About this bike: Yamaha FZR1000R took Yamaha’s ‘Genesis’ concept one step further with a sculpted, alloy frame that looked just like the GP bike and Suzuka racers.The five-valve-per-cylinder, 1002cc moto...
If it's a classic Yamaha you're after, you're among friends. Steel City Classics stocks collectable Yamahas at our showroom on Sheffield Road, Unstone, midway between Sheffield and Chesterfield, with UK wide delivery on every bike we sell.
No marque owns British biking nostalgia quite like Yamaha. The FS1-E gave a generation its first taste of the road, the RD250 and RD350LC turned every A road into a race track, and the XT500 started the big trail bike movement single handedly. Then there are the four strokes: XS650s, the RD500LC for the brave, and the nineties sports bikes now marching into classic territory. Our current stock makes that last point for us, with a 1991 FZR1000 EXUP, five valves per cylinder and a genuine landmark machine, at money that won't stay this sensible for long.
The best classic Yamahas, particularly the two strokes, have been restored, crashed, tuned and rebuilt more times than most owners will admit, so knowing what original actually looks like matters. Every Yamaha we sell is assessed and prepared in our own workshop, described honestly, and stands on more than fifty years of combined experience in the classic bike trade.
Part exchange is always welcome, whether you're trading up from a modern bike or moving between classics. And if the Yamaha you want isn't here today, tell us; LCs, Fizzies and good XTs pass through regularly, and we're happy to keep your name against the next one.
LCs, Fizzies, XTs and clean early sports bikes are always wanted here. We buy outright, or sale or return puts your bike in front of the right buyers.
We're open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and the cafe is on site, so there are worse ways to spend a Saturday morning. Call us on 0114 252 5400 or get in touch to arrange a viewing.
