- We've been testing the 2015 Yamaha XJR1300, a universal Japanese motorcycle that's suddenly gone a bit 'yard-built special'.
Find out what Visordown Editor Steve Farrell thinks of the reinvented muscle bike and read his full review here: www.visordown.com/road-tests-f...

A great bike. It made history. :)
bought one today. racer in black.
i bought a blue one 2 months ago just love it. i have other bikes fz1n and a cbr 929 fireblade so i ride fast really fast lol. but the xjr is what biking is about. my only complaint is my fuel light came on at 76 miles i was pushing it a bit but i am finding i am having to fill up ever 80 miles or risk not finding a fuel station. but as its my Sunday bike its not a big problem at all. Just love the bike. have fitted a nice exhaust sounds the dogs bollocks. just waiting for the tail tidy.
Absolutely agree with your last comment
I wonder if the front Cowl on the racer model will fit with the standard bars? Love the look of the Cowl but not so keen on clip-ons for all day rides etc.
Either way I'm 99% sure this will be my next bike once I upgrade to an unrestricted license next year
It's crazy they stopped making the GSX1400. One of the most brutal motorcycles ever made.
Please put those mirrors out! >.< We talk about cagers not checking mirrors, so we need to be all over that ourselves.
aTuWitty Er, the mirrors are positioned correctly. The rider's view is different to the camera's.
Visordown Motorcycle News look at 1:26, 1:58, 3:33... almost every shot from the faired second bike has the mirrors all the way in and nearly pointing at one another!
Visordown Motorcycle News does he have eyes on the side of his head?
+Visordown Motorcycle News The red bike following and recording, not the XJR.
ABS will become mandatory at the end of this year (2015). Do you guys believe this model could be gone next year from the catalog ? I'm wondering what to buy. Got my Monster 821 stolen and I'm looking for a bike to replace it. The XJR 1300 is a possible choice, but I'd rather grab the ABS version. Wondering if Suzuki will update this model with ABS.
Still can buy them new in Australia but they are the older model with the steel tank
even with every optional extra it's still cheaper than the standard BMW.
These published horsepower figures are funny things. Both the XJR and the GSX 1400 look quite tame on paper, but they are superb engines with ample power where you need it and still go like stink. Really, I take little notice of the sales figures any more, go test. ;-)
It needs "Speed blocks" . Whats that?
Speed blocks are those Yamaha squared stripes on the sides of the tank on old Yamaha bike (Tenére) and the retro SCRs etc
You look so much like a younger version of Liam Neeson!
Good review btw :)
U are so rightXD
yay they brought the xj back!
It is a beautiful bike and looks to be much more practical than the Vmax. Why doesn't Yamaha want to add ABS?
+Gerhard Symons It's not ABS which is the problem but the EURO norm. Bike is air-cooled. To move it to EURO4 you need to replace the 1300 air cooled EURO3 engine with a water/water-oil cooled engine, and that adds cost to the development/build of a new model. Yamaha has decided to replace the 1300 with the GSR900. The GSR900 engine is very fine, but that bike is absolutely horrible to watch compared to the 1300 XJR... The main bike structure as seen from the sides on the GSR900 is a piece of turd, visually.
With only 98 bhp seem to me low powered for a 1000+ cc motorcycle, I would expect more from a big naked retro muscle bike, it should be at least 130 bhp for these type of bikes. I love the design and excellent looks of it, but I expect more power out from these machines. For a bike that delivers less than 100 bhp there are other cheaper options on the market with less weight and under 1000 cc engines which delivers the same power.
Its not about bhp its about torque and belive me this bike has torque I have a 2002 moddel with full akra exchaust and tuned and its about 130bhp
All about the beefy train pulling torque
WHY ISNT THIS IN AMERICA I WANT ONE!
I heard the same comment many years ago from the USA. I have no idea why you don't get the big Yamaha.
It looks. You're #1! whirl labored What do you think, guys? 11
Looks cool but I'll keep my ZRX1200r
Plastic tank?!? Hmm...
Looks like a fucking tank!
L
Yamaha took a beautiful bike and make look fugly to appeal to some sort of dick fashion. Vile!
