Unexpected 99 R1 Owner also from God's country

Post by Sheepracer »

Bore da!!

Just sold my race SV650 and picked up a bargain of an R1 off a neighbor that's stood out his back for two years in a bike tent thingy! Annnyyyway- bought it as a non runner- new brakes- battery- wheel bearings and oil change and she fired into life first time :-)

The bike was originally stolen recovered in 2005 then Q plated. Thankfully DVLA have agreed to put back on age related plate for free with a letter off Yamaha confirming year of manufacture.

All in the bike owes my £1250 as it stands- cheap as chips- it's only done 16k miles and I have all MOTS SINCE 2005.
I'll post a pic as soon as I learn how to!!

Cheers

Chris
