I've been offered a 04 Yamaha R1 that has had just 1 owner (who I know) for just £1,500. This bike will be a track bike (it's a road bike at the minute), and the catch is it's got 90,000 miles on it.

It's been serviced regularly and had a very easy life. So i'm thinking this should be OK. Thoughts? There seem to be a fair few guys running over 100k miles on R1's.

I'm thinking i'd be a fool to turn this down as i've been looking for a trackbike for a while now.

I could maybe treat it to an engine refresh over the winter, any idea on costs?
