Fixed it for you

 

ive got a screenshot because the dude said and i quote "i sold it stop bothering me" like wtf man it was still posted how is this my fault lol

i found another for 2k but it looks pretty beat....

 

He had all the parts but was trying to sort a fueling issue and I guess gave up.

 

I bet that was a weapon in 1991, love the colours

 

I'd buy that for $500, it won't last at that price.

 

i guess it was already sold on wednesday? but the dude i think is older and didnt know how to take the listing down and was getting annoyed at people.

 

I agree. I wish they could buy back Sharpe field that is just to the Northwest of Moton. Some family out of Woodstock Ga owns all 3000+ acres of what was once Sharpe Field. So much history at that location but completely inaccessible to the public and by the looks of google earth, 90% of the buildings are completely gone.

 

My FJ1100 right after I bought it and still lived at my parent's house.



2010 or 2011 how it looked when I sold it. I had picked up a second FJ1100 as a parts bike and used the later model FJ1200 front end and the aftermarket rear shock to upgrade my bike.



The 1986-87 FJ1200 still used the 16" wheels front and rear and the 2 piston brake calipers. 1988 on up the FJ1200 went to a 17" front wheel, floating rotors, and 4 piston brakes. I think the last models around 1991-1992 might have had ABS available but no sure. I bought the 85 in 1987 as a 2-year-old leftover model, covered in dust in a back corner of the dealership. One bike I really regret selling. When I bought it I really wanted the FJ1200 as the revised bodywork I just thought looked better. My insurance at the time only insured bikes up to 1100cc so the FJ1100 was the ticket. FJ1100 top speed was listed as 153mph, the FJ1200 was 156. With a professional drag racer on it the FJ100 was clocked at a 10:35 quarter mile stock.

I will tell you that for that time not much on the street would outrun it. It was also comfortable enough to tour on and as reliable as a hammer. I still look on Marketplace sometimes but just don't have the garage space right now.
