Yamaha FJR1300 First Ride

Two days of blasting around Spain’s Almeria race track and chasing twirling tarmac through the gorgeous, sun-drenched surrounding mountains wasn’t the test route I’d imagined for the Yamaha FJR1300 launch.

There are still three FJR models to choose from; A (£13,299), AE (£14,799) and AS (£15,499). All three get Yamaha’s new Slip and Assist tech and panniers as standard
