YAMAHA XJR 1300 (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Yamaha XJR 1300 was a roadster-type motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha from 1999 until 2016. At its release, the bike was available at an MSRP of $11,450, but the price has never been considered excessive due to its high-quality finish.

In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XJR 1300, a naked motorcycle that was intended to replace the Yamaha XJR 1200 in 1999. The 2007 model received a fuel injection system that delivered smoother power and fewer emissions.

As for appearance, the 2007 machine packed the same visual as the previous model, with standard features, such as a round headlight on the front, two gauges with chromed housings, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a four-into-one exhaust system, side-mounted Ohlins shocks on the rear, and three-spoke lightweight wheels.

The 17-inch wheels were fitted with dual 298 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear end, providing efficient and reliable stopping power.

The bike's suspension system comprised a telescopic fork on the front with 130 mm of travel and two side-mounted Ohlins shock absorbers on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

In the performance department, the 2007 Yamaha XJR 1300 had its heartbeat set by a 1,251cc four-stroke air-cooled four-cylinder engine managed by a fuel injection system, delivering 98 hp at 8,000 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
