I saw this for sale on the ADV-Rider Forum.
I do not have any affiliation with the Sale or the Seller, just passing it along.

Ad says it has 70K miles on it, and I believe it is located in Minnesota.
Says it comes with a spare Frame, Bodywork, Seat, Tank....................

Has a full lower fairing on it.................The paint-job would probably be an "Aquired" taste.
Person is asking $2200

I think you are paying more for the paint job than the bike.

There is another 84 FJ1100 for sale on searchtempest about three miles from me. The guy thinks he has a low mileage museum quality bike. Only asking $6500. For that price I am not even going to look at it. I have purchased three FJ's in total for less than he is asking. I suspect it is the same bike that was for sale in New Mexico for $5000 that didn't sell for years.
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

It's a shame about the price, it looks like it might be a truly clean, unmolested Ambo....that someone from here should own and bring to FJ Rallies !!!!

Or I have one that only has 10,000 on it. It came off my 86. When I put the gsxr front end on it. About 7000. Miles ago. But my 86 has since killed 2 dear with me on it. Not as pristine as it used to be..

I paid $4800 out the door for my '85 1100 when brand new. 

I'd much rather have it with all its upgrades and 50+kmiles than a stock "pristine" unit with 5k. 

Too much work needed to own it at my age.  :-)
