    Suzuki Kantana GSX advice?

    Hello fellow Kber's

    I have just purchased a 92 Katana 400cc.
    Can anyone tell me the good, the bad, the ugly regarding these bikes?
    I'll appreciate any advice unless it is too late now

    Lovely looking, unique bikes. It's 20 years old, so may or may not have issues. What's the kms like on yours?

    I asked about these Katanas too:

    Nothing bad was said about them, but it all depends on the service history of the previous owners. If they treated your bike well, then you've got no worries. If you don't know, get a motorcycle mech to check it out, for peace of mind...

    the good? - it's a bike
    the bad? - it's a bike
    the ugly? - it's probably not the bike...

    enjoy!

    Meh, doubt you'd have any trouble with it unless it's already falling apart. But pix please, or it don't exist...

    It was mentioned in there about the 400s being fun to ride. I would have to agree. Mines a hoot.
