yamaha Touring reviews

I would love to describe my experience with this mptorcycle, but I can't because I never got to see the motorcycle because your algorythem for entry to the sales list was prohibited to me due to my zip code being erroneously ignored . Although my zip code is and has been valid for the 32 yrs I've had it, cycle trader seems to think it doesn't exist for me and consequently refuses to search for my yamaha frjes. Who ever wrote the program should be notified if it's deficiency. I'll continue to search for my yamaha unfortunately without your help. Too bad we couldn't do business. Show less

This is my third FJR1300. I absolutely love it. The only reason I'm selling it is because I bought a newer one to replace it. It has Avon Storm tires, frame sliders, Cee Bailey windshield, OEM side bag liners, owners manual and shop service manual. Also fender extender, and maintenance records. Show less

It's truly the best bike I've owned so far. It offers a car-like comfort and powerful performance, making it perfect for long rides on the highway. The bike handles heavy traffic with ease thanks to its manageable size and maneuverability. It comes with plenty of storage space and comfortable aftermarket seats, ensuring a comfortable ride for long distances. The bike is built to last with a durable construction and reliable performance. The low-maintenance shaft drive eliminates the need for chain adjustments, making riding hassle-free. Exciting features like the electric windshield and cruise control make highway cruising a breeze, and they are easy to adjust when you're off the highway. The Akrapovic exhaust system provides a comfortable ride and quick power delivery, enhancing the overall riding experience. If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable, and feature-rich touring motorcycle, this is the one for you. Show less

Awesome power band, nice sound on Acceleration , Quiet cruising , 42 miles per gallon, all you will ever need unless your totally crazy !!!!!!!! they said they needed more , so how about the hundreds of HARLEYS you pass running the mountain twisties !! Show less

Wonderfull bike, drives like a train, powerfull, comfortable and sporty at the same time. Eats miles. Electric screen very easy to adjust on the way, lower on the highway, higher in the city. I drive with a modular helmet and i can have it open for speeds up to 70m/hr. In terms of reliability, no major problems. Show less

This is the best bike I have ever operated. It is beautiful, reliable, powerful, fast, easy to handle and superbly oriented toward long distance riding. It simply requires scheduled maintenance and it will last forever. If I were younger there's no way I'd be selling it. I have owned several of these motorcycles and this is the newest one I have owned. There are other motorcycles that compete in this class but they are either more expensive, not as well engineered or designed, more expensive to acquire and maintain, or some combination of these things.

Found a 2005 v star 1100 and pick it up for $1200. The couple didn't ride any more and were happy to see it go. Ended up selling it for $2900 just a couple weeks later. It was a great bike, but I didn't really think it was for me. Just a year later, since I had $$, I started looking for another bike. Found my 07 v star 1300 sitting on a street corner that had been there for awhile ( about 8 months). Once I was able to find the owner and test ride it ,found out it had a dead cylinder. Anyway, after agreeing with the owner that I would purchase the bike if I could take it to a shop and get it running, he allowed me to take it and 7 days and $107 later, the bike was mine. It is a perfect fit for me. I even tried to sell it but it's mine. So I ended up buying a trailer for it to be able to do some traveling with it. Show less

This is my 3rd FJR. Had an 1100, 1200 and now 1300. Love the adjusable wind screen. The original saddle was too rigid for me so I bought a Sargents saddle . $750ish. Also handlebars were a reach, so I sprung for a riser kit that raised the bars 1 1/4 " and pulled it back 2". $300 well spent. Good purchase, no regrets. Show less

The FJR1300 has been a gem in Yamaha’s crown for many years that continues to shine. The FJR1300 handles superbly. Whether be in twisting mountain roads or a cone course its deep lean angle affords precise and effortless handling. The in line 4 cylinder has power and torque throughout each gear. The locking saddlebags are keyed to the ignition and mount securely to the frame. Yet when unlocked allow for quick removal when you arrive at your hotel. The FJR1300’s styling simultaneously beautiful and aggressive. Sharp-looking bodywork and an air-management system keep the bike and rider cooler. A central vent beneath the instrument panel cools the rider and reduces negative pressure. The height adjustable electronic windshield reduces wind impacts on the rider and provides a quiet and comfortable riding experience. The long dual seat features 2-part construction with different foam densities for the front and rear sections, ensuring plush comfort for both rider and passenger. Show less
