Title: 1100 katana
Post by: yellow99 on July 11, 2012, 07:07:37 AM
There is a very very clean 1993 in my area for sale.  I keep looking at it...should I be looking away?  I use my bike for commuting and highway driving.  Opinions on this bike?  thanks

If it's on Craigslist, please post a link or content + pics from ad. I have found that others will note things I have missed.  :thumb:

Buddy of mine had one back in the day.  They're nice enough bikes.  Comfortable.  Powerful.  And heavy as hell.  They're fine at speed, but like most of the class that has come to be called "hyper bikes" they're a bit of a handful to lug around the parking lot.

The electric windscreen is nifty, if not particularly useful.  :)

As with all the early Katanas, the engine is based on the one from the 1st gen GSXR.  It's nigh bulletproof.
