John Davis 1982 CB1100RC

Post by reverend-ralph »

Due to the graciousness of John's family, I am purchasing the 1100RC. I will be selling a bike or two to complete the purchase. If anyone knows anyone interested in purchasing a 2009 Yamaha FJR1300AE (computer controlled clutch model), please p.m. me.

Thanks!

Congratulations, Mike.
No doubt the family of John are glad the R is ending up in your hands.
Sounds like the absolute best resolution to a tough situation.

Thanks for the kind words. It is overwhelming and humbling to have been able to get it-my eternal thanks to John's family for working with me to purchase it. Pics coming soon.

Congrats. These must be extremely rare in the US. We were lucky enough to have these bikes sold in our market, even so you see very few around. One of my friends had a mint one until he sold it a few years back - kicking himself now!

That is great, and a fitting legacy. Enjoy that bike Mike, for sure that's what John would have wished.
