New fuel injection and EXUP valve for 2009 XJR

FOLLOWING HOT on the heels of the Japan-only Kawasaki ZRX1200 that was announced by the factory last week, this is the newly-revised 2009 Yamaha XJR1300.

Cosmetically there are only tweaks and different colour options (one of which is the solid black, which does look pretty trick), a new fuel injection system and an EXUP valve system to help the bike be cleaner burning.

Yellow-covered brake calipers mark out the model as the latest version too. Price is expected to be around £6,700 when it goes on sale in the UK next year.
