Hi everyone newbie to forum and FJ's but not bikes.
Currently in Michigan but in the process of moving to Alabama.
Just traded my snowmobile for an 89 FJ1200. I always liked the looks of the FJ and have owned several sportbikes - Nothing this big though.
Current FJ has a ton of miles but is is pretty good shape and seems to be running good. The previous owner kept pretty meticulous notes on everything done to the bike.
Liking what I see here and looking forward to learning about these monsters.
Welcome to the 'virtual campfire'.
Not sure what you mean by a 'ton of miles' but there are FJ's out there with 100K + and at least one that I know of, with 200K + miles. So, relatively speaking, yours may well be a 'baby'.
Lot's of good folks, and good information here.

Ton = 143K, 1owner and I can tell you based on the notes how many - sets of tires, headlamps, oil changes etc. were done.
Welcome to the group!
that is a few miles for sure but the FJ can handle it.... as long as the bodywork/running gear is in good condition there is nothing wrong with the miles.
The bike was ridden.... and thats what they were meant to do :good2:
KOokaloo!

Hello and welcome.
I'd like to see a picture of you bike with those kind of miles.
I may be surprised.

I'll see if I can post a few pics later today.
lets see if I can post up a couple of pics. The bike is blue but looks black in the pics.
