Yamaha FJR1300 (ABS) reviews

I began my wonderful FJR Adventure! Rode up Hwy 1 to Santa Cruz, then out to Raton, New Mexico. Put 5,000 miles on Mr FJR in the 1st month. Saw 8 other bikes out on "The road" and 4 were FJR's! We're really out there riding! Handles great, and I finally think I have enough power! Awesome front brakes saved me already from 3 deer crossing the road on Hwy 88 whilst going @ 75! Front tire squeeled with only one finger on the lever! Doubt I'll ever sell it! Tim Show less

I have owned 13 motorcycles over the years. My previous bike was a Honda CBR1100XX. This bike is so much more comfortable to ride it is amazing. The bad news is it is now Fall, and I won't get to ride much until next Spring. Show less

For a rider who likes comfort for loooong distances but also craves the adrenaline rush of a supersport motorcycle there is only one word: FJR 1300. There are many good motorcycle out there nowadays but Yamaha has hit a very special chord with this model. Tremendous power, flawless handling and a breeze to maintain combined with an exeptional price and class A comffort what else can someone ask for. This is bike that begs you to ride it hard and you are looking forward to the next ride. The only problems with the FJR is that if you are not careful you can loose your licence and your wife faster than you think Show less

I owned more than 10 bikes till now. From ducati to bmw and now my toy the FJR. Fast, good curving even with 2 on it, achieving max speeds fast at any gear.What I enyoy most is riding on the mountains with closed curves at speeds around 160km. Just leave third gear in, and no brakes will be needed to gain high speeds and quick braking, if needed so.... The only big problem I do have with it, is my wife and 2 sons that are fighting who to take with me for a ride.... Show less

The FJR 1300 is a super sport tourer. It is quick, it is fast, it is smooth and doesn't shy away from a curve, and it also stops very well. The luggage is a welcome addition and if that's not enough, there is a trunk available. It is comfortable two-up, has good range with a 6.6 gallon gastank and the windshield is adjustable. Is it perfect, no, but it does so much so well it's darn near. A couple of suggestions, for Yamaha, would be a slightly taller windshield, an electronic cruise control option, and maybe some reduction of heat at the leg area. If you haven't noticed though, "I like it, I like it a lot!!" Show less

great bike, handles nice, great 2 up. First new Japan bike in 30 years, worth the wait Show less

As with every Yamaha I have ever owned, the clutch on the big FJR can't handle high-speed launches. Too bad. Otherwise, a heck of a tool for cruising the interstate. Show less

This bike has everything I need for my long Europe tours - comfort, power, safety, fiability and great performances. Riding a Yamaha FJR1300 is feeling absolute perfection ! Show less

The ultimate bike! Before there was a Sport Tourer now this bike creates a new niche the SUPER SPORT tourer!! Great Bike! Top Job Yamaha! Show less

What an awesome ride. Smooth, fast, fun. Does effortlessly what I'd have to push my FJ-1200 to do. Makes my commute over Balcom Canyon to Simi Valley a blast and the hard cases have become indispensible for carrying stuff. Best of all, My wife LOVES it! My "Silver Dream". Show less
