Got my new bike Thursday, '91 Suzuki Katana 250. Went to Tauranga and back, wow, so much easier than the GN250. I looked down once to find I was doing 120, not much to you big boys but made my hair stand on end (what there is of it) I'm very pleased with it so far and it's blue which matches my eyes:rolleyes: Must get a colour coordinated helmet.

The Katana's are a nice bike. Glad you enjoyed your ride. Nothing like an upgrade and reaching 100kph without a push to bring a smile to your face. :headbang:

A bloke at work has a similar, but slightly different, story about the first time he rode his Bandit 1200. He gave it a bit of stick and looked down at the speedo. Oops, it says 120, better slow down. Then double oops, the speedo on this model is in mph!
