I recently decided to make an excellent change in brand, from a Suzuki to a Yamaha. Not trying to say that Suzi's are bad bike, because my Suzi brought a lot of pleasure to me. But this Yamaha FJ1200 is special. I bought from my girlfriends bad for a give away price and it's in mint condition and totally original. Any comment about the FJ?????
