Positioned in Honda's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2003 Honda FJR 1300 features a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 143.5 HP (104.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 134.4 Nm (99.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 110.6 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
