My Kat was stolen....

...so I got this gem from a new coworker.


Its a rare 83 GR650 Tempter. Apparently they were only available here in the states for two years. Hopefully I won't have the same luck as I did with the last one. I plan on keeping this beast for a while!

That has the potential to be Bad A$$. Good luck with it.

[mdex1029]

Yeah its already lowered about four inches.
It has a monoshock, which is pretty sweet in itself. Adjustable air shocks for the forks, a drum rear brake which makes me laugh, and cutoff exhaust which I think I will be baffling somehow. I like to be stealthy at times...once I well my leftover Katana parts I will be having some fun! (half the parts were in my garage, bike was outside my window.)

That looks like it could be wicked! I wasn't familiar with the bike so I did a little searching.

Here's somebody's Tempter site:

Cool!!! I loved that bike when I played with it...

So what's the deal with your stolen Kat? Maybe it's time to invest in a MotorcycleAnchor brand ground anchor to keep your bikes safe (PM Me, I'll make you a great deal).

Actually, I was seriously thinking of a way to anchor a chain into my back porch! I was going to cement a chain into my yard...lol.

Those links were great, I had a laugh over the stock look of the X model. I got high hopes for my bike. I guarantee no one my age will know what it is!

Man, I really like the overall looks and potential of that ride...........straight bars, chopped, hmmmmmmmmmmmm 8)
