Just joined tonight.Bought a bike on the weekend on impulse and am still getting rid of a few of the cobwebs.It's been a while since I've been riding.If anyone's got any advice or reccommendations on popup katana's that would be really useful.Haven't had many suzuki's before.Cheers Mitch

Welcome to KB!!

It probably was me.I'm still a bit rusty and not 100% confident yet.

Welcome to KB, those old Katanas have got some life left in them yet.
Enjoy yourself out there.

Welcome. Nice Z1000 pic in your profile too. I reckon those Kwaka road bikes from that era with the angular tank shape look as good now as they did then. I did have one in the early '80s but it was a bit smaller than the 1000 (err... 1/4 the engine size actually).

Thanks Oakie and everyone else for making me feel welcome.I really should get the old Z1000 back on the road.She is a nice solid(read big and heavy) bike to ride.Can get pretty interesting at high speed over bumps and a bit fidgety in the wet.Mitch
