    Rest [Applause] Ball [Applause] Restall hello and welcome along to Eclipse motorcycles out on the ride test of this if you haven’t seen the walk around video go watch that one first but this is the full ride test of the FJR from Yamaha fgr 1300 and they have been said to be very

    Similar to the GTR fitted with Optimizer battery is stored just under the front right hand side of the fa but it has got an Optimizer Port so you can plug in an Optimizer on this which comes with the bike stainless cans twin discs front and single disc to the rear which is

    Absolutely massive running nissing calipers on this one set of paniers as well in the black just to set the bike off side stand and Main stand and loads of room for your plian passenger with plenty of room for those grab hold tank is in perfect condition aftermarket tank

    Pad on there and it’s also fitted with a Garmin satnav and a data tool alarm so just 26432 m on the bike fuel water battery charge everything is there that you need to see and it has that adjustable electric screen which we will be showing you once we get out on the

    Road 5-speed box being an older generation FJR and a little bit of storage to the front it locks once the ignition is off so very good bike this one perfect ride and we are going to take this out and just see what she is like now it has

    Been said it resembles very similar to the Kawasaki GTR 1400 very similar in design but a couple of differences obviously the GTR 1400 is a full hyperbike this is more your sports tour and remember to put the side stand up before you start the bike in

    Gear so let’s get off and have a ride and first all feet up and just Feathering that back brake low speeed handling it handles exceptionally well for a big bike so let’s just roll down and see what she will do as we take it around the corners but low speed handling is very

    Very good now we’re going to start off with the screen in its down position with the visor up and you can obviously hear there is a little bit of wind noise that is just coming over the top of that screen bottom of my chin is dead level with that

    Screen all your water temperatures displayed at the top your fuel your battery everything you need to know and you’ve got your gear light there as well just wait for the traffic to clear and we’ll get it out and run it up to speed so into first gear we pull away first second third

    Fourth and fifth now you can tell there’s a bit of wind noise going on but once you do this with the visor up you can see hardly any wind noise that screen comes up right level with the top of my lid so very good to see and excellent should you be wanting

    To obviously have a conversation via cardo or chat with your Pon dropping down through the box clicks down absolutely perfectly all the way down to first gear no issues at all from that gearbox tail Towes come up at the top of your main cadile now obviously with a ging satinav

    On here absolutely perfect place to see it and the mount is already there just you’re leaning it over gently through the Corners take our time come off the other side and we’re going to give it a big handful of beans there we go and once again it’s one of those

    Bikes that is a li taker there is absolutely shedloads of power sitting at 70 but it’s there if you need it and it would perfectly cruise at a fre figure number all day very very similar in ride style and position to the gt400 and obviously being Yamaha you know it’s a good

    Brand and there’s a lot of obviously the motor bloggers and the touring guys that do use these bikes it is very quiet so you don’t get a lot of noise from the exhaust so it’s more of a stealth machine than anything just nice and gentle under the bridge do the

    Obligatory and it’s got that typical Yamaha wine to it but feeds through the roundabout very easy with one hand very flickable for a big bike and it is that perfect cruising and touring machine so if this is the bike for you and you do fancy yourself a nice big

    Sports tour the naha FJR is the obvious perfect bike you can give the bike sales team a call 01908 643 603 is the main garage line bike sales line 01908 82458 or you can find the bike up on our website which is Eclipse motorcycles mk. cod. UK give the bike sales team a

    Call and you could be taking this one away but loads and loads of power there should you need it and it is in perfect order obviously a couple of small things that we did pick up on they will be sorted pre-sale so everything goes out absolutely 100% has been pded and

    Checked service history is very good on this as well so until we meet again on the next test ride be well ride safe and from RB as always it’s a big goodbye from me

    1. wonderful bike. it was a contender when i was looking two years ago. i started on a yamaha 23 years ago. i felt like it had a smaller image on the road and less wind protection for long distance as i am wanting to do. thanks buddy.

    2. Looks like it has an aftermarket Cal Sci windshield fitted. They had the hole at the bottom. Massive improvement over standard. The main issue with these bikes id=s that the suspension linkage at the bottom is properly serviced and lubricated to prevent seizure and collapse.
