Wheelie Control , ABS plus linked brakes and since it recalculates 125 times person second it helps the rider manage all this performance on the street . The bike is absolutely gorgeous and looks like a Moto GP bike sitting on the grid , even if its only in your garage . This bike only has 7 miles on it and has factory warranty on it until July 25 , 2016 . New R1 's are $ 16490.00 plus fees but this one is only $ 14,799.00 .

Over the past two decades there have only been a few bikes that really raised the bar and considered landmark machines . The 1998 - 1999 Yamha YZF - R1 was one of those bikes . With a powerplant making around 150 HP and weighing in at only 448 curb weight , the R1 was the most powerful and lightest bike in its class . This 5-valve Genesis motor has proven to be a bulletproof engine over the years . All that performance placed in outstanding aluminum chassis along with fantastic brakes and adjustible suspension make the R1 an outstanding bike still today . This one has an Akrapovic exhaust , an Ohlins steering damper , an undertail kit and flushmount turn signals up front . The miles are low at only 19,000 and the bike is in good condition . It is missing the left side decals . The bike does have new set of Michelin Pilots as well . So if you are looking for a lot of bang for your buck , look at this 1999 Yamaha R1 at only $4000.00 .
