Well i got the katana from my father when i was 17(im 19 now). I begged my father for that bike since i can remember. That bike actually has a history. It holds the record till today for the fastest bike on the quartermile in our town(which i wont mention) . Im not exactly sure what has been done to the bike,but it is not standard anymore. The bikes original coulor was candy apple red and black,will try to post a pic. But one day my father wanted to polish the bike and it fell over,it had the full fairing. He then painted it corsa purple and silver,cost him a bottle of whiskey and coke. It is actually the 1000cc striker. That bike drives like a new one. Every saturday i pull it out and polish the whole day. I wouldve liked to visit one of your kat rallies,but ill get there one day

Welcome Juandre,
Nice bike. Secunda is not to far for me as I am in Cape Town so I can get there and steal it!!!!!. Lots of info for you here on this site. I can see it is a Striker by the carbs. They were unique to South Africa. Some say they are quicker than the 1100's. Maybe we should try it some time!!!
Cheers
Mel
