I used to have a 1988 (1100?) Suzuki Katana back in the states. I was burgandy with an electric windscreen and front fairing. Does anyone know the model info? Older I get the more I'd like to buy one.

TIA

oh dear and what's 1st on the list there fella? the 600 :shit: albeit what would be as described as a 1991 model , even you'd well remember the original 600 came in either white with blue seat & tank or white with red seat & tank colour choices

And that originally came from the Two Wheels magazine test when John Rooth overlaid a drawing of an ornamental teapot over the side on view of the GSX600F on it's Aussie debut test :yes:

'Tis an oil-boiler. The 89 model is the one to get. The first model was the one I had and it nearly sent me insane trying to get it to handle properly.

If my memory serves me that was the engine Bob Toomy used in an F1 frame of some sort and went out and set a track record at Manfeild . It stood for quite a few years.
