Hi Guys,
Thanks for this site, have just come across it and hope to increase my knowledge and gain some ideas.
I have a 1984 750 Pop-up Kat, have always like the early 1100's and was thinking about buying one when this one chose me. A friend of a friend had heard a liked Katanas and told me he had this one sitting in his garage unlicensed was i interested. It cost me a new back tyre and horn to get it licensed so it turned out to be a great deal.
That was about 6yrs ago and in the last couple of years it has become my daily transport, when i purchased it the colour scheme was yellow frame and wheels with blue fairing. (I believe it was based on the suzuki racing colours?) I have toyed with the idea of turning it into a streetfighter style but am now thinking of keeping it looking original but trying to retro (increase the rear tyre width, new front forks, larger front wheel etc) it. She is a bit battered and worn now but still goes strong. When it's a bit more respectable i'll post some photos.
Thanks
