Finally....!

[finallygotone]

As my name on here implies..... after riding bikes as a kid.... entirely Yamahas (GT80, YZ80, YZ125 and finally a WHITE IT250) i got my license as an adult.
I have always liked the FJ and remember when they came out... thinking, 'ohhhh i'd love one of them!' A stint with a KLR650 as my 'get back into a bike' i decided to get an FJ. A search at the opportune time landed me a 90'.
With only 47,000kms on it and looking like it came out of the showroom.... i couldn't turn it down. Given the fact the previous owner was an ex-Yamaha mechanic and rebuilt it entirely at 45,000..... bored out first time. All new internal chains, cams, seals etc.... was an offer i couldn't refuse.
It comes with a few extra farkles but ill will soon add a few of my own i hope.

Thanks all.....

Welcome mate, sounds like you got a bargain,  I was the same, 15 yrs old , 1985 and sat on my first ever in the flesh fj1100 , sold from that day on , and about 20yrs later finally bought one

Welcome to the best club for  FJ owners. Sounds like you got a good deal on a great bike. Or is that a great deal on a good bike? Either way, welcome to the Kookaloo zone of the rest of your life..... Watch out for Moditus... You have been warned...

Welcome Mark, yep, the classics always come back, and the FJ is a classic.

Thanks for the intro.

Welcome to "farkel heaven" !! She is a great ride. Take some time to get acquainted with her and her quirks. I can tell you she doesn't enjoy just sitting around and likes to run but be careful she can be a handful.
