Am I sinning? Unfortunately, Fred Flintstone is the responsible of making bike selections for the USA, so this is EU only ATM.

And 1985 called, they want their pencil-thin forks back right away. Title: Re: Yamaha XJR-1300 Post by: Privateer on October 11, 2014, 06:00:03 PM that exhaust is making me feel inadequate

Title: Re: Yamaha XJR-1300 Post by: Speeddog on October 11, 2014, 06:53:34 PM 2014 model was ~9800 Euro... so over US$12k. Title: Re: Yamaha XJR-1300 Post by: HotIce on October 11, 2014, 08:46:24 PM 2014 model was ~9800 Euro... so over US$12k. The exchange rate is very close to 1:1 for cars and motorcycles, at least for many EU manufacturers ;)Title: Re: Yamaha XJR-1300 Post by: GreasySnipe on October 12, 2014, 11:36:49 PM A tail chop of that ugly plate mount, Exhaust similar to Boomtubes or a Spark 2-1, Beefier Ohlins forks and some Clip-ons. I'd be in on that.

Title: Re: Yamaha XJR-1300 Post by: red baron on October 13, 2014, 06:04:17 PM Like it. Had a ZRX12R for a few years. Was a really good bike. Like a carbon copy minus some horsepower. Put some 50mm Marzocchi's and a turbo/supercharge on it. [thumbsup] Hey Stu, call yamaha could use your help.

The exhaust will have to get some aftermarket treatment, otherwise looks really nice to me.
