Greetings from Switzerland

 :hi:

From the UK and now in Switzerland via Sweden and California.

I bought an 88 3CV about 4 years ago while living in Sweden and have imported to here so I am in the process of 'fettling' and registering it here.

I have owned a few bikes over the years. Why do I like the FJ? It's no diva, more like a good old friend . . . it gets better with age.

I look forward to technical discussions and a few laughs.

I hope this is in the right place.

Hi Jeremy,

Via Sweden you say..

I was born and raised in Sweden and moved to Northern California when I was 18.
Does the Swedish FJ1200 have horsepower restrictions?

Welcome to the FJ owners forum.

Hey Fjord

Tack sa mycket for the welcome  :smile:

I am not sure that there is a restriction as my bike feels about right and also a Triumph Tiger I owned there had plenty of power.

Will check the registration doc though  :good2:
