Been surfing the net looking for the actual day the FJ1100 was released,
seeing as it's the 30th birthday this year thought it would be nice to know the actual day????
Any body know??
:drinks: :drinks:
I vote for TODAY!!!
Anyone care to organize a little party in their honor?
(popcorn)
Just because, it would be interesting to know who in the forum has the lowest 1984 serial number / oldest bike. I have to wait 6 more years......
George
The serial number on my 84fj is JYA50H000EA002266. When I bought insurance for it before I picked it up in Spokane that number would not pull up on any DMV list.Did not make me feel good as I had already paid for it. Examined the frame and that was it. :good2:
JYA50H004EA001301 What does the winner get? :drinks:

There are no winners here... ** :biggrin:
**Probably only veteran ECSR goers will get the reference.
000303 Bought her in May 1984. The first FJ to arrive at Champion Motors in Costa Mesa, Ca.
It cost me a 5 pizza lunch for the shop, but they let me watch while they opened the shipping crate and put her together.
I've been waiting for the FJ since I started reading about them in '82.

I have a 02/84 1100 with 000115, but its in project condition & may end up a Cafe Racer with a 1200 motor.
My good 1100 is a 12/84 005197.
I also have a 12/85 1200 that is 000169 & another one 000254.
:hi:
My 1984 FJ1100 has a serial number of 000142, manufactured in 2/84. To the best of my knowledge production started with serial number 000100 in February of 1984 for the FJ's imported to the U.S. The Red/Silver combo was only produced through the summer of 1984. I used to have an 1985 FJ1100 that was Red/White with a manufactured date of 9/84. This leads me to believe the Red/Silver model was only produced for about seven months, thus the reason you don't see very many of that color combination.
Did you buy #142 from Marc Rittner in SoCal?

Pat,
I can't remember the gentleman's name that I purchased the bike from, however, he was here in Colorado, only about twenty miles from me. I restored the bike to original condition, I included a picture in the photobucket link.
