    No unanswered questions. (Although you should know that the auction page informs viewers if there are unanswered questions anyway).

    Very hard to find an original Katana with only 16000km's on it. So nothing really *fucked* about it. But enough of that...this is Katmans thread. I just got excited by the fact I finally own one as well.

    It doesn't mean anything of the sort, plenty of people do $1 reserves for all sorts of reasons

    My business is certainly not a dealership.

    In fact, my business does no bike sales at all.

    Nah, I know that mate. That was for jasonu. I paid $2500.00 for it, and all of the calipers etc come with it...it's actually quite complete and good apart from the gay red frame. I intend on it looking more like this by the time I'm finished with it...

    I've never been sold on that look of the open space where the battery box used to be.

    The bottom corner of the triangular side panels doesn't seem 'fit' into that open space.

    I remember being at Manfield for the '82 Castrol 6 hour ... with the Wellington Motorcycles/Hiscock ridden Katana doing a 14 second pit-stop for rear tyre and tank of fuel ... (they managed a 12 in practice)
