    Yeah I can admire all the trick bits and engineering, but the overall look doesn't run with me.

    Me likey! Being picky, the red anodised engine bolts are a bling too far, and I'm not a huge fan of the 'zorst, but overall I'd be happy as a pig in poo if that was parked in my shed.

    Not on my favorites list sorry, in fact a small bit of warm puke came up my throat when I saw the homo-blue paint (is that an official Suzuki colour name?).

    It was lucky there was more interesting images behind the bike to distract me .....

    For my personal tastes I have seen better applications of custom Katanas.

    Doing a quick Google - there appear to be way too many Katanas repainted in vile colours! I blame America.

    And yes, I think that is homo pastel blue (to give it's correct name) Allan!

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
