AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF YAMAHA'S LEGENDARY

FJR1300 SPORT-TOURING MACHINE!

Guys, feast your eyes on this absolutely spectacular 2004 Yamaha FJR1300!

Here's a motorcycle that I could have spent the entire weekend riding. Whether you're heading to the beach, touring the countryside, cruising around the lakes, or setting out on a 10-hour cross-country adventure, this is the kind of motorcycle you can ride all day and still be comfortable when you arrive.

Yamaha's FJR1300 has developed an almost cult-like following among serious motorcycle enthusiasts, and for good reason. It's one of the finest combinations of superbike-level performance, long-distance touring comfort, reliability, and Japanese engineering excellence ever produced.

And this is no ordinary FJR1300.

This particular machine is in absolutely remarkable, exceptionally well-preserved original condition. From the gorgeous factory paint and pristine graphics to the immaculate Yamaha emblems, original warning decals, beautiful gauges, mirrors, windshield, and gleaming factory exhaust, this motorcycle presents like a machine with a fraction of its actual mileage.

With 45,000 miles, it looks & runs Like New & is an outstanding testament to Yamaha's engineering and the care this motorcycle has received throughout its life.

Best of all, it's been professionally inspected, serviced, and fitted with brand-new Dunlop tires right here at Kaplan Cycles.

It's ready for its next owner to get on and ride!

LEGENDARY 1,298cc FUEL-INJECTED INLINE-FOUR PERFORMANCE

At the heart of this magnificent sport-touring machine is Yamaha's incredible 1,298cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected inline-four-cylinder engine.

Producing approximately 145 horsepower in factory specifications, this exceptionally smooth, powerful engine delivers the kind of performance you would expect from a high-performance sport motorcycle, combined with the refinement and comfort of a premium touring machine.

Engine and drivetrain highlights:

• 1,298cc liquid-cooled inline-four-cylinder engine

• Approximately 145 factory-rated horsepower

• Dual overhead camshafts

• 16-valve cylinder head

• Electronic fuel injection

• Five-speed transmission

• Smooth, low-maintenance shaft drive

• Original factory dual exhaust system

• Upgraded K&N air filter

• Legendary Yamaha engineering and durability

The power delivery is absolutely phenomenal. Twist the throttle, and this machine pulls like a freight train, delivering smooth, relentless acceleration with virtually effortless highway passing power.

The Yamaha inline-four also has a sound all its own. Through the beautiful factory dual exhaust, it produces a smooth, turbine-like note that almost resembles a jet engine.

It's powerful, refined, mechanically smooth, and an absolute pleasure to ride.

These engines have a well-earned reputation for exceptional longevity, with many FJR owners reporting 100,000 Mile Plus six-figure mileage when properly maintained.

At approximately 45,000 miles, this example has been professionally inspected and is running beautifully.

EXCEPTIONALLY PRESERVED ORIGINAL COSMETIC CONDITION

What truly sets this FJR1300 apart is its remarkable condition.

We've handled thousands of motorcycles over the years at Kaplan Cycles, and finding a sport-touring motorcycle of this age that presents this well is becoming increasingly difficult.

Take a close look at the photographs and video.

Cosmetic highlights include:

• Beautiful original factory paint and finish

• Exceptionally clean original Yamaha tank badges

• Excellent original FJR1300 graphics and decals

• Remarkably preserved factory warning labels

• Beautiful factory instrumentation and gauge faces

• Excellent original windshield

• Pristine-looking mirrors and controls

• Excellent factory bodywork and fairings

• Beautiful original dual exhaust with gleaming chrome

• Clean and well-preserved engine and drivetrain

• Excellent overall fit and finish

• Clean, well-maintained appearance throughout

Even the original factory warning decal on the fuel tank looks like it was recently removed from its packaging.

The Yamaha emblems, graphics, windshield, and exhaust are all beautifully preserved.

This is clearly a motorcycle that has received exceptional care.

It is one of the nicest-presenting FJR1300s of this generation we've had the pleasure of offering.

ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTABLE WINDSHIELD & OUTSTANDING WIND PROTECTION

One of the most impressive features Yamaha incorporated into the FJR1300 was its electronically adjustable windshield.

With the touch of a button, the windshield can be raised or lowered to accommodate changing riding conditions.

Lower the windshield, and the motorcycle takes on the aggressive, sporty appearance of a performance machine.

Raise it for extended highway riding, and enjoy significantly improved wind protection and touring comfort.

The full-coverage aerodynamic fairing provides excellent protection for the rider's upper body and legs while maintaining the sleek appearance of a sport motorcycle.

Unlike many conventional touring motorcycles, the FJR1300 looks just as good parked outside your favorite restaurant as it does cruising down the interstate.

It's an ideal combination of form and function.

Additional touring features include:

• Electronically adjustable windshield

• Large aerodynamic full fairing

• Dual headlights

• Integrated fairing storage compartment

• Comfortable upright riding position

• Spacious rider saddle

• Generously padded passenger seat

• Passenger grab handles

• Comfortable handlebar and footpeg positioning

• Shaft-drive convenience

• Available Yamaha touring luggage accessories

Whether you're riding solo or taking a passenger on a weekend getaway, the FJR1300 delivers an exceptional level of versatility.

BRAND-NEW DUNLOP TIRES – PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED – READY TO RIDE!

This motorcycle has recently been through our service department at Kaplan Cycles and has received the attention necessary to prepare it for its next owner.

Recent service and inspection highlights:

• Brand-new Dunlop front and rear tires

• Less than 10 miles on the new tires at the time of our inspection

• New battery

• Fresh fluids

• Fresh engine oil and oil filter

• Brake system inspected

• Brake pads estimated at approximately 80% remaining life

• Lighting and electrical functions checked

• Switches and controls checked

• Engine performance evaluated

• Drivetrain inspected

• Complete mechanical inspection by our experienced technicians

• Road tested and running exceptionally well

Our technicians have gone through this motorcycle, and it has received an excellent mechanical assessment.

The engine starts, runs, and performs beautifully.

The throttle response is excellent, the power delivery is smooth, and the motorcycle handles exactly as you'd expect from Yamaha's flagship sport-touring platform.

No immediate service needs were identified during our inspection. It's ready to be enjoyed!

LOW-MAINTENANCE SHAFT DRIVE

One of the biggest advantages of the FJR1300 is its factory shaft-drive system.

Unlike a conventional chain-drive motorcycle, there is no exposed drive chain requiring regular lubrication, cleaning, or adjustment.

This means less maintenance, cleaner wheels, and more time enjoying the ride.

For serious touring riders covering thousands of miles, this is an especially desirable feature.

The drivetrain operates smoothly and complements the refined character of Yamaha's powerful inline-four engine.

SPORTBIKE PERFORMANCE WITH ALL-DAY TOURING COMFORT

What makes the FJR1300 such a special motorcycle is its incredible versatility.

It combines the acceleration and excitement of a high-performance sport motorcycle with the comfort and practicality of a dedicated touring bike.

The comfortable upright seating position places the rider naturally between the handlebars, seat, and footpegs.

You aren't hunched over the fuel tank like you would be on a full-on supersport motorcycle.

Instead, you're positioned comfortably with excellent leverage over the handlebars, outstanding control, and a spacious saddle designed for extended riding.

For two-up adventures, the rear passenger has a generously padded seat and convenient grab handles.

Whether your plans include spirited back-road riding, a weekend getaway, or a cross-country tour, the FJR1300 is exceptionally capable.

WHEN OUR LEAD TECHNICIAN WANTS TO BUY IT, YOU KNOW IT'S A WINNER!

Here's something that really tells the story of this motorcycle.

One of our lead technicians, Aaron, operates a motorcycle transportation business on the side using his Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and trailer.

Aaron was the one who picked up this Yamaha for us.

When he returned to Kaplan Cycles with the motorcycle, one of the first things he asked me was whether he could buy it himself!

That's right.

Our own lead technician, who works on and evaluates motorcycles professionally, was impressed enough with this particular FJR1300 that he wanted it for his personal collection.

I gave him the price, and he is seriously considered purchasing it if his wife will cosign the decision!

When one of your own top technicians wants to buy a motorcycle you've just acquired, that's a pretty strong endorsement of the machine.

And after personally riding this FJR1300, I completely understand why.

A TRUE MODERN CLASSIC WITH AN ENTHUSIAST FOLLOWING

Many owners have enjoyed these motorcycles for decades, racking up impressive mileage while continuing to praise their reliability, performance, comfort, and durability.

And the styling has aged beautifully.

Even today, this motorcycle looks modern, purposeful, and undeniably sporty.
