Any and all are suitable!  Later ones were a little more refined if you are looking to do long distances. 

Good luck on your search!

Welcome Tunza, you might need room for more than one. Just saying...
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Welcome to the Forum  :hi:

There is a large contingent of FJ Owners in Australia and a few in the Melbourne area. Good luck in finding THE FJ that becomes your Forever Motorcycle.

G'day and Welcome Tunza

There's a few FJ's around but you'll probably have to do some work on them but having Triumphs sounds like you're used to that anyway  :biggrin:
Which part of Melbourne, it's such widespread.
