Never been a fan of Katana's but that actually looks pretty good... Go figure!!??!

It's good to have something that's not only good for your outsides - it's good for your insides too... :yes:

Oh - fantastic. You will have to swing by and we can go for a spin. I have a huge grin on my face, just thinking how buzzed you are. Ride safe, it can get pretty tiring wear a grin like that on your face all day.

That's a really nice example, but you'd better get down to the gym because they sure are heavy and there's not too much leverage on those bars.

Congrats on getting the bike back where it belongs.

Great to get it back into your family as well. How did you know it was for sale?

Mind if I ask you what you paid for it.

I have just bought an 87 katana. Exactly the same as yours ('cept for its age).

Mine has done 83000kms, has had $2000 done to the top end in the last year and the side panels on it are cracked. I paid $1700 for it.

Your Katana is in much better condition than mine though.

And as has been mentioned previously in this thread, they are very heavy bikes. Ive had to rest mine on the ground once so far (forgot to take the disc lock off :doh: and it fell over). I could just hold it up when it started to fall over, but I couldnt lift it back up.

Also you dont happen to have a spare speedo cable you would be willing to sell? Mine has just snapped :(

Enjoy your new bike and dont go too fast. The Katana's go like hell.
