The Yamaha Fjr1300es has a top speed of 240 km/h (estimated, manufacturer limited), produces 146 hp and weighs 289 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La Yamaha FJR1300 se presentó en 2001 como una motocicleta deportiva de turismo construida con un motor de cuatro cilindros en línea de 1298 cc, dirigida a los ciclistas de larga distancia que querían tanto rendimiento como comodidad. La variante «ES» (suspensión electrónica) llegó en 2006 e incorporó una suspensión ajustable electrónicamente para mejorar el control del conductor y la comodidad sobre la marcha. Se convirtió en uno de los vehículos deportivos más respetados de su clase, reconocido por su fiabilidad, protección contra el viento y capacidad de conducción durante todo el día.

Lo que los compradores deben saber

🔧

Shaft Drive Advantage

The FJR1300ES uses a shaft drive instead of a chain, eliminating regular chain maintenance and replacement costs. This makes long-distance touring significantly cheaper and less time-consuming to maintain.

⚠️

Watch the Shims

The FJR1300 requires periodic valve shim adjustments, which can be costly due to the labor-intensive process on this engine. Always ask for valve adjustment service history before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The FJR1300ES holds its value exceptionally well compared to most sport-tourers, thanks to its proven reliability and dedicated owner community. A well-maintained example can retain 60-70% of its value after 5 years.

2006–2012 Gen 1

El FJR1300AS pasó a llamarse ES en algunos mercados; se introdujo la suspensión electrónica y el sistema de amortiguación Öhlins semiactivo.

8.7/10

"El mejor sport-tourer que el dinero casi podría comprar."

Hice 28 000 km en una ES de 2009 y eso cambió realmente mi forma de pensar sobre la conducción de larga distancia: la suspensión electrónica Öhlins no es un truco; cambiar entre la Standard y la Sport en mitad de una curva es el tipo de brujería que hace que confíes en la moto de una manera que no cabría esperar de una moto que pesa casi 300 kg mojada. El motor de cuatro cilindros en línea de 1298 cc arranca a partir de 3000 rpm y no se queda sin aliento hasta que corres velocidades que acaben con tu licencia, pero también se calienta con tráfico lento y ese calor te hornea la pierna derecha de una manera que se vuelve realmente desagradable en los días de verano de 40 grados. La suspensión electrónica tenía una gran peculiaridad a principios de generación: el sistema de vez en cuando lanzaba un código de falla después de una fuerte lluvia, lo que te dejaba atrapado en la configuración predeterminada durante el resto del día hasta que apagabas y reiniciabas el encendido tres veces, como una especie de ritual. Aun así, ninguna bicicleta que haya montado antes o después carga equipaje, se adapta a las autopistas y luego recorre una carretera de montaña con este nivel de competencia convincente.

Pros

+La suspensión eléctrica Öhlins transforma la confianza en el mundo real
+Suministro de energía lineal y sin esfuerzo en todas partes
+Las alforjas caben sin necesidad de quitar los espejos
+El ajuste del parabrisas funciona con una sola mano
+Durabilidad del motor verdaderamente a prueba de balas

Reseña de un comprador usado

8.5/10
Lo mejor para
High-mileage touring riders wanting bulletproof reliability

"The definitive used sport-tourer that rewards serious, experienced riders richly."

$7,000-$12,500 used

The FJR1300ES is the sport-tourer that refuses to age badly. That electronically adjustable suspension isn't just marketing fluff — it genuinely transforms the bike between solo blasts and two-up touring duty, and you'll use it constantly. The 1298cc inline-four pulls hard from 3,000rpm and never feels dishonest about what it is: a serious, capable machine built for riders who actually ride. Check the shaft drive for any notchiness and verify the suspension electronics respond properly before buying — repair costs sting. Used examples tend to be high-mileage tourers, which is actually fine because FJRs are built for exactly that punishment. What you're really inspecting is maintenance history. Missed valve clearance intervals on these is common and annoying to fix. The panniers and electrically adjustable screen should operate smoothly — if they don't, walk away or negotiate hard. Above 70mph this thing finds its element completely. Wind protection is genuinely excellent, the heated grips work properly, and the fueling is clean throughout the rev range. It's not exciting — it's better than that.
