I have a 90 3cx on a G plate in my garage.  Think it was the last of the non abs models.  Got a shade over 40 k miles on it.  It’s also on my ‘must get round to looking at it sometime’ list....   

Silver?.....my brother owned a 1989 'G' reg that was silver.

Black and dark blue.  Lighter metallic blue pinstripe on tank.  My mistake. It’s a 3cv, not cx.

Mine was also black and dark blue. ''H' reg.....that colour combination looked great.

I've had a 2008 1300 for 10 years - very competent and reliable bike. Think they ended production this year unfortunately.

Would that be an FJR 1300?

It would

B52.....That is a nice big torquey sport tourer.

Was the engine simply a bored out FJ1100/1200 lump?

Two wheel death, still, keeps the organ supply going

FMDO: I think so yes. In truth, it needs a 6th gear, which later models have. I've got my beady eye on a decent 2019 with 10k miles just now.

According to MCN your model has 146 BHP. Probably weighs 250 KG though. Nice bike.

The trick is not to let the front wheel jump over your head when you put it down

In biking terms its nothing to get excited about. 1 litre sports bikes these days tend to have as many or more BHP,s than KG,s.

Back in the day I looped an RD 400. It f*ucking hurt, and the owner was not best pleased.

It's ample for a  tourer.

Best sport bike's have around 220  BHP and weigh around 160KG.

A mate of mine did the same on an RD400 right in front of me. He hooked it up in first, went into second, then into third before it came back over on top of him at 60ish. His back was like one big raw steak.
How we larfed.
