Yamaha XJR 1300 Eau Rouge by Deus
2014
2014
The 2014 Yamaha XJR 1300 Eau Rouge by Deus represents a striking custom interpretation of Yamaha's long-standing air-cooled muscle bike. This particular machine, a collaboration with custom house Deus Ex Machina, takes the robust XJR platform and imbues it with a distinctive, café-racer-inspired aesthetic. While the XJR lineage has always been about raw, unadulterated power, the Deus Eau Rouge elevates its visual appeal, placing it in a unique segment that competes with other large-displacement naked customs and even some retro-modern offerings like the Kawasaki ZRX1200R or the Honda CB1300.
At its heart, the Eau Rouge retains the formidable 1251.0 ccm (76.34 cubic inches) air-cooled inline-four engine. This powerplant generates a substantial 98.0 HP (71.5 kW) at 8000 RPM, providing ample thrust across the rev range. Torque figures are equally impressive, with 108.4 Nm (11.1 kgf-m or 80.0 ft.lbs) arriving at a relatively low 6000 RPM, ensuring strong acceleration from almost any gear. Despite its custom touches, the bike maintains a wet weight of 222.0 kg (489.4 pounds), which is considerable but contributes to its planted feel. The generous 21.00 litres (5.55 US gallons) fuel tank capacity offers decent range between refills, a practical touch often overlooked in custom builds.
Riding characteristics of the XJR 1300 Eau Rouge are defined by its big-bike presence and torquey engine. The custom modifications by Deus often enhance the naked bike’s upright stance, sometimes incorporating slightly more aggressive handlebars or revised footpeg positions for a sportier, yet still comfortable, riding posture. The seat height is a manageable 795 mm (31.3 inches), allowing a wide range of riders to flat-foot comfortably. Handling is predictable, benefiting from the robust chassis and suspension components inherent to the XJR platform, providing stability on longer cruises and confidence through sweeping bends.
The Yamaha XJR 1300 Eau Rouge by Deus appeals to riders who appreciate the classic muscle-bike formula but desire a distinctive, handcrafted aesthetic. It’s for those who value the reliability and power of a large Japanese inline-four but seek a machine that stands apart from stock offerings. This bike is less about outright speed and more about the visceral experience of a big, torquey engine combined with custom styling. Its blend of classic performance and bespoke design makes it a compelling choice for enthusiasts looking for a personalized, high-performance naked motorcycle.
