New scooter...

[Tekime]

Picked up this old gal today for $1k, needs a little TLC but runs beautifully



1989 Yamaha FJ1200

Love the look and feel of this old bike, couldn't pass it up.

It even has a backrest to hang all the panties she be dropping on.

Must... not... PM.
If you have any questions about those bikes, I've done most everything to mine.

[Tekime]

Nice, another FJ! Got any pics floating around? So do you have ABS or was that '92?

[carsick]

No ABS. It's so archaic I'm grateful it has a headlight. I have a truckload of pics.

Looks very clean, that's not a stock pipe is it?

Supertrapp with the stackable disks

[carsick]

Yep, love that old Supertrapp look. It's a full system I got off a parts bike. Also note the 17x5.5" GSX-R1100 rear wheel and underslung brake, and blue dot front calipers from an R1. All affordable bolt on mods.

So those are the blue dots I heard about, cool. Sounds like Supertrapp stopped producing for the FJ's a while back. That's pretty darn clean for a parts bike.

Do you race with that center stand?

[carsick]

No racing, but trackdays, yes. The peg feelers touch before the side or center stand. Who the hell would buy a new exhaust for a 27 year old sport-tourer?? I have a Vance & Hines 4-1 system I'm not ever going to use, if you feel the need to be more awesome.

No, this is the parts bike. Or, was.

The last pic is actually quite artistic. That chain though... looks mint, throw that up on eBay "just a little light rust"

V&H -- much of a weigh difference?
