Man, let me tell you about this Yamaha FJR1300 I’ve been checking out. It’s a beast of a bike, and I’ve been really diving deep into the details, especially about its weight.
So, I started by scouring the internet, just trying to get a basic idea. I found some general information that it’s a pretty hefty machine. Some sources said around 644 pounds, others a bit different, like 537.9 pounds. It got me curious, so I decided to dig further.
Delving into the Details
I hit up some motorcycle forums, and those guys really know their stuff. They were talking about different models and years, and how the weight can vary. I learned that the Ultimate Edition, for example, has a wet weight of 635 pounds for one model and goes up to 653 for another. That’s without any extra gear or anything, just the bike as it is.
- One guy on the forum mentioned he weighed his FJR1300 with all his touring gear, and it was way over 700 pounds. Yikes!
- Another person shared that they had an older model, a 2004, and it was lighter, at just 537 pounds.
- Someone else chimed in about the 2006 model, claiming it to have a dry weight of around 590 pounds.
I also stumbled upon some official specs. They were talking about horsepower too, about 144.16HP and a 1298cc engine. But the weight was what I was really after. They listed the seat height as well, around 31.7 inches, which is good to know.
Putting It All Together
After all this research, I realized the weight of the Yamaha FJR1300 isn’t just one number. It depends on the year, the model, and even how it’s equipped. But generally, you’re looking at somewhere between 537 and 653 pounds for the bike itself.
It was a fun little investigation. I always like to know what I’m dealing with before I make any big decisions. This Yamaha FJR1300, it’s a solid machine, but you definitely need to be prepared for that weight. Now I know! I feel much more knowledgeable about it.
