Positioned in Yamaha's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Yamaha FJR 1300 AS relies on a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 141.5 HP (103.3 kW) 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.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,545 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability.
