2010 XJ 1300.....WHAT!? I WANT ONE!

How much does one of these bad boys go for over there

 

6349gbp or about 10,090USD


then figure in your sales tax, VAT, shipping, importation tax, any fees associated with emissions compliance etc...

 

This is a nice bike, and the most genuinely retro of all the naked Japanese 4 cylinders still available. After all, its got an air cooled engine !!! Its not outstanding in any dept, but a genuinely decent bike capable of fufilling many roles. Great bike for Seca fans with that huge FJ derived motor. It lacks the outright power of a Kawa ZRX1200, or the torque of the Suzi GSX1400 or Honda CBR1300, but its got enough to be enjoyable, and it handles decently. Pity they dont still dont offer the kenny roberts color scheme in black/yellow....best looking version by far. The curved downpipes look kinda weird too, dont ya think ???? Being from Ireland, though living in Boston, I get to ride all the types over there. I currently own a ZRX1200 and an FJ1200, ( Aside from a Seca 750 ) so I can make a good comparison.

 

Had to use google to find some pictures.

I like the modern seca look. I was hoping it would be a shafty with 4-2. (I like the symmetry and lack of chain maintenance.)

Other than it's nice looking.

If I had $20k I'd buy a new Vmax for the shafty and 4-2 and the POWER!!! (The extra 2k would go toward parts to make it "blacker" or carbon fiber covers and the tiny saddle bags that match).

 

In that case ill take just 2 please

 

I should think it would be a pain with EPA, since it won't have that label on
it. Here's a good read on it:http://www.superbike.co.uk/tests/Yamaha_XJR1300_bike_test_by_Superbike_magazine_news_69233.html
