    It is a toss up between that and the Yosh Kat

    I think the Yosh Kat has better proportions, if the cooley coloured one had a slightly longer swinger it would be about perfect.....

    Yeah! you're right about t swing arm.

    I forgot to mention that it has a dry clutch (you prolly saw it on GSR)
    Political correctness: a doctrine which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

    amazing bike,i saw it myself when i was in L.A in Feb as i was at RG3 suspension (also kiwis).I use to do suspension,katana's don't go around corners anyway i think due to the front end change and it looks like 17's they must have decided to go with a shorter swingarm to fix any handling problems. Maybe you guys shouldn't bitch too much.Only one Yoshimura katana was ever built due to that they were $75,000 us
    Anyway I'm a kawasaki zx7rrr fan!

    I take no responsibility for what the cousin-cuddlers of the southern isle may be doing with their Vics but the colours up this way are pretty gosh darned fantabulous

    Here's a couple of very nice examples.

    1) Full Yoshi internals in the topend, MTC brass plate drag clutch, NOS, Akront rims etc etc
    2) 1327cc Arias bigblock, APE/Barnett clutch, undercut gears, Mikuni RS40-D7 carbs, GSX-R bits etc etc
