2007 Yamaha XJR1300 Review - The Iconic Muscle Bike That's Amazing Value - Why You Should Buy One! 

Agreed

I’ve on my second now, so I agree with you

@@Simonfnp Awesome big bike on a budget :)

Great vid as usual Sir👍🏻 Did you regret getting rid of her ? Only asking as I'm looking at buying 1. Cheers ✌🏻

@@justinturner4067 Thanks Justin, yes I regretted selling as soon as it rode off down the road! great looking bike, with plenty of power, just a very refined muscle bike that offers amazing value 😁

I tend to agree, I'm around 5.11 too, and so many bikes just look stupid under me! the T120 Bonneville and the BMW R9T are 2 other I love the look of, but feel a bit silly under me. but TBH I did like the feel of this One :)

My son had 2 of them, a 2003 and then a 2007 (which I've owned since 2008). He was 6'4", I'm 5'11". He fitted OK, as do I. My bike is the same colour but I've fitted a bikini fairing.

I have a CBR1100 Super Blackbird project bike coming up soon too! :)

I have to agree, I can see me regretting selling this if it goes! Glad you're enjoying your GSX Lee 😊

Has to be One pf the best Colour bikes I have ever owned, just looks awesome standing there! Thanks for your comment :)

Yes I totally forgot to start it sorry, but I always make sure to do a sound test now 😁

Great choice 😁

Awesome bikes for sure, and this Colour!!!

Great idea on the indicator buzzer Steven, thanks for your comment :)

Hasn't Yamaha had self-cancelling indicators since the 70s?

Unfortunately it had to go to make room for another project, but you're right, I miss it already! I doubt I will find One this good again for the money :(

I have the same 2007 bike same colour, 19k MLS, same condition. I'm 6ft tall and fitted renthal bars and custom (very comfortable) seat. I could be tempted to sell it for the right price.... Acceleration is awesome by the way, and I'm a sports bike rider.

I would say the CB1300 is more planted on the road, and turns in really well, but the XJR is truely a bargain Muscle Bike.... that will always make you smile 🙂

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I see. I had in mind for taller riders. :)

@@RRRRefuelRideRace The CB is shorter (lower) if memory serves 🙃

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes I completely agree. What about the GSX1400 and the ZRX1200?

@@RRRRefuelRideRace The ZRX is the most powerful on paper, but my favourite is the GSX - it's a real beast of a bike!

Agreed they do deserve to be used, but kept well too, this is a prime example of a well kept bike that was ridden on dry days :)

Yup :)

Well injection is more effective, and less maintanance, easier to fix issues generally without pulling the whole bike apart.

I never dealt with the vibration issues, but still awesome bikes :)

I did think about it, but as it's a stock bike I didn't think anyone would be hat interested? plus the other review on the XJR300 I did do a start up, so as I said, I wasn't sure there was a need this time. And I have been considering the S1000r fora LONG time, but it's a pretty small bike, and I'm BIG fella, when I tested them out a few Years ago, it felt tiny under me! but if I can find One at the right price, I will certainly be reviewing it :)

As mentioned in the video, this wasn't necessarily a "Review" more a revisit, as we did a review a couple of Years back, this is more about what a great bike this is for the money, and my thoughts on it.

I was actually there yesterday! and yes Rob's a great guy 😁

It's a totally different vibration on an on-line 4 engine though, a V-Twin will have a much lower rumble (vibration) and that I like, an in-line 4 tends to have much higher vibrations, in other words if I were to spend 5 hours on a Motorway riding a bike, I would much rather not have high vibes, the S1000XR from BMW is a perfect example pretty much every review on the bike states it's almost unbearable at Motorway speed due to the vibration issues, you wouldn't get that on the same size V-Twin. The Triple is a kind of compromise between the 2, and that's one of the reasons I love them!

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes wow , can’t speak for bmw, and not to bE argumentative either ….in past I had a sportster 1200 and if I rode for more than 30 mins on a highway my hands would seriously go numb and I’d feel the vibrations for long after…where any of my inline 4 engined bikes : 1981 Kawasaki csr650, 1982 Yamaha maxim 750, 1983 Suzuki gs850, 198? Kawasaki 750 , and now 2009 Yamaha fz1 ( that I haven’t really rode the fz1 yet as I just got it in December) all were ridden many hrs at a time and as soon as I got off the bike it was over….no numbness , no phantom vibration feelings …. I mean I get it I think.. I loved ripping through gears on my evo1200 sporty too, but I could never say that the V was more tolerable vibration-wise lol …to each his own ,and all that .plus most of my bikes were older ,maybe was different then?

@@vicpnut1 I can't say much for Harley Davidson as I've never owned one. But I did test ride a 2012 Fat Bob and it felt like a tractor! Not like an Italian V- Twin at all 😉

Yes great bikes on a budget!

Yeah I did check it for bugs after lol

Agree...snakes?😊

Yes me too :)

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes thanks makes more videos of xjr1300

@@sportslive8650 I have 2 on the channel now, did you see the other One yet?

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes ok boss 👌👍

I have to agree polished wheels look awesome, especially on my previous GSX1400! But I do like the Black look too sometimes :)

@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes the real shame as I commented on your previous vid, that bastard 4 to 1 exhaust :( 😖

Not sure why the plate is a bummer Jim?
