YAMAHAXJR 1300 2008 - 2009

　　The Yamaha XJR 1300 was a roadster-type motorcycle, presented in 1998 and made by Yamaha in 1999 as the successor to the Yamaha XJR 1200 model, continuing 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 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XJR 1300, a motorcycle in its tenth year of production and in its second year benefiting from a fuel injection system.

　　The bike's aspect remained largely unchanged, having the same standard features as previous models, including a large round headlight on the front, two instrument panels with chromed housings, a one-piece dual seat with a pillion grab rail, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right side, and lightweight three-spoke alloy wheels.

　　The 2007 machine packed the same suspension system as previous models, consisting of a telescopic fork on the front, providing 130 mm wheel travel, and two side-mounted remote reservoir Ohlins shock absorbers on the rear, delivering excellent handling.

　　As for performance, the 2008 Yamaha XJR 1300 had installed a 1,251cc four-stroke air-cooled four-cylinder engine inside a double-cradle steel frame, fed by a fuel injection system and delivering smooth power. As for the power figures, the engine boasted 98 hp at 8,000 rpm and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
