“She's an old girl now (18) but you wouldn't know it. Effortless motorway tourer, ekegant round the twisties, and in the overall scheme of things nowadays, not hugely heavy compared with modern bikes.
Handling is more than enough for me, brakes will still lock the front wheel, and maintenance is super easy for an average DIY mechanic - I really can't see the point of spending a few grand on a more modern bike which won't do much more than the FJ.”
“My bike is 25 y/o,runs like a dream,if it needs fixed it gets fixed,plenty power from this old girl,no fancy electronics to worry about,handlebar risers made it more comfy to drive,at the end of the day i will keep this bike till i cant drive it any more.”
