84fj100barnfind Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi, Noobie here with an amazing find: a 1984 FJ1100 with 105.7 miles. I've been searching the internet all day and can find no information on what it's worth. The Barber Museum suggested Kelley Blue Book. Strangely enough the Blue Book didn't have a class for factory new 24 year old motorcycles. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me. I'd appreciate anything, thanks for your time.

yoda Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would keep it as it will only go up in value. Good find though and an opportunity to ride something that can be compared with a modern counterpart. If your selling it put it on ebay and see how far it goes up!

Moderator YamaHead Posted August 14, 2007 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2007 Gotta agree with Yoda here....... 1 thing to watch out for with the 11's though.....is 2nd gear tends to wear uncommonly quick Although, you probably won't see too much wear on it yet with only 105.7 miles BTW...... to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think that this bike shouldn't be riden at all, I think it should go in a museum somewhere. Anybody know of any museums who would want to buy this bike?

deenjay Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 as its 24 yrs old then keep it till its 25, when it becomes classic. values depend on markets it no ones intrested in that model then its worthless, but if its sought after then its valued much higher. look to see what others are selling at and if its mint you know its worth more than the ones on sale. but ive a few 70s jap bikes that are cheap as anything but on the other hand i was offered £4500 for one of my ty50ps as they are rare ( and 30 yrs old ). what you have to ask is what do you want from it, is it financial or would you be happy riding it or as with me would you do the rounds of shows with it.
