Advantages: Heavy, fast, comfy. Disadvantages: expensive to run overheats around town
...was lucky to have a Yamaha FJ1200to use some twenty years ago now. I know you must be wondering why that and not another. Anyway, I decided the bigger the the bike the better The Yamaha FJ1200is an aircooled four cylinder machine the most powerful of all the machines that Yamaha maked it had some interesting features and was not the most fasionable end of the market for riders it was a good choice for me a good looking machine. ~The Look~

Advantages: Good sturdy bike Disadvantages: If you're loaded with luggage it gets hairy!
I previously owned an FJ12 for about 2 years which I bought froma friend of mine who had left it sitting for 3/4 years outside a friends house because he couldn't handle it anymore due to back problems. It took a bit of work to get it up to scratch, new rear shock/damper, new tyres as the old ones had gone all hard and cracked, new chain/sprockets/cush drive rubbers and a few other things. The bike also came with a full Krauser pannier system which ... ...a lot of bike rallies throughout the year and this meant that we could carry more luggage!
The FJ handles quite well for such a large bike and has a very well planted centre of gravity. Being a girlie on a big bike was interesting, especially when I dropped it after stalling when pulling out of a road, but it was comforting when a guy came over to help me pick it up and found it just as heavy to lift
too! The FJ has a comfortable riding position ...
