2007 Yamaha FJR1300AE Sport Bike reviews

I replaced my VRod with the FJR 1300 AE. Rider comfort is the biggest gain for me, but I do love the ABS brakes and the futuristic styling and the body fairing. With the added trunk, it is an awesome touring bike. You can ride this bike in a rainstorm and not worry about it. Remove the side suitcases and trunk, you have a beautiful sport bike. Open it up on the freeway, tuck in behind the windscreen and marvel at the little Japanese 4 cylinder purring under your legs. If you've ridden a cruiser for a while and know something's just not quite as good as it could be, try the FJR 1300 AE . Show less

I have ridden cruisers for years and didn't realize what I was missing! The electric clutch was a little tricky for me at first, but once I got used to it I loved it. This bike handles like nothing I have ever ridden! What an awesome machine. The power is incredible, and the handling superb! If you want a super sport tourer, this is the one! Show less

I absolutely love this bike. It rides and shifts smoothly. It is very powerful and extremely responsive. It's very well balanced and handles great in turns. I was skeptical about the electric shift at first but one test ride sold me. This is a must test ride if you are shopping for a sport touring bike. Show less

I ride the FJR as an alternative to my Stratoliner. I mainly ride the FRJ in the curvy mountain roads in Ventura County. At first I found the AE difficult to handle. At the higher elevations the engine balked. Once I found the right RPM, the FJR is awesome. Keep the revs above 4000 and you can take the curves and hills with ease. I find the handling for a sport tourer equal to my Kawasaki Concours 14. Excellent gas mileage on regular gas at around 43 combined and over 50 on the freeways. For older riders this is an ideal motorcycle. Show less
