A very nice looking stock FJ1200 in a window of what I will assume is a museum. The Museum at Barber Motorsports maybe? The next question should be easy.....what has been changed on the FJ1200?

The obvious thing that I notice right off the bat is the paint scheme.

It appears to be a 1989/1990 that someone painted in earlier (1986-1987?) colors.
Perhaps they used the chin fairing, side panels, and front fender off the earlier bike?

Yeah, probably repainted the bike, or maybe (less likely) a 1TX with newer fairing and forks/wheels?
