YAMAHAXJR 1300 2011 - 2012

　　At the end of 1998, Yamaha introduced the XJR 1300, a roadster-type motorcycle released as a successor to the Yamaha XJR 1200. The bike was listed at an MSRP of $11,450, but the price didn't seem that high due to its high-end finish.

　　In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Yamaha XJR 1300, a motorcycle in its twelve years of production that remained essentially unchanged over its production time.

　　The 2011 motorcycle packed the same standard features as the previous model, including a round headlight up front, two chromed gauges mounted on top of the headlight, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger handle, a single exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight alloy wheels.

　　In the performance department, the 2011 Yamaha XJR 1300 was powered by a 1,251cc four-stroke air-cooled four-cylinder engine, fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 98 hp at 8,000 rpm and 108 Nm (79 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.

　　A telescopic fork on the front that offered 130 mm of travel and dual side-mounted shock absorbers on the rear that provided 120 mm wheel travel handled the bike's suspension and delivered excellent handling capabilities.

　　The bike's wheels were fitted with two 298 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 267 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, providing excellent stopping power.
