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 am that about which you your parents have always warned !!!  :-)

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:
