In 1986 Yamaha upgraded the FJ1100 by increasing the engine displacement slightly and adding upgraded suspension and other components. The result was the FJ1200. They also changed the colour choices with the next model, but they weren't significant. The peak power output was raised slightly to 130 bhp from the FJ1100s 125 bhp, the FJ1200 had more low- to mid-range torque. The FJ1200 was produced in three main successive versions (1TX, 3CV and 3XW) each updated version benefiting from improvements to bodywork, front and rear suspension components, and the addition of an optional ABS-equipped version (FJ1200A) from 1991 until 1996 when Yamaha discontinued the FJ1200 in the United Kingdom. The model was discontinued in the United States in 1993. Market competitors during its production years included the BMW K100RS, Suzuki's 1100 Katana, and Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-10.
