In 2007, Yamaha launched the FJR 1300AE, a sport-tourer motorcycle that featured the same updates brought on the 2006 model that enhanced the comfort for the rider and passenger while maintaining the performance characteristics of a sports bike.
Yamaha introduced on the 2007 AE model the electronically controlled clutch system that allowed the rider to change gears without operating the clutch lever removed by the manufacturer and replaced with paddles on the handlebar, also the foot lever remained in the same position, and still functioned as the gear shifter.
In the aesthetic department, the bike featured a new bodywork and an air-management system that provided more comfort for both rider and passenger, with a vent located under the instrument panel that also reduced negative pressure.
Also, the model featured a curved radiator, a longer swingarm that offered better riding and handling characteristics, an adjustable windscreen, a newly designed rear frame with an integrated grab handle, repositioned footpegs for more comfort, and integrated turn signals for a cleaner look.
As for the power performance, the 2007 Yamaha FJR 1300AE featured the same specification as the previous model with a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that 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.
