FJR1300

Yamaha's FJR1300 has defined sport-touring since 2001 with a 146 hp inline-four, shaft drive, and electronically adjustable suspension — the 6.6-gallon fuel tank and 26,600-mile valve intervals deliver exceptional range and low maintenance. Electronics are dated (no cornering ABS or IMU); buyers who want current technology should compare the Tracer 9 GT+ before deciding.
