Great riding, beautiful high speed lines, lots of respect to other riders, What a motor, the way it pulls from such low rpms Awesome Video, raw and unadulterated. Many Thanks for sharing.
Hi All It was a 2003 XJR 13 Eddie Lawson rep , Tuned and a great bike, at the time 43k on the clock, Great bike, Wish I kept it, 140 MPH was quick enough !! was meant to be filming me good friend the Hoft on his Z8 but I love the first section to the bungalow, I'm on a Harley sports glide this year again and like the XJR they are underestimated and great bikes, cheers Booze
I drag raced my Harley Vrod 1250 against my brother in law's XJR1300SP at county Shakespeare raceway, and although I beat him for the first few yards, he passed me at the line by half a bike. Good bikes.
I owned a 2000 XJR1300 and although it was a good bike, it would tank-slap on fast bends with uneven surfaces. Yours looks stable however. Have done any suspension mods or fitted a steering damper?
Nice Sunday afternoon ride in the countryside. Where are the balls-out, peg-scratching XJR1300 videos? Anyone can ride a 600 or 750 around the TT, but an XJR at full pelt? Maybe I'll have to do it.
I am actually looking to buy a XJR1300, a big upgrade from what I have ridden before (mostly 250cc). I know is quite a big jump, but the price and the conditions of the bike make it a sin not to buy it. I was surprised to see the video, I have read that is a bike smooth to drive but also heavy and a little bit complicated on the corners... what is your feeling on this ???
Angel Duque xjr 1300 best bike I've owned good all-rounder plenty of torque in all gears allthogh it's no supervise it does everything well and the engine is bullet proff, go for it.
I have recently bought a 2001 XJR1300 SP. You will be amazed at how easy it is to ride. The weight is held low so it is maneuverable in a way that a way that a 1300 cc muscle bike has no right to be. The engine is the headline act though. So smooth and tractable from any rev range. This is the most fun I've had on a motorbike in years.
