Description

The 1997 Yamaha XJR1200 delivers the kind of raw, approachable performance that defines 1990s Japanese muscle bikes. Its 1,188cc air-cooled inline-four provides abundant low-end torque and a satisfying mechanical connection that makes everyday rides feel lively and rewarding. The upright ergonomics and twin rear shocks offer a comfortable yet engaging riding position for both short runs and longer outings.

With just 5,483 miles and recent servicing after a period in storage, this XJR is easy to ride and dependable. The fitted Max Torque exhausts add a deeper note without compromising the bike’s classic looks, making it a handsome and characterful choice for riders who want presence and straightforward performance.
