Good Points: Power, reliabilty and cheap.

Bad Points: Can't find a replacement bike. Air cooled, dosent like city riding to high a first gear, needs a 6 speed.

General comments: I love this bike, I wish I could find a new bike I like as much. I test rode a new Yamaha fz1 and was disapointed, I would rather ride my fj1200 with 35000 miles of abuse on it. If any one can think of a new bike that fills this nitch, post it.

MY YAMAHA FJ1200 ITX 1188 MOTORBIKE... WHAT CAN I SAY? IT IS FANTASTIC! I HAVE HAD THIS BIKE FOR 13 YEARS, AND SHE HAS BEEN ALL OVER EUROPE WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE DONE MOST OF THE MODS (REAR SHOCK UPGRADE, FRONT SPRINGS BRAIDED HOSES ETC...) SHE CAN STILL HOLD HER OWN WITH MORE MODERN SPORTS TOURERS (IF THEY CAN KEEP UP). THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE GETTING STRONGER PULLS NOW AT 65000, AS IT DID AT 13000. THE TANK RANGE IS NOT BAD... 150 TO 180 BEFORE RESERVE, AND THE RE ...
