Seen a lot of info on this smoking site but have not come across a great question for a great bike. My question is " How many 1200's were made worldwide?" obviously the best ones! And how many went to north america? for the record all FJ's rock as we all know, but those damn 86's are so slick. :flag_of_truce:

...and red is scientifically proven to be the fastest colour too!

Is that why Ferrari often is red?  :wacko3:
Remember as a kid my dad used to have the red and white bike of awesomeness! I am pretty sure that bike got more love then my mom! No wonder they divorced  :lol:
I really loved that bike as a kid and was memories came back when i was able to get one my self :dance2: Hmm... perhaps i need to reconsider to paint the bike in its original color insted of blue as I intended?

Anyway, red being the fastest color and all, that makes me think, why don't i have a red car??
Whant to check out my photos on the bike??

You couldn't afford the speeding tickets?

Hehe... Well that's partly true though. The government here in Norway have set a numerous unrealistic fees for speeding. I mean they are really really ridiculous..

For instance, speeding 20 kmh over a 50 kmh limit will give you a fine of approx. US $1100 and 3 dots on you license. And it only gets worse... 6 dots and pooof your license is long gone. Watching TV show like speeders etc just make me lough, would take those fines in a hartbeat :good2:

But i guess every country have stupid laws similar to this..  :smile:

Cheers

Black is good to. IF YOU CANT LOWER IY. CHROME IT. IF YOU CANT CHROME IT PAINT IT BLACK. Worked well on the street / show cars I used to build. Sometimes getting a coke can sideways under them was a bother. Usually meant an UNROADWORTHY NOTICE. Worth it though. Night time on bumpy roads watching the sparks fly from the extractors hitting the ground was fun. The law didnt look at it that way. Party poppers
