2019 Yamaha FJR1300

For over a decade the Yamaha FJR1300 has been a staple in the sport-touring world and the 2018 FJR1300ES carries that legacy with quiet confidence and high-speed comfort. Yamaha didn?t try to reinvent the wheel here?they just kept refining it until it was nearly perfect. The heart of the FJR1300ES is a 1298cc inline-four engine known for its smooth torquey powerband and bulletproof reliability. It churns out around 141 horsepower with enough grunt down low to make passing effortless?even with a passenger and loaded panniers. Matched to a 5-speed transmission with Yamaha?s slipper clutch and shaft drive it?s a touring machine that wants to hustle. Whether youre eating up miles on the interstate or carving through the canyons the FJR handles it all with poise. The ES in the name really earns its place. With electronically adjustable suspension riders can easily switch between preset modes for solo two-up with or without luggage plus damping adjustments for comfort or firmness. This takes the guesswork out of setup and lets the FJR adapt to changing loads and road conditions on the fly.
