Has anybody seen the xjr's selling in the Europeon market? Sure looks like a good modern upgrade for our Xj's. Too bad they are not offered in the USA.

Yes - it looks so much like the maxim it is scary... I'd love to own one.

The yellow and black race colours of Yammie would be very unique here.

I sit panting and glaring into the pc , the wife calls me , I wipe the drool from my chin and chant incessantly......I want one, I want one, I want one!

If your interested in the Yamaha XJR 1300 or even the XJR1200 that Yamaha unfortunately never brought to North America. You should take a look at the Kawasaki ZRX 1200 R. Its a very similar bike and makes a nice modern alternative to our older XJ bikes. To bad that Yamaha and others like Honda with there CB1300 never made it here.
