The Yamaha XJR1200 is a classic retro naked produced by Yamaha from 1994 to 1998. It is powered by an air-cooled 1188 cc inline-four derived directly from the FJ1200 engine, producing over 98 hp. The XJR1200 positioned itself as a powerful, no-frills roadster without modern rider aids, pure riding pleasure with a robust character. In 1998 it was succeeded by the XJR1300.
The XJR1200 appeals to motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate the directness and character of a large air-cooled inline-four. The riding position is upright and neutral, suited to both city and motorway. The model is now a popular choice as a custom or café-racer base. Parts are still available but becoming increasingly scarce. Not suitable for beginners due to the direct power delivery and substantial riding weight.
