Decided to drop into my dealer's Ride Into Spring sales event and parked my '14ES next to this '86 beauty!

owned a sweet FJ1100 and rode it like I stole it. Reliable and quick. Bought it and sold it for $2500.

 
Still have one in my garage. It hasnt gotten much attention since I got the FJR. Motor is a little tired at 119K miles. I loved that bike, it was my daily rider for over ten years.

I toured on mine for ten years then bought a "real" touring bike -- a '92 Voyager. I kept the FJ1200 until 2000 as my "hot rod." Then in '99 I acquired the ZRX, and the FJ1200 didn't get ridden after than. The Voyager went on trips, and the ZRX went on hot rod days. I sold it in 2000.

 
I had an '84 FJ11. It looked so cool my buddies immediately ditched their Suzuki and Honda spot bikes and got FJ's too.
