Hi,
Back on FJ 1200 (actually I own two) after 13 years ridding more sporty bikes.
I allways missed the traction, power and reliability of my old FJ 1200 that I rode around Freiburg (Germany) and Geneva (switzerland) were I lived for several years between 1985 and 1999.
And now I got the opp to get these two beauties in a very good and original state.

I will do minor changes... but need to improve front brakes and fit new tires

Saludos desde Madrid
