Katana ? Older next door neighbour to my sister, asked her the other week "would you brother like that old blue SL175 Honda he has his eye on, I am not going to be riding it anymore. Oh and he may as well take that grey Suzuki 750 pop up headlight bike as well cause I haven't ridden that for a few years too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D  Tim (trust me I am really really wanting to get to Adelaide!!!!!) Should cut up to a great VMX sidecar...... :o
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

my Dad never did get that job as a photographer, note expensive protective gear;

couple of 250's (one a bit worse for wear)

My Bro Has an 83 Kat 1100, and has had it for years. It's currently being fully restored. He also has a much newer Honda Blackbird 1100. I love riding the Kat. Sure it doesn't handle anywhere near as good as the blackbird, but the grunt is awesome. I learnt to ride roadies on that Kat and when I jumped on the blackbird I thought there was something wrong with it. It does nothing (and I mean nothing) until you get it above 7000rpm. Then its as fast as hell but I love the "just twist it on at ant revs in any gear "of the KAt. Its just like my CR500. ;D
