'82 katana GSX1100?

[honda ng gingsa]

Always loved the look of this classic. Anyone here had/have one of these?

Considering picking one up as a project-bike, Anything to watch out for? Typical issues/problems?

They are bulletproof for all practical purposes.

Awesome machines, on my want list.

They are also somewhat collectible.

Exactly why I want one.

The big dream is a restored katana converted to 17" wheels, modern brakes and suspension. Would trade-in my 919 without a 2nd thought if I could get my hands on one.

One recently sold on ebay, in mint condition, it brought $4200.00

Suzuki : GSX / Katana

And another nice blast from the past -

Suzuki : GS1150

And another nice zook from the same seller -

Suzuki : GS1100

Ridiculous sale of the year has to go to this Harley, $100,000.00+, oh my!

$100,000.00 Harley-Davidson

I would rather have one of the Suzuki's!

That katana was in great shape by the looks of it. Seller got a pretty good price for it too. They're hard to come by that fresh in these parts .

I've seen one in a Japanese motorcycle magazine with GSXR conversions: forks, triple clamps, wheels, rear subframe etc.
