Found this on the web. I dunno how accurate it is though;

In bike model names most letters have a meaning, but some are simply the designation given to a particular model, rather than giving it a full name.

F (usually at the beginning) means Four Cylinder. This was a letter adopted only by Yamaha, so an F as the first letter straight away means the bike is a Yammy! Honda also use F to denote four cylinders, such as VFR. Note placement of the F.

J refers to the engine type and frame design used in that model.

R (Used by many manufacturers) means the bike is a sports variant (stands for Race)

So while an 1 year old FJR might be completely different to a 5 year old one, the engine and frame are based around the same design, so it is still an FJR!

Many manufacturers name their bikes in this way. Some have given full names to certain models, such as the Fazer (FZR).

My 1st FJ was named Felicity Jane.

Other than that I have heard:
From Japan
Fuckin Junk
Fast Jammin'

Those just off the top of my head.

Acronyms are for everyone.

Interesting...I too have wondered for many years what FJ stood for. At times I thought it may have been For the Joy of the ride, or maybe Fast Journey, but those were just my feeble attempts at being clever. I believe a good friend of mine summed it up for me a few years back: He's been a riding buddy of mine for a good 15+ years and while I've been riding an FJ ('86 then and '92 now), he has always preferred the company of the ST1100 and more recently a ST1300. A good number of times I have razzed him about how the ST (especially the 13) looks an awful lot like an overgrown scooter and as such I may have mentioned once or twice that the letters ST stand for Senior Transit, or Step Through. Of course, I've also told him that the ST shares many of the same components, such as the chassis and tail-light assembly from the Honda Accord and that looking at one from the front it's easy to mistake it for the Honda Silverwing. Well, he finally came back with a fitting meaning for FJ, or at least it's owner: F-ING JERK!

Ahh, good times indeed...

Thank you Miked for the seemingly logical info & thank you everyone else for making my laugh. I'm glad I asked.

When I bought my first bike, an 82 Honda CB900F, I asked the guy what the F stood for & without hesitation he said "Fast" My FJ makes that thing kinda feel like a scooter
