Hey everyone, just bought a 1990 FJ1200.  This is my second bike, first was a 2012 Ninja 250, so quite the difference but I love my new to me FJ.  Can't wait to get it tagged & titled so I can ride again.

Welcome. Two great bikes. I have a 1990 and my late wife once had a GPX250, Ninja predecessor. The GPX was a lot of fun in the tight & twisties.

Welcome to the mad house Jeff, I had a Kawasaki KH 250 (2 stroke triple) back in the 1970's.......awesome little bike, did 72k miles on it. 250's are fabulous bikes to learn to ride properly on!

There's a great, helpful, bunch of folk on here., BUT before you do anything else.........post up some pictures of the bike, we all love pictures  :sarcastic:
