Why are all of the FJ's listed as 1983 bikes?? Am I missing something?

Yes. The first model was more sport than touring. Lightest, fastest and best handling. Also the best looking! It was all down hill from there.    :biggrin:

Wot Dave said  :good2:. The 83 is a bit of typo weirdness. There were a lot of Katanas listed as 82, but were actually 80 & 81 models as well.

So they are actually 84's? I know that the early models were more sporty, I have one  :sarcastic: I was just confused because I didn't think any FJ's were actually made in 83.
