A Yamaha legend with a story to tell

The Yamaha FJ1200 is one of the iconic big-bore sports tourers of its era. Combining a powerful four-cylinder engine with comfortable long-distance capability, it helped establish the formula for a motorcycle that could deliver serious performance while remaining practical for everyday riding and touring.

With its muscular styling, air-cooled engine and unmistakable 1990s Yamaha character, the FJ1200 remains a favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate classic Japanese engineering.

🔧 Personally restored and brought back to life

I purchased this bike three years ago after it had been sitting in a barn for six years. Since then, I have personally restored and cared for it, putting time and effort into bringing it back into regular use.

Restoration and maintenance work includes:

• Numerous fuel hoses replaced.
• Fuel tank internally treated and restored to address rust.
• Carburettor float heights recently checked.
• Front forks serviced with fresh oil.
• Inner and outer fork bushings replaced.
• SKF fork dust seals fitted.
• Progressive front fork springs installed.
• Upgraded oil cooler fitted.
• Gold chain kit and sprockets recently replaced.

The bike has always passed its MOT and, throughout my ownership, has never failed to start and ride. It has been brought back from years of storage and maintained with care.

⚙️ Upgrades and accessories

Brakes and suspension

• Harris billet brake calipers front and rear.
• Progressive front fork springs.
• SKF dust seals and replaced fork bushings.

Engine and drivetrain

• Upgraded oil cooler.
• Recently checked carburettor float heights.
• Gold chain and sprocket kit.
• Scottoiler automatic chain lubrication system.

• Upgraded aftermarket cushioned seat for extra comfort.

The top box comes with its key. The side panniers open and close and their latches work, but the keys are missing, meaning they cannot currently be locked with a key.

🏁 Why buy this FJ1200?

This isn’t simply a bike that has been sitting untouched for decades. It is a classic Yamaha that I purchased after six years of barn storage and personally restored over the last three years.

It combines the character of a legendary 1990s sports tourer with practical upgrades, renewed components and touring accessories. Ideal for someone who appreciates classic Japanese motorcycles and wants a bike with a genuine ownership and restoration story.
