Greetings!

I bought a '92 FJ1200ABS from a friend this summer. While thinking about the purchase this site was a big help in making the decision. If so many people buy and love this bike so much there must be something about it. I now understand what you have been on about so much. I freaking LOVE this bike. In fact, I put off joining the site and posting my introduction until now because I have been so busy riding it! I think I can count on my fingers the number of times I've driven my car.

She is clean, nearly all original except for the V&H exhaust, and runs like a top for a bike with 43k on the odo. Here is to 50k more (at least).

Welcome Nova, plenty of room here at our digital campfire. That is a clean looking FJ, the seller took good care of it. I wonder if he is a member here as well. Better get more riding in before the weather turns too cold and white.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Spectacular bike Nova! You did great....kudos :good:

The rubber mounted '91-93 FJ's are the smoothest of all FJ's  

Ride well.

3) Replace your old stock rubber brake lines.
