Cannot believe I am riding and really enjoying my 84-1100. That is 30 years old. Still runs and rides great. Did a 3500 mi. ride last year and a 3500 mi. ride the year before. On a nearly 30 year old bike. With a bullet fairing shield. Now I went out and bought a touring shield for the long stuff and winter riding. What a difference that makes.  Anyway Happy Birthday FJ 1100!!  Kookaloo!

The baddest?, no, my friend. The most powerful of all of them, with a sweeter, more responsive, faster rpm and more efficient engine, without vibrations. Go to the 2nd page of the topic to watch the power curves

With parts and upgrades for these bikes still readily available, I wouldn't be surprised if their still being ridden on its 60th anniversary.

Too young to be old but old enough to know better.

Entirely possible, RPM Randy will only be 70..... We best pray he takes good care of himself..
