1983 Suzuki GSX / Katana

00016

This will be an incredible find for some lucky person. I bought this bike from the original owner back in 2002 after looking for this bike for about 5 years previous. It is the last bike out of my 80's superbike collection. This is a completely original 1983 Katana 750. # 16 with an original aftermarket Lockhart lower. This bike is incredible and runs fantastic. It turns heads and is going to be in the International Motorcycle Show "Centuries of Bikes Display" on the east coast in 2012. (If the new owner wants to display it, I will arrange it with with the IMS). Just took 1st place at a bike show for “Metric Stock”. These bikes (1100,1000,750 Katana) were only sold for one year in the US and the 750 was the rarest of the three. The bike has been very well maintained, 19K mi. Tires and chain have low miles on them. Clean gas tank. Battery Tender included.
