Yamaha XJR 1300 Racer 2015

The Yamaha XJR 1300 Racer is a lovingly built custom bike, even in its standard condition. In view of the presumably low numbers of units that Yamaha will sell of the motorbike, it is certainly not mass-produced. If you like air-cooled four-cylinder engines, you will love this bike. This engine has been perfected and is 4-cylinder culture in its purest form. The seating position is casual and a lot of fun on flowing passages, but it gets a little uncomfortable in slow city traffic. The bike is offered without ABS. For those who like it, this is a plus point, but all others will unfortunately have to look elsewhere.

Very refined engine

great power and torque

lovely details

high-quality workmanship

great chassis components.

In the absence of airstream, strong heat radiation from the engine onto the rear

uncomfortable seating position in slow city traffic

throttle grip a little tight on long tours.
