Hey Y'all.

Well it's official.  I'm in love.  Just bought a 89 FJ1200 35k original miles.  I am the 3rd owner.  I put brake pads on it and changed the oil.  Took it out last Tuesday for the 1st time.  WOW!!! The torque is insane.  Bike rides like a dream.  The bike is bone stock.  Not a single mod has been done.  LOVE I tell ya. LOVE

If you think that is love, just wait for Moditus to bite you in the azz!
It only gets better from there.
Congrats from a former "all stock" owner!
Please post up some pictures! We love pictures!

Oh, just wait Big Bird...
I started with one and ended up with three 1200's.  Just had to have one of each "generation".  MANY guys here have multiples.  That has to say something about the bike.  That and people on this forum are exceptionally smart...
