Title: What's up from New York!
Post by: Medi on June 24, 2011, 01:37:32 PM
What's up guys, just got my 1986 fj1200 yesterday! It's got about 25k miles on it and is in pretty good condition. Can't wait to start riding it!

Welcome Medi,
Congrats on the beautiful bike! Begin planning now for the Northeast Rally, July 30-31, Bethel, Maine.
As an aside, how fucking many '86 FJ's did Yamaha make? I'm guessing a LOT. It would be an unstoppable force, if only they all had clean carbs.

The FJ1200 was the bike to have in '86.  I bought mine new and I used to see a lot of them around.  Not so much any more.  Congrats and welcome!
