Hey guys,
at first I`ll wish a you a merry Christmas and a happy new year to all. And sorry for my bad English :wacko3:
`
Now to my person. I`m Ottmar (49 years old/joung) from germany and I`ll drive a FJ 1200 (3CW) for a couple of years. Before I go with a XTZ 750 Super Tenere for 93.000 km without any mistakes. I`m a federal police officer.
I`still reading here sometimes for technical information of the FJ 1200. Some guys here can be very proud of them bikes.
You can see some pictures of my bike at the gallery.
So go one and have a good time with your bikes.
greets from Germany

Riding in germany must be great. It's been 30 years since I've been but wow the roads.
My mothers side is from the Karlsruhe/Hiedelshiem area. I would love to go back as a adult, I didn't appreciate it enough back then.

Hallo, schön, wenn du dich uns hier.
Mein Sohn plant eine Reise nach Deutschland im nächsten Sommer, nur wünschte, ich wäre in der Lage, mit ihm zu gehen.
Bitte teilen Sie uns Ihre Erfahrungen mit Reiten in eurer Heimat, wie wir sehen, der Rest der Welt durch die Augen eines anderen Fahrers zu genießen.
Leon
Thanks to all for your wellcome words on this day. :drinks:
tranlation for german speakers:
Danke euch für das herzliche Willkommen in diesem Forum.
Ein Gedankenaustausch wäre nett, da es auch in Deutschland viele Liebhaber der FJ 1100/1200 gibt.

Welcome mate.

All the best. :hi:

Yes, the first time I went to Germany I thought "Ausfahrt" must be a huge town I'd never heard of since it was signed from everywhere. Also when I stopped my bike in a town I made note of the street name so I could find it again. The street was called "Einbahnstrasse".
Stuart
Yes, in german it means "one way street" :biggrin: and if you come from the wrong site of the street you met a lot of ughly people in front of you :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
I wanna take a walk along Action Strasse

Welcome Ottmar, from "across the street" in Hungary!
Hey Lodsokids, wellcome to hungary :gamer:
I meet this nice place of the would, fantastic food, very nice people and good roads everywhere...........................
I`d stayed in Somogybabod, Balatonlelle and Fonyod at the Balaton for many years for holyday with dirt bikes. And I`ll hope, I will see this places sometimes again - its not so far away from my homeplace - think 1600 km - a fast daytrip :sarcastic:
Have a good time and greets from germany
ottmar :hi:
I have no idea what I'm doing, but I am an FJ owner and want to know more about others who share the interest. Mine is an 86' FJ1100. The bike is in mint condition and only has 8,000 original miles. I have done some modifications, but I still have all the orignal parts. I would like to have some idea what the bike is worth, even though I would never sell it. My brother sold me the bike in 1990 for $500, so now it is a permanent member of the family. Any clues or info would be appreciated. Cordially, Geof

Hello, people, now I want to fancy in better languish ;-).
I`m 49 years old, grandpa for three times and of it 32 years on two wheels on the way. I come from Niedersachsen / Einbeck in central of Germany and am for a couple of years owner of the black 90th 3CW in the original state. I always had motorbikes. Begun with a YAMAHA DT 50, RD 50, RD 125 LC, Herkules KL 50, YAMAHA DT 125, SUZUKI DR. 125 SE, DR. 350 S., DR. 650 SE, up to the YAMAHA XTZ 750 Really Tenere, which me more than 93,000 km of the last years always faithfully has accompanied. My brother goes for many years a FJR 1300 and is very contented. I like personally rather old motorbikes, without whole technical spezials. Then I have seen on a meeting the FJ 1200 and have "fallen in love"! Now since the last year the black "thickness" stands with me in the garage, after I have driven them from the other country in germany got and the first 300 km of highway - a wide grin still has in the face, will not leave probably also any more Here in the forum I already pick up quite a while with and "eat" every technical tip formally. Before I was long years in a Tenere a forum and know the advantages if many get together with the same interests. Because now soon the winter begins, here I hope for him one, or other advice on my questions. First I greet to you everybody and wish everywhere good journey.

@Geoffry:
Hello, Geoff,
has studied once here in Germany the topical retail prices. You could sell a FJ 1100 with the kilometre achievement in Germany for 1600 US dollar.
But a tip of me, keeps them and still has a lot of fun with it. If you maintain them, she accompanies you still many years and sometime you can give them to your son. And also he will take with her still pleasure.
Many greetings
Ottmar :hi:
