The highly advanced FJR1300AS is like nothing else. And what sets it apart is its electronic clutchless gear shift system that allows you to change gear with your left foot or thumb without using the clutch lever. Which means less effort and more enjoyment on every ride.
This sophisticated long-distance motorcycle is also equipped with the latest electronically-adjustable suspension system featuring upside down forks - allowing you to modify your preload and damping settings at the flick of a switch.

Incidentally, if I convert £ to $ (based on today's conversion rate of $1.70 to the pound), I get:£13699 = $23266

£14499 = $24625

£15399 = $26153

(UK prices include all sales taxes, pre-delivery and 600 mile services, two years manufacturers warranty. There may be something like £100 to add for registration and stuff.)
