What colours did the 1100 and 1200s come in from the factory?
I see red and white, or blue mainly.

Thanks

1200 -86/87 Red/White, 88 Deep Dark Blue (looks black), 89 White/Silver, 90 Blue white (pink stripe) 91/95Blue/Silver (silver or champagne)
Could be a few others, but these are the main ones I can think of.

Here are photos of every color that Yamaha offered for the FJ. There were a few that North America did not get. The Blue and White 1100 and the 1tx 1200. The midnight blue and red stripe 1tx, and the tan and black 3xw. There is a slight change on the '91 pink stripe. North America got the all white and blue whereas other countries version has the grey on the side panels and chin cowling.

That answers the question.
That's great, thanks very much.
I think I might like that red and silver the best

I know you're speaking purely objectively Pat. :)
