Whilst enjoying our holiday in Turkey, I made the mistake of browsing motorcycle adverts online and found something I simply couldn't ignore – I have owned 2 of these motorcycles over the years and I wanted another one for my collection. I found a beautiful 1994 Yamaha YZF750.
Unable to view the bike myself, I called my son Gary and asked him to take a look. Before long, a deal was done and the Yamaha was ours. Then, just a few days later, another opportunity appeared. Gary had been searching for a Yamaha R1 and found one that looked too good to miss.
In this video, we finally get the bikes together and take a closer look to see if we've made a smart investment or an expensive mistake.
With prices of classic Japanese sports bikes continuing to rise, are the Yamaha YZF750 and Yamaha R1 future classics worth buying in today's market?
