Posted January 25, 200916 yr Hey everyone. My name is Ryan. Im from Allentown, Pa. I am 18 and have been riding motorcycles and dirtbikes since I was 3 years old. And I started drag racing dirtbikes when I was 4. I used to race a Yamaha PW50 when I started. Then I stopped racing when I started school. But I kept riding dirt bikes and fourwheelers. Then when I turned 17 I bought a 1983 Honda Interceptor VF750F. I knew people that were friends with my dad that raced Interceptors back in the day and I always thought they were awesome bikes. So I rode that for a yer and put a bunch of miles on it and even took it to the dragstrip . It ran a 12.3 @ 108MPH. And my best reaction time was a .009. Then about a month ago my dads friend called him asking if he wanted to buy an FJ1200. A little history about the bike. My dads friend bought it brand new in 1989 and has kept it in immaculant(sp) condition. Then when I was a young kid my dad bought it from him and drove it for a while before selling it back to his friend to buy a harley. So i bought this from the original owner with 39,000mi. It has a corbin seat, progressive front springs and EBC brakes all the way around. And brand new avon azaro AV-45ST tires. There is only 3 knicks in the paint. But I drove it around a little bit braving the cold yesterday and I am in love!! But anyways here are some pics of it. They are a night so they suck. I will try to get better ones soon. Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think. Hi Ryan Gr8 bit of kit .. I love the FJ motor it was the first bike I managed 140mph (UK) on ( US miles are smaller) so I guess you could manage 150+ (US mph) and the bike just does what it is told... no problem, If it's no good to you just ship it over here !!! Regards Jim

January 25, 200916 yr Thanks Ill keep that in mind lol. I cant wait till it gets warmer so I can go on longer rides. Dress up warm and go out & give the FJ some stick, I guess you will keep the FJ not comming to the UK but dont worry the bike is fantastic ! Regards Jim

February 20, 200916 yr Hi Ryan , welcome aboard. And guess what ... I've been to Allentown, well through it (Go to Hershey and Carlisle auto fairs) That's a cracking example of a lovely bike, hope you have some suitable weather to really enjoy it this summer
