YAMAHAFJR1300A 2006 - 2006

　　In 2006, Yamaha launched the FJR 1300A, a sports-touring machine with power and torque that matched superbike motorcycles but with long-ride comfort offered for both rider and passenger and plenty of on-board storage topped by multiple technological features that enhanced its overall performance.

　　For the 2006 model, Yamaha introduced a new, shaper bodywork with an air-management system that offered enhanced comfort, a new curved radiator with Twin-ring cooling fans that kept the engine and cockpit cool, vertically adjustable seats, three-way adjustable handlebar puled-back angle, and an adjustable windshield that improved wind protection and reduced negative pressure.

　　Also, the big tourer featured a longer swingarm that provided better ride and handling characteristics and a clever braking system with the front brake lever that activated six of the eight front pistons and two rear pistons, while the rear brake pedal activated two rear pistons and the other two from the front for a more balanced braking performance.

　　In the performance department, the engine came in a lightweight and compact package that delivered massive power and torque with its lightweight forged pistons and advanced fuel injection system that provided a crisp throttle response.

　　As for the power figures, the 2006 Yamaha FJR 1300A remained unchanged with a power output of 145 hp at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (99lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm delivered by a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.
