YAMAHAXJR 1300 1998 - 2004

　　The Yamaha XJR 1300 was a roadster-type machine presented at the end of 1998 by Yamaha as a successor to the Yamaha XJR 1200 model. The bike continued production until 2016. The Yamaha XJR 1300 was sold at an MSRP of $11,450 at the time, but given its high-level finish, its price was never seen as excessive.

　　In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XJR 1300, a motorcycle that originated from the XJR 1200 model, famous for its strong big block character with massive power available at low revolution.

　　In the aesthetic department, the bike had standard features similar to other XJR models, including a large round headlight with two gauges mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a single exhaust system with a muffler on the right side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　Suspension-wise, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and two side-mounted Ohlins shock absorbers with remote reservoirs, delivering excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The braking power was handled by two 298 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

　　In the performance department, the 1998 Yamaha XJR 1300 took its nerves from a 1,250cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered 106 hp at 8,000 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
