Yamaha FJR 1300


The FJR 1300 is the bike to choose for enjoyable long rides. It pampers riders and pillions alike and also has features that ensure rides remain comfy and stress-free always. The FJR uses excellent twin headlights, and an adjustable electric screen that provides bonus wind protection over and above a large fairing. Powered by a five-speed, liquid-cooled, in-line four 1298cc powerplant, the FJR transfers drive via a shaft. Making 143.5bhp at 8000rpm, the FJR carries around ample lugging power to whoosh down highways, gladly decimating distances without any drama.

Owing to the fact that this machine is bulky and brawny, short riders might not enjoy the high, yet well-padded saddle. However, this is one super bike that tall men and pillions will thoroughly enjoy. The 2007 FJR offers adjustable handlebars and even an ABS braking system.
