Yes, two wheels. Yes, it is hot here, no motorblog.nl. But this Yamaha is cool. Damn cool. So be warned, when the ‘read more’ is it about a motorcycle.

I, the undersigned, hold it for two-wheelers only in the non-motorized kind, but that is not to say that there are occasional feelings of pure jealousy rise up when I’m on a nice winding polderweggetje is overtaken by a man or woman in the leather. And very occasionally also call their machines a spontaneous Pavlovian response, as also happened when the device on the display appeared.

Yamaha celebrates with this XJR300 Yard Built its XJR-line twenty years on the market. Great engines, probably, that XJR’s, but my heart is not harder to beat. Three years ago, started Yamaha, however, with “Yard Build”, in which she is talented bike builders the opportunity to give a unique Yamaha to tinker. For this anniversary-XJR were the lords of roCkS!bikes put to work, and not without result.

The technique was largely left intact, the XJR1300 should do with an air-cooled 1251cc four-cylinder with about 100 hp. Less than 250 pounds of weight, enough for acceleration to the most sports cars (not all) are extremely difficult to create. And thanks to the lord of roCkS!bikes, the XJR there now also looks for.

Thanks to a small screen on the front, in line nicely through the rest of the bike, finished off with a delicious 70’s paintjob, the looks of the Yamaha as a classic racer instead of a good naked bike for commuting. Good news for owners of a standard XJR, because the shop that built them, will provide you with love the components to your own bike to upgrade.
