Yamaha XJR1300

Muscular, powerful street machine

What you're feeling is natural. It's the excitement, tinged with awe, of viewing a XJR1300. This is a big machine. It's big on power, big on technology, and big on street-dominating style.

It's an eye-grabbing engineering masterpiece that bonds classic air-cooled engine design with four valves per cylinder, fuel injection and a great-sounding EXUP exhaust. The superbly balanced chassis completes the picture, with a double cradle tubular steel frame.

The chunky 43 mm front forks, three-spoke alloy wheels and monobloc 4-piston front brake calipers with floating discs add even more muscularity. This is a machine that comes with style and size.
