This is from the Bearded Mechanic channel on YT: Craig is Sean’s friend and mechanic from SRK Cycles before Sean moved from PA to TN. It’s a 20 year non running FJ1200, which is sad- I always liked these especially when I first got into bikes:

Video 2: The mechanical restoration:
The endgame (sorry to ruin it)- he plans to sell it, then decides to keep it! I love new bikes and all the tech, but there‘s something about getting an old bike out of storage and not letting it become a parts bike, get it running, and realize its potential. I think that’s why I keep my STs- they’re old, not tech superior, and maybe not the fastest or best handling out there, but they work for me and I have no plans to part with mine anytime soon.
