One of the most iconic sport-touting machines made by Yamaha was the FJR 1300, a bike that featured the latest technologies and offered massive power and comfort, with its compact, lightweight engine mounted in a lightweight chassis and its transmission that delivered smooth performance.
In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Yamaha FJR 1300A, a bike that combined the performance of a supersport machine with the advanced capabilities of a touring motorcycle and offered massive power and torque with great handling performance.
The FJR 1300A featured an air management system that kept the rider cool at any time with its electronically adjustable windshield, a central vent under the instrument panel that directed cool air to the rider and also reduced negative pressure, and the side fairing panels that were adjustable and allowed the rider to redirect airflow.
In the performance department, the 2010 Yamaha FJR 1300A had at its core a compact and lightweight engine used as a fully stressed member of the chassis, which allowed a lightweight frame design and featured an advanced fuel injection system that fed some lightweight forged pistons that delivered great engine performance.
As for the power figures, the 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivered an output power of 145 hp with a peak at 8,500 rpm and 125 Nm (99 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
