  • What are the Odds???

    So,check this out:
    Less than 2 weeks ago,I purchased my 1988 Katana GSXF 600 in the White/Blue paint scheme.
    The bike is near mint,very clean and well maintained:


    So,being incredibly excited about my new bike,been searching for parts on Craigslist (exhaust) and by dumb luck,checked the barter section.
    Found an ad for trade Suzuki Katana for something to get muddy with.
    My soon to be 18 year old,told me to send pics of his 2000 KTM 250 and the guy responded,telling us to bring it down.
    My Jaw dropped when he opened the garage to see:


    My Son on the right ^^^





    And with 4 of Us,we did the trade,Got it loaded,Did the title transfer and brought Her home:




    The fairings are a little rough,but it runs very strong and sounds great with the Cobra F1 slip on's.
    22,000 miles on it.
    What are the odds of finding another 88 with the same paint scheme?
    So cool we can kick it old school and ride together soon........
    Also,the guy included every receipt,and a ton of parts in 2 big boxes,extra front fender,gauge clusters,solo seat cover,2 extra seats.....tons of stuff.
    Freakin Awesome.

    And Home:

      2 things I forgot to add:
      Katanas are heavy when putting into lifted Chevy.
      Imma steal my kids Slip Ons!

              slip on and a solo seat, sounds like a good score. my favorite pre paint
              scheme too.
