Yep! My FJ1200 has done the trip to Phillip Island twice, no hickups.
March on the Nularbor may be a bit hot though.

Welcome to the forum Ian.

FJmonkey is correct. There must be a secret FJ manufacturer in Australia. Ian, your FJ looks like it just came off of the dealers floor in 1985.

I'm very lucky to find a bike in such nice, original condition.
We don't have severe winters here so bikes can be ridden all year and a lot do!
So after 30 years they end up being sprayed matt black with cheap exhaust cans and pretty much worn out.
I was very lucky!

We were out for a Club ride the other weekend and I was on the FJ1100 and swopped with a mate
who runs a TDM850 so he could ride the FJ.
At the end of the ride his comments were about how much "grunt" it's got and it really doesn't feel
like a bike that's 30 years old(except for the brakes)!
If you could have only one bike I recon this would be a contender, it just does everything well!!.

I forgot to post that there is a Yamaha FJ parts seller in W.A, I have bought a few parts off him, great to deal with- http://yamaha-parts.victordrummond.net/fj1100-fj1200-parts

Have fun riding...

Cheers, Gareth
