Title: FJ Time again
Post by: barney fife on September 25, 2013, 07:55:48 PM
Bought a new 92 in 93 and kept it until at least 99, when I bought a Kawasaki ZRX1100.  Had 42,000 on it when I sold her to a good friend that fell in love with it too.  Have always told everybody that the FJ was the best sports tourer I have ever owned.  Just picked up a stock 93 with ABS, too clean and too good of a price to pass up.  Was an unplanned deal, and am excited about it.  Just going through it and making a few upgrades.  Will post some pics and details later.  She still feels great.  I endurance race an R6, but am more about smelling the flowers on the road.  Pumped to have another FJ. :yahoo:

Welcome to the group Barney  :good2: What part of the world are you in ? Post some pictures of your bike when you get some time. The FJ is a comfortable bike and there are a lot of mods to update her if you so desire.  :yahoo:

It's always good to hear of someone coming back to an FJ after owning other bikes.  Welcome to the group.

Riding it, makes me feel like I came back home.  Can't wait to get here all set up.  Already ordered parts for the Gixxer wheel conversion. :good:
