## 1985-1986 Yamaha XJ700: A Comprehensive Overview

The Yamaha XJ700, introduced in 1985, was a groundbreaking motorcycle that combined raw power with exceptional handling and versatility. This mid-sized sport tourer quickly gained a reputation as a reliable and exhilarating ride, catering to a wide range of riders from seasoned enthusiasts to daily commuters.

### Engine and Performance

At the heart of the XJ700 lies a robust and technologically advanced 689cc, air-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine. This powerplant delivers an impressive 70 horsepower at 9000 rpm and 46 ft-lbs of torque at 7500 rpm. The engine's DOHC design and four valves per cylinder maximize airflow and enhance combustion efficiency, resulting in crisp throttle response and smooth power delivery throughout the rev range.

### Handling and Suspension

The XJ700's handling is equally impressive, thanks to its lightweight aluminum frame and optimally tuned suspension system. The front end features a conventional telescopic fork with 39mm stanchions, providing excellent damping and feedback, while the rear suspension employs a monoshock with adjustable preload, allowing riders to tailor the bike's handling to their specific preferences and riding conditions.

### Braking and Safety Features

Stopping power is ably provided by a dual hydraulic disc brake system at the front and a single disc brake at the rear. These brakes offer progressive and responsive feel, inspiring confidence even in demanding situations. The XJ700 also comes equipped with a hydraulic clutch, reducing lever effort and enhancing rider comfort, especially during extended rides.

### Ergonomics and Comfort

The ergonomics of the XJ700 are designed to foster both comfort and control. The upright seating position provides a commanding view of the road, while the wide handlebar offers a natural and comfortable reach. The plush seat, generous legroom, and adjustable windshield further enhance the bike's touring capabilities, enabling riders to enjoy extended journeys without discomfort.

### Styling and Aesthetics

The XJ700's styling exudes a timeless and understated elegance. Its sleek fairing incorporates wind-channeling lines, reducing drag at higher speeds and providing improved wind protection for the rider. The angular fuel tank, muscular side panels, and elegant tail section create a cohesive and visually distinctive aesthetic.

### Conclusion

The 1985-1986 Yamaha XJ700 is a testament to Yamaha's engineering prowess and commitment to rider satisfaction. Its potent engine, precise handling, comfortable ergonomics, and versatile styling make it a compelling choice for both experienced riders and those seeking an entry into the world of sport touring. Whether it's carving through winding mountain roads or navigating urban traffic, the XJ700 delivers an exhilarating and rewarding riding experience.
