2015 Yamaha XJR 1300 - have Yam finally nailed it?
« on: October 15, 2014, 03:27:24 PM »
Just seen the 2015 XJR - have to say I think Yamaha have nailed it with this bike. Absolutely love it (and I'm not exactly a Yamaha fan...).

What do you guys think?

James
This looks familiar to me.I have had 2 XJRs and loved them but this model is going the same way as the f1 and f2.Black engine again crap side panels and non chrome exhausts
Sorry not for me
Cheers

Blimey, looks like they made this just for me ha ha. I love the styling...mind you, I've got a lot of brown bikes, so what do I know about 'taste' ha ha...

Look like they will only be selling one then to a guy from the south of England.

I cant say it does much for me, something on it does not work , not sure if its the tank & side panel arrangement , but certainly not the fairing model,  mind you if i had one i am sure i would change my views

I like that James, apart from the rear light/plate bracket but I don't like them like that on most bikes as it looks like they don't know what to do with it to get the plate into a legal postion.

Yamaha's have always had a lot of black motors from aircooled RD's, DT's XS-multis XT's etc,

It's a really good looking motor I think in either silver ore black.
