Pros & What Makes It Special
● Low mileage for its age: under 12,000 miles is solid for a 2009, especially for a big displacement naked.
● Strong service history + recent maintenance: adds peace of mind.
● Quality upgrades — Öhlins rear shocks are a big plus, and the FIR exhaust gives it better sound and style.
● True character — the XJR’s engine note, torquey performance, and classic looks appeal to riders who want presence as well as performance.
● Naked simplicity — less to worry about in terms of electronic complexity, making it easier to maintain and enjoy.
IDEAL RIDER & USE CASES
This XJR1300 suits the rider who wants an emotional connection to their machine: the growl, the torque wave, the feel of raw mechanical essence. It’s ideal for:
●Weekend escapes or blast rides on A-roads.
●Urban cruising and showing off classic muscular styling.
●Riders who don’t mind doing (or managing) a bit of mechanical care.
●Those who love customizing or enhancing what’s already there. It’s a great platform for tasteful upgrades.
If your mix is more sport touring or long-distance comfort, this might require a few tweaks (windscreen, seat, suspension) to make it more forgiving. But if you’re chasing soul over sterile perfection, this XJR is a compelling pick.
