Built around Yamaha's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2001 Yamaha FJR 1300 pairs a 1298 cc (79.2 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 145 HP (105.8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 126 Nm (92.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 111.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the FJR 1300 measures 237 kg (522 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.61 HP/kg (1.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 25-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 260 km/h (162 mph).
