    What is the best model year in your opinion?

    I'm used to the heat.I ride an 85 FJ now and it is HOT.Had a rep for it way back then.It was suggested to get a bigger oil cooler because it runs so hot.Never did and never have had any trouble except heat stroke in the summer if you are not doing 100 MPH.

    What is the best model year in your opinion?

    Thanks everybody.I did look at the matrix,that is why I was leaning toward an 05 cause I do like the color but most of all it is a little faster then the genII and it got a few more bells and whistles like bigger rotors and optional abs etc..And it is closer to my price range.I have an 85 FJ1100...
