That's a new re-introduced model, not a restored 1980s one.

Have they changed the 'bars?

or am I thinking of the 1100,,,,

**crump** · 25th April 2008, 07:40 AM

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

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

, 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.
