Thanks Jim.

A couple of points on the article:
The '86's faring is "narrower" than the 1100's? I didn't know that.
..and the mirrors? He missed that... "...mounted on longer stalks so a broad shouldered rider can see what's behind him.."

I do like the comment, "...when you roll open the throttle on the 1200, you'd better have someplace to go because you're going to get there almost instantaneously...."

Kookaloo baby.

Thanks for posting that Jim. Great article - I love taking a stroll down memory lane once in a while. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be! I had an '81 Seca 750 back then and always liked the look of the Fazer. Back then I knew that someday, someday I would have a mighty FJ of my own...
