Must go to good home and not to a hoon!!

This is a very reluctant sale and I dont want to see it go but it must. Very rare to come by and a great opportunity to own.

Ha, I love this bike. I've got a big poster of Scott Charlton and Chris Seaton on my wall riding the race versions (look-a-like).

Good luck with the sale, looks great!

But what would I know, I don't even have a bike.

Yamahas in the yellow paint scheme (R1s, YZFs etc) sure look good!

I thought the low numbers were for the special version with the slipper clutch, Ohlins suspension and Marchesini wheels. I've seen a few of this colour round - still beautiful though.

Are the Arai stickers covering anything up? Has it ever been dropped (even just fallen over)? Is there any fading on the yellow paint?

Thanks.

Not its not my bike!

Hahaha got the same wheels, you dont happen to have a matching helmet as well?

Well it would match my leathers. Didn't really want to buy a new bike until summer but who knows.

That'd be the SP model. There's a couple around here - mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Don't know if they came in the yellow colour scheme though.

As far as I know they only were released in a matt Black think it might of been called 'Midnight Blue' or something similar. There is 1 in NZ but none were sold new in NZ shops, this particular one was an import from the Auzzie's stock. Was for sale on Tardme 3 or 4 months back.

Untrue!

Check this one on Ebay if you don't believe me:

The LE shouldn't be confused with the 50th anniversary paintjob (though they were both available on the same bike).
