At 1050 Euros, and the photos that are posted, This looks like a heck of a deal. I have seen FJ's that look nowhere near as good as this one sell for more money.

Fred

Yep, I agree with Fred....
Judging by the picture of the clutch line, Looks like the bike already has braided ss brake lines...
Someone knows what they are doing, a very a good sign.

2) Don't store your FJ with E10 fuel https://tinyurl.com/3cjrfct5
3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.

Pat, you the man, thanks for pointing out those things (mirror view - braided ss brake lines), I think I start to get a sense of the use the bike has been given...the seller claims the fj was thrown in a deal for a van, and the owner was a bike collector, who has several 70's - 80's sportbikes.

FRed, thanks for the comment, but I still think that the price is a bit too high, mainly because he states in the ad that the bikes has 70.000 km and the asking price is 1.050 euros...so if the actual mileage is 104.000 km I should pay him 700 euros!

Here is more pictures from the ad now:




Thank you guys

Alvaro, BUY the bike, even though the mileage is higher than advertised, it could've just been an honest mistake by the owner when advertising. Not sure how much 1050 euros is but I think it would be a reasonable price for what your getting.

I saw a couple for sale in Australia the other night, they ranged in price from $4.000 to $6.000, and looked nothing special.

104.000 km is nothing for these bikes, so go by the saying that : if it looks good,chances are it is good.

Tony, 1,050.00 EUR=1,578.72 AUD, so I should buy a container, fill it up with spanish fj and have a holiday down under !!!!(that's on my bucket list, btw)
Now seriously, I will see if I can make the trip over there by train (5h trip) at least I will see it, I have the feeling I will regret not at least checking it out....
Will keep you posted
Thanks a million

American and Aussies guys: be present that in Spain there is a BIG CRISIS. For around 1500 EUR you can buy near any bike, including Thunderace, GSXR 1100, YZF 750, ZXRs, etc etc etc

It NEVER hurts to negotiate!  Offer what you think it's worth and negotiate from there.
