Overview
The Yamaha XJR1300 is a naked motorcycle produced from 1999 to 2018. The 2018 model has a 1,251 cm³ air-cooled inline-four, producing 98 hp (73 kW) and 108.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, with a wet weight of 245 kg.
The engine’s torque peak at 6,000 rpm means it delivers its strongest pull before the top of the rev range. Its 795 mm seat height and 245 kg wet weight are useful context for low-speed maneuvering, while the 21.00-liter tank carries a substantial amount of fuel without specifying how far it will go. The rear suspension uses Öhlins hardware, and the chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment; the 2018 model’s wet weight increased from 240 kg in 2017 to 245 kg.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong torque
Its 108.4 Nm peak at 6,000 rpm gives the engine strong pulling power without needing to reach its highest revs.
Öhlins rear suspension
The Öhlins rear suspension is a notable component for riders who place importance on suspension hardware.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 245 kg wet, the XJR1300 can take more effort to maneuver at low speeds.
Chain upkeep
The chain final drive needs regular cleaning and adjustment.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
