2001 Yamaha FJR1300 review from New Zealand
"Superb all rounder with lots of presence"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
This bike is like a rocket away from a start.
Handling into corners feels a bit baggy.
Screen when up pulls your head towards the clocks. Odd feeling that.
Seat is comfortable for relatively long runs, but could be better.
Long distances between fuel stops. Great for a tourer.
Easy to keep clean with the shaft drive.
