Inline 6?

The Wire Wheel, at 120hp, was the benchmark at the time.

WHY???? the Z1300 was putting out 120hp a couple of years prior to that. And the CB1100R was producing the same if not more and it shafted the Kats on the track

Wasn't that just different cam lobes to stock? First to have some sort of anti-drive too IIRC or did the CB1100Rs have TRAC then? Suzuki motors were certainly a damn sight more bullet proof thats for sure.

Sorry a bit more to it-wire wheels to allow better choice of tires,slide carbs,hotter cams,braided brake lines,different front calipers and different exhaust internals(larger)

Not the WW it didn't. And the Z1300 might have produced around 120 but was, in reality, not much more than a whale.

WOW - that guy doesnt care too much for oncoming traffic....

Open day at the IOM. The road/race track becomes a big one way system.

we all know your bias to NZ's special treat by Suzuki for the off the shop floor WW Kats But Wayne Gardener & Rob Phillis would beg to differ. A Z13 is way more comfy to load-up and consume a shitload of kms than a Katana

And furthermore, the 1982 Castrol 6 Hour was won by a 750 Katana.

The Assie results are quite interesting

Yes, that's interesting, but then, they didn't have the E27 spec WW over there.

the 750 isn't a GSX1100SZX you should know that :slap:

Gosh, how did I ever miss that?

Must have been faster aye?

Didn't that max cc rating get capped at 1000cc around 83?

[Katman]

Must have been faster aye?

No, actually fuel consumption was the reasoning behind the decision for the Hiscock brothers to run the 750.

Think the 1000cc cap was already in place in certain countries, that's why Suzuki released the 1000cc Katana (with the 32mm slide carbs instead of 34mm CVs) to make it eligible to compete in the AMA superbike series in the states

My aplologies, I forgot the This helped me decide to buy my old 750EZ over the 1100 at time btw.
