Velo Thruxton?
If so it could be worth more than the R1

Re: Spotted at the local Yamaha dealer....
Very nice too. The E plate does put it at '67 - one of the last. I hope whoever next starts and runs it turns the oil tap on first! There looks like a tap spliced into the supply line from the oil tank. Wet sumping, I'd guess.
