Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bumblebee_Bob: This FJ1200s are good looking bikes. And comfortable. And fast. About 2 or 3 weeks later it was back and I had to have it. I need to remove,clean and set the carbs, that is about it mechanically. I did new tires, fork seals, changed the cannister style oil filter to a screw on one and replaced the stock exhaust. It's in great shape and I want to preserve it. I replaced the diaphragm clutch pressure plate with a barnett coil spring one. It is a totally different bike now..shifts much easier up and down, no clunk when I shift and if I grip it and rip it I better be hanging on tight.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rope-A-Dope: My favorite is yellow and black. https://cdn.visordown.com/styles/img_1200_webp/s3/field/image/80919.jpg.webp?itok=SxIFKmV9 I'm also a big fan of the YZ500R throwback. https://pipeburn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/yamaha-xsr900-GP-custom-1.jpg Maybe I'm more a fan of glory days racing than actual beauty. Not sure. I researched that xsr and it isn't for sale her in the US. Why the hell not?! I want one. It has that nice retro look. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Goostoff: Kinda but no. This was right when they blended them together but still round inside. https://images2.imgbox.com/de/29/qxk7HO3Q_o.jpg Those still look great.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Striker: I had no intention of buying a sport touring bike. I was happy with my 82 wing but I saw it on kijiji (our craigs list) for $1800. I loved the look of it but scrolled on past thinking it won't be there long and sure enough the add disappeared. About 2 or 3 weeks later it was back and I had to have it. I need to remove,clean and set the carbs, that is about it mechanically. I did new tires, fork seals, changed the cannister style oil filter to a screw on one and replaced the stock exhaust.

I always thought the 80s FJs were beautiful fast bikes. |

Seems like WFO in 5th it would top out at about 52mph. Was a blast. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bumblebee_Bob: Almost ordered one in '85. But ordered this instead; https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/648/RZ_21-600x450-497580.jpg Stock photo. Not my actual bike. Guess l don't have a pic on this phone. I bought a left over in 1986. Got a killer deal on it.  Toomey's, K&N filter, Dynojet jet kit, battery relocation kit, Teleflex fork brace, Russel steel braided lines, EMGO "racing" brake pads. The bike was a blast to ride! The guy I sold it to went racing at Willow, he pulled the oil injectors off and crashed it one weekend, then seized it up the next.  |

Japanese bikes never inspired me much. Ducati, Aprillia, MV Agusta are absolute works of art. The Harley Davidson FL's and a few other models ring some bells from me but not as much as the Italian offerings.
