Up for your consideration is a naked, streetfighter-ish 1995 Suzuki Katana project. It is a 600 frame, VIN, and title, with a swapped 750cc motor. As you can see from the pictures, this is an unfinished project that I took in as a trade, but have no time to complete. The bike was running, but it was stored improperly for almost a year and is not running at this time...could be as simple as a good carb cleaning and fresh charge on the new battery (included). I have all plastics except rear sections. Front fairings and belly pan are painted gloss white, but are rough (small chips, damaged mounting tabs, rattle-can paintjob).Subframe was removed by last owner to "bob" the bike. Front has been lowered about 2" using the old-school drop-fork method and is completely reversable. Tires hold air but are old, dry rotted, and need to be replaced for rider safety. Chain is stretched and questionable...could pop a link at any time.Front and rear sprockets are stock and look pretty rounded. Vance & Hines 4-1 header and exhaust look good (and sounded mean while it was running). I forgot to snag a picture of the V&H can, but it is included. 2-3 big boxes of new, old, random, and replacement parts included. Bike is being stored in my enclosed garage and under a cover (included) but it may be a little dusty underneath.Title in hand, however it is still in the last owners name and signed by him for re-assignment. I have not transferred it to myself. Check your local DMV laws...there may be easier ways to replace the title in your own name after the sale ("custom built" or "rebuilt" titles, etc).If you appreciate the simplicity of naked bikes, then you can probably see the potential in this Katana. SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY OR GUARENTEE THAT IT WILL RUN OR DRIVE. Again, it was running when I took it in, but it is not now. I never had the chance to ride this bike, so I can not honestly say that it is drivable...I just don't know for sure and don't want to mislead anyone. Any questions? Just ask and I will respond within 12 hours. Local pick-up only...I can not deliver this motorcycle, nor am I able to ship it unless buyer makes all arrangements.Payment due within 3 days after auction ends via Paypal. I will work with the buyer regarding pick-up deadlines. On Mar-25-13 at 18:15:44 PDT, seller added the following information: *** I will be out of town the weekend following the end of this auction, 03/30 - 04/03 and will not be available to transfer the bike to its new owner. I will, however, be available nearly every day prior to my departure and following my return and will do my best to work around the buyer's schedule. Please take this small delay into consideration if you choose to bid. As always...any questions? Feel free to ask... Thanks!
