    Looks like shit. Does a great deal of injustice to the Katana name. Leave it alone.
    Yanks spoiled it any way. All their gsx600/750/1100s with total surround faings are called Katanas over there

    You've only got to see the "ORIGINAL" hot Katana pics in my thread to see how cool these machines are.
    I did initally like this Stratosphere thing but now think it's rather hideous.

    There can only be one : - The GSX1100SXZ !!

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    At least the 250 styling stayed true to the original unlike that vomit inducing pile of crap

    Sounds like the jury has given its verdict with you betti, lol!

    Very stylish. At first glance it looks like something is missing, like, the top half of the bike? But on closer examination you find it's all there!

    I could get used to it quite easily, would have to ditch the 'orrible orange seat though!

    [Edit:]Btw, now that I've read through this post, stuff all this rivalry nonsense, you're all as bad as the Ford & Holden/Holden & Ford fanatics at the moment!!

    Katana was such a cool name. Why did they slab it onto ugly bikes?

    Why are GSX-F's called Katana's??????
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
