Title: Another new FJ owner from Michigan
Post by: fjbobride1200 on May 03, 2011, 12:05:14 PM
I just picked up a 1986 FJ1200 with 24,000 miles on it from a friend at work. I have not had a bike for about 12 years now. The last one I had was and 1986 FZX700. Had several other street and dirt bikes for 25 years before that one. When this one came up for sale, there was no doubt that I had to get back into this sport. It is a great bike with a great following. Looking forward to some riding.

I agree: the 86 is the best looking by a mille. And the ugliest is the last one, I think

Welcome fellow '86 Newbie.  I took my '86 for a ride to the Fathers' Day Show & Shine at the local Hooters last year.  When I was done looking at the cars I came back to find a group of people admiring my bike.  I was asked why it wasn't with all the other show vehicles.  What an ego boost.

Welcome! Should I call you FJ Bob? We are kinda on a first name basis here... So the last bike you had was the FZX7?
Well lad you are in for a big suprise with your FJ1200.....

Hold on and yell Kookaloo!!!! Yell real loud! Hint: Above 100 it helps if you can tuck your helmet below the windscreen.
