YAMAHA FJR1300 (2006-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Yamaha FJR 1300, a flagship sport-touring machine in Yamaha's line-up that delivered the perfect mix of track-derived nerve, outstanding handling, and great comfort for both rider and passenger.

The long-running FJR 1300 sports tourer came in 2006 with several changes to the bodywork and chassis that enhanced the rider and passenger comfort.

The new fairing allowed more range of movement for the electronically adjustable windscreen with 135 mm vertical adjustment and almost 50 mm forward and backward movement, while the new mid-cowl featured on both sides of the bike offered 30 mm adjustability for managing the air around the rider and passenger.

In addition, the bike also featured larger headlights individually adjustable from inside the fairing, a 12-volt socket in the lockable glove compartment, standard heated grips, adjustable handlebars, and the footpegs that were moved 20 mm down and 40 mm forward for a more relaxed position.

In other departments, the bike remained unchanged such as the engine and transmission, but the swingarm was extended by 40 mm to direct the overall weight on the front wheel, while the ABS, which was previously an option, was offered as a standard feature for the 2006 model.

As for power, the 2006 Yamaha FJR 1300 had its heartbeat set by a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that provided an output power of 145 hp at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
