Post by: petetb154 on September 21, 2025, 09:20:12 AM
This is one of those "I can't believe I'm selling this" bikes. I've owned this FJ1200 for 34 years - bought it when I was 16 and it's been my pride and joy ever since. I just can't keep dragging it around anymore and need it to go to someone who will actually ride and appreciate it.

Asking $5k.
