I really loved the styling of the katana and dreamed to have one for my self. The only think that I don't like with it is the weight.

you're on the money!! and in conjunction with the cafe style position ... they can be a pain in the ass to maneuver (sp) in tight conditions.Originally posted by gsheader View PostI really loved the styling of the katana and dreamed to have one for my self.

But I'd LOVE the opportunity to blast one around a track. I find it just an awesome seating position when you've got alot of speed.
I rode a '92ish GSXR 1100 for a short while (storing one for friend). Great stuff ... but I actually preferred the Katana's seemingly, additional stretched position.Last edited by Guest; 01-20-2014, 09:09 PM.

Hey Greg! I took the Katana to Barber in 2013 and we won "Best In Show Merit" at the VJMC against some really stiff vintage competition. So the Kat is continuing on it's resume of show pedigree. After trailering down our bikes with a buddy and my father, Dad and I planned to ride home. We took the LONG WAY home (900 miles) only using to lanes all the way. Trip took two & a half days and the Kat even managed 55mpg on one tank and averaged 50mpg for the trip. Best trip I have had in years seeing some of the best roads in the southern US. Of course, riding the big Katana was a blast.Originally posted by GDT1960 View PostI "really" miss it!!

Yeah the guys tend to turn a few eyes at meeting points... there were cars touring the IGA carpark at the starting point just to get a good look at them, and then there were lots of enquiring eyes at the cafe where those shots were taken, especially after they were lined up like that.
There should have been 10 Kats on the day but one guy had to turn back at the start, one that just got re-registered developed some crank and other issues a few days before the ride, and the last one unfortunately the rider has had to pop into hospital for a hernia operation.
I'm hoping I can add another to that number by the end of this year... fingers crossed!
Charlie... eucalyptus trees can be a right royal PITA, especially in storms and high winds... none near my house though fortunately!1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Pete,
I always enjoy looking at your ride & picture posts especially when they involve multiple pictures of lots of big Kats lounging around together. The most I can get together here in my area are 4 at best. Nice Shot!1982 1100G - 1979 1000SN Cooley #703 - 1982 Kawasaki ELR#337 - 1982 Katana 1000SZ (X3) #769, #872, #1963 - 1983 1100E mid-night blue (X2) - Ducati 907ie - 1976 GT750 Bad Buffalo
