Hi

[fjfanatic]

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 


KOokaloo!

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