    Official Katana Picture Thread

    Well I figured if there is an 'L' picture thread , there needs to be a Katana picture thread to counter act all the L-ness.

    Kat owners, post up pics of yours regardless of size. Katana dream owners (like me) get to drool and dream. Deal? Cool.

    For starters and to avoid thread is useless without pics, here's one I stole off the internet.

    I'm with ya' Tim, gotta love a good Kat!

    I however want an 84/85 750 popup... attached is a pic from a current eBay auction here in Aus...

    Here's a hint, go back to November 2011 for Glen's (Shin-Ken 1074) stunning Kat...

    I'm a member on the Katana Australia forum here and it's nice when we get together... there is one guy with an absolutely immaculate 750 popup also that makes me incredibly jealous...

    Here's a couple of crappy pic's from a ride they had earlier in the year:

        That is a fantastic looking Katana! I showed your bike to my significant other and she said that it's cool enough for me to start looking for one. Always a good sign right? Although she did nix the '89 GSXR idea because she claimed it looked fat...

        I know there are many more on this site, don't be shy guys. We cant have 40 posts of L's and only 3 of Katanas.

        Pete I do like the pop-ups too. They are even more unique looking than the originals if that's possible. They both have a charm about them.

        Lets have some more Katana pictures please.

            The first Kat I ever rode was a 1982, 550 Baby Kat in Dec. of 81 in Hastings, New Zealand. I was in the Navy & visiting a girlfriend & the dealer there had them & let me ride one. I fell in love with them then, at age 20! Now I have a project 82 1000 & an 83 1100 Kat also.

                This is one I found in Cornwall, UK last August.



                This belongs to Jason77. I spotted him standing on a bridge in Scotland and overwhelmed him with GS enthusasim and excitement. I'm pretty sure this is a 750 pop up.

                      1990 and 93 GSX750F Katana

                      I much prefer the later Katana.
