Depends what you want really. If you want a retro, grunty slightly
sporty muscle bike, the XJR is for you. Get one while they're still
air-cooled. Not a license-loser or a plodding old chrome barge but lots
of fun, in the right hands it can show up the Power Rangers.
I've had mine 3 years and I'll never want anything else!

Couldn't agree more, but mines the older 1200 model which has the
advantage that it can take a few re-bores whilst I understand the 1300
is a fully bored out unit.

Actuazlly there is a Big Bore option available for the 1300. It's
actually only 1250cc capacity and I know of examples bored out to 1400
and 1500cc.

Check there for mods and bore sizes available.

I am only quoting what I read in the manual.

the 1300 has liners in the barrels which means it lasts longer I have done
all the mods to mine without going for bigbore and she is putting out 140bhp
:) and still as reliable as ever.but the thing is they can be lots of things
from a
standard all round machine to a retro that can beat the sports bikes you can
do whatever YOU want
