One of the best XJR videos Ive watched, nice riding

Great Great Video!!! I have rode a XJR 1300 and must say it is an awesome Bike to ride...and to take it to it´s limites as in this video, is not for everybody...! It´s got a fabulous Torque. It is a Bike for Real Men!!!

hats off to anyone who can throw a xjr round like that on a race track great stuff.

Great ride! No doubt XJR has great charm and this pilot defends his position so powerful against hypersports ! compliments is a great video, great, thanks for having published!

Pretty impressive particularly more so if it’s not your bike. Love the modern retro bikes, thanks for the vid, great filming

Great vidio mate, my heart was pumping the whole 8mins 16seconds.

just watched this 2 more times bloody brilliant would love to have seen the look on those sports bike riders faces lol priceless

Bleeding hell never seen an xjr ridden that hard before i need some lessons from Mr Fish lol great vid

mate the xjr went great used to have one 1200 went to a zxr750 now im looking to get back to a 1300xjr simply because you have to ride them and not point and shoot there is a real art in getting these great bikes to handle and it was great watching the vid cheers

Great ride dude!! I got the GSX 1400 and like very much the XJR 1300, those naked bikes are monsters!!! Plenty of torque...

fantastic ride well done buddy, cannot fault you

Big wide bouncy thing! Brilliant!

Bloody hell! I was thinking of getting one of these for the commute to work - think it would be wasted on me after watching this - I can't ride like that - respect.

I would love to be able to race my bike around like that, twas nice to see the good old xjr1300 playing around

I used to ride my CB1300 Super Bol Dor like this -all be it maybe not as quick...hehe. Awesome dude !!! Gonna show this to my mate as he keeps saying that he cant come on track days as XJR is not suitable !!! hehehehe No excuses now !!!!

I found out that mine felt vague while riding fast round Yorkshire Dales sometimes.... And sometimes I rode with sports bikes and tipped into a corner faster than it felt it wanted to, and I thought...Oh sh*t but..... I just tipped her a little further and she hung in there. You can trust it more than you think mate. It's the rider that bottles out first. ;)

Maximum riding,maximum bike, maximum embarrassment for sports bike riders. Absolutely brilliant, I can't even ride that well in my dereams! Well done.

well, i've been riding supersport bikes for god knows how long. but shit the bed, i've been looking at getting one of these and, yup, getting one now. what can u ask for? grunt, power and comfort. true muscle bike.

Love the xjr getting a new one!! But think you should be in inters your getting in everyone's way lol

Staying with most of the sporties most of the time while on a muscle bike - respect!

Funny my XJR dosnt gan roond corners like that you make that owld 1300 sing well done great vid

Watched and commented before still good to watch , wouldnt like to go like that on my XJR its fitted with four Laser pipes Im pretty sure theyd ground , great riding both the xjr rider and camera biker

Jesus!!! That's brilliant, undiluted testerone!!!

think I will go and get me old xjr and put it through its paces but i dont think it has ever got close to being ridden as aggresively as tis bloody awsome

@reaperwayne Thanks for comments Mate. Great circiut to ride yer Xjr on.

Valentino Rossi drives one XJR 1300 and absolutely loves it

Is there anything left of the pegs? ^^ Awesome to see an XJR ridden like that.

Awesome, imagination what he could do on an FJ with Krauser luggage 🤣 By the way, I’ve taken a wee on that track.......in various places.

boy has that guy got some stones on him!!!! how long did the front pads last ? ;-) love the usual 1000cc sports jockeys who can't pass on a corner. top man

I thought I was the only one who does track days on an XJR, only done Mallory Park so far though, will be doing more this year, feel better for watching this, is the bike tuned, mine has 110BHP at the back wheel. Video on my channel.

@chopgr Could you please explain what technik is?. And ive had a look but cant find a video of you riding an xjr1300 on track to compare it with. Looking forward to seeing your video when you post it up.

Just watched this video again, and its fucking impressive. I own an XJR1300 2012, I love that bike, but riding it like this is just way beyond my capability. I bought it because I wanted to calm down a bit, I wanted a bike that doesnt yell at me to speed up all the time, and thats what I got. Still, it has more than enough power to give you a challenge when you want it to. The torque is a rush in itself. It feels like an 80's bike without all the crap.

Please be careful while getting used to it if you come from a 600 sports bike. Its a handful. It can be compared to the old Kawazaki Z1300 in terms of handling, except for the larger tyres and better grip. Also, I would swap the stock Dunlop tyres for Metzeler Roadtec Z8 since the Dunlops are horrid in wet conditions. They slide about if they even see a drop of rain.

Sub 1:50s put it the fast group i would say, all day long! Respect!

sorry lame question here, but is the filmed bike the XJR with the red leathers ?

I have to add that its not a beginners bike, I have heard some people say that it is easy to ride, but I disagree. Yes, it is easy to handle at lower to medium speeds, but it wants to go wide when you open it up a bit. It is also very little forgiving if you make a mistake, You will get into serious trouble if you try to take a corner too fast. More modern bikes will easily go around the corner if you just think about it, but this one requires some serious handling.

in fairness the only place he was overtaken was on the straights, which is to be expected on that bike vs 1litre spoerts bikes, good video :-)

was that 'the purple helmets' passing him?

que wuapo

Great video, used to own a GSX1400, but been looking at the XJR1300, don't know whether it is lighter but feels it. Not easy bikes to throw around these big retros, so f**know the stupid comments some of these knobheads have put on

I did a trackday at cadwell on an unfaired hornet. So understand the irony. But facts are facts, he gets passed a lot. Not surprising really - 1960's Paton really was where twinshock was at. You have to do what makes you happy.

@richardfromage67 I'm sorry i didnt mean to be offensive and insultive. No, i never ridden an Xjr and its not my cup of tea either but whatever works for you man. I did ride an Fz1 Fazer pretty aggresivelly though in the track and i have to say the "technik" that works in the SBKs is the same on any bike. BUT each to his own and whatever works for you +1300

@ZepsterControl Will post some more videos when i get chance. Thanks for coments.

what Mods have been done to this XjR??

Jonesy6723 your 28hp MZ its like a fart of a young neanderthal... The Xjr is a 250kg bike, with a big engine out on air, with almost no aerodynamic, with no fairings... Who give a sheet for laps and seconds... And for hornet... When a hornet see one XJR on street, he stop before he burn some feather...

"How to ride XJR in fast group"? More like "how to overtaken by everyone in the fast group". Ha ha! Anyway fairplay. Prob should of stayed in the intermediate group though. Lol

xjr is not for circuits

I ride an XJR have done since I bought it 9 years ago. I love pissing sports bike riders off who soon run out of talent and testees. Learn some riding skills then buy a crotch rocket.

Ridings OK....but why you riding a XJR1300 in fast group? It don't belong there..Doesn't matter who's riding it..
