the bars are higher then the original clip ons and its missing the screen, looks poxy without it imo.
the rake on those front forks is VERY retro:D
The gas tank has changed shape too, I think. I remember it being bigger, or maybe that was because the clip-ons got you real close to it ;)
I remember the cover of Two Wheels magazine when the first Katana was released, the headline read, "Meet the clever bike disguised as a Hunchbacked Spaceman." I had a Kat 750 years ago, the one with the pop up headlight and "Katana' written backwards on the screen so you could read it in your rear vision mirror:eek:, looked good but a fairly gutless and boring motor.The 1100 was the one to get, a genuine 250kmh motorcycle way back then, nearly bought one but got a Honda CB1100RC instead, the one built to win the Castrol 6 hour, 120hp and a frame made of spaghetti, fun, fun, fun.:D
CB1100RC.
Classic:cool:
yeh, sold it 15 years ago in immaculate condition for 7 grand, their pulling mid twenties now,dammit.:(:mad:Quote:
