Am I the only one that thinks 1100 with 16 inch wheels and good fork springs was nimble in twisties for such a big machine.

who says no to a little more power ;) hard to find good tires for them now with those sizes

@tommyj7887 I never thought of that. I was only like 75 kilos and I could throw it with force left right on the consecutive tight sses to keep up with a 500 2 strokes rz and and a gsxr 400.

My midnight blue 89 3cv was my main bike for years, did 80,000 miles on it. I put an FZR 1000 exup rear wheel on it (17") and some progressive fork springs to change the handling into a bike that loves corners like the ones in this vid. I fitted Dyna ignition coils and iridium spark plugs, always made me smile when starting it as the starter motor would make a quick 'hic' noise and the bike would instantly fire up. Anyway great bikes and with some modifications can surprise sports bikes through the twisties. 👍❤️🇬🇧

Great ride, great music - however I had preferred to hear the engine sound. I have the same bike with some updates (hyperpro fork springs, 6-piston brake calipers (from YZF), Barracuda 4-1 exhaust system, DynoJet Stage1carburretor, K&N airfilter, Wlbers 601suspension strut, conversion to 17/5,5" rear wheel rim (using an 180 tyre). It is really a great bike but as depending on age my physical strength deceases (I feel it when handling the standing bike) I consider to change to a lighter bike like Yamaha F1, R1 Suzuki GSX-F or -R (all in the 1000ccm class). To all readers: have fun with biking, use your brain and may you always have some some square centimeters road under both tyres!

I agree, I bought my FJ in 1985. I tried the BMW k100, a fantastic motorcycle the year before, but it was not finished. I also looked at the Moto Guzzi Le mans 850, but was there an air filter? Sure, 265kg, 4 cylinders instead of 3 and chain to lubricate. I am Swedish and drove down to southern Europe a few times. In 1992 I was driven to Seville (world expo) a total of 9700Km tour. Nice and no problem, now it is waiting for renovation. Now I have a Yamaha TDM 850 that might be better for a 66 year old. Maybe a TDM 900 or renovation of the FJ 1100 in the future?

The peak of this type was the 3cv (88 - 90) unless ABS is a must for you. The 3YA (as of -90) was already a little bit produced under control of the red cost pencil)

These are the types of roads we have all over much of Arkansas. My ZX14R is more than capable in the curves. It's a wonderful all around motorcycle. The H2/R are getting the Glory now...but I wish Kawasaki would keep a large NA motorcycle in their lineup.
