Upgraded Suzuki Katana 1100cc lucky find

[sidecar bob]

Come to think of it I seem to try change up from top on every bike I've owned even after all those KM's. That includes the blade at times (especially if changing between bikes a bit) it has 6 gears so perhaps there is little hope, switching about bikes, that will ever change (I don't do it if I stick to one bike for an extended period).

I can claim some level of being good at certain things. It would appear however it comes at a cost to other things..

They are so torquey that they always feel like they have a gear to go.
Mine is on its third top gear set, it was an 1135 for years & is now a 1170, the top gear roll on grunt is massive & destroys them.
Sometimes I change down to roll on just to save top gear.

Nothing much to add at the moment. Bike is still in the shop (had slightly crushed floats which are getting fixed). I may not be able to take it to Taupo (which is a complete shit) as my friend with Van cannot go after all so I might have to ride up (which means taking the Blade given the 1988 rego on the Kat).

There is a chance we will scare up a Trailer (looking to buy cheep ideally three bike trailer between three of us if anyone has one). If so then the Kat will go to Taupo if not then next time (I'd rather start it out on Mainfield anyway it is an easier track and I've no skills).

Also decided to sell the original 7/11. I just don't ride it now I can and have riding the new one (2 hours a day on the original Kat verses the Blade yeah I'm a pussy it is just uncomfortable by comparison and I cannot ride it like a tard as much).

More to come when it is available.
