Yamaha YZF-750R An exceptional opportunity to own a fine example of yet another of Yamaha’s great creations from 1998 — the Yamaha YZF-750 R Exup. Developed with input from the track, it delivers uncompromising race-inspired performance in a road-legal package and is one of the great superbikes on the roster before the era of the R1 and 1 Litre power units. Finished in Yamaha’s iconic Red and White, this example is in superb condition — equally suited as a collector’s centrepiece or an electrifying road machine. There are barely any nicks/blots, couple of tiny paint chips (photos with pointers).

Reason for sale: when I took it out in anger, I realised it’s too scary and at 61, I’ve lost my nerve (or become sensible)! I’m never going to use it in it’s power band – a younger / braver rider deserves that privilege. I also leave the UK for a five year work contract in August. Highlights: Inline 4 carb engine – 121 bhp at 12,000 rpm – a rev-hungry screamer. Adjustable suspension with preload and damping adjustment.

Two almost brand new Continentals with only 200-odd miles used.

Recently serviced and given the TLC by a mainstream, family-run Bike & Classic Car Dealer in Essex.

This machine comes with a comprehensive (enormous) package of historic servicing info, original Owner’s Manual and (brilliant Japanese cultural thought) a Motorcycle Skill Test and Practice booklet. 

MOT till Feb 2027 and two sets of keys. 

It runs as it should do and for it’s age and low mileage, is a superb example of the era.

I have a cold-start 30s vid which I couldn’t upload I’d be happy to WhatsApp to you. Also happy to show all the paperwork in a vid-call too – there is too much to photograph!

C’Mon!!! I’m heading overseas for a five year work project. Want this at a silly price? Otherwise I’ll put it into long term storage.
