1982 Suzuki GSX / Katana

1982 SUZUKI GSX1000 KATANA. RARE FIRST YEAR BIKE IN THE STATES. 5000 MILES, HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE INCORRECT. FIRST OFF, NO TITLE ON THIS BIKE, NO TITLE. IF YOU KNOW WHAT THIS BIKE IS, THEN YOU HAVE THE RESOURCES TO SECURE A TITLE FOR IT. SERIAL# GOOD, RUN THROUGH NATIONAL POLICE CHECK. IF YOU HAVE TO EMAIL ME AND ASK WHY NO TITLE, OR WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO SECURE ONE, THIS BIKE IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS KATANA OBVIOUSLY SAT UNRIDDEN FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN I GOT IT I CHANGED THE OIL, FLUSHED THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES, INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, DRAINED THE GAS FROM THE FLOAT BOWLS AND GAS TANK, CLEANED THE CHAIN, FILLED THE TIRES. THATS BEEN IT. THE BIKE HAS BEEN RIDDEN A TOTAL BY ME OF LESS THAN TWENTY MILES. HAVE HAD IT UP TO 65 MPH OR SO AND ITS A VERY STABLE, SOLID, GOOD RIDING BIKE. NO SMOKE AT START UP, NO FUNNY NOISES, MOTOR SOUNDS GOOD. CARBS WILL PROBABLY NEED A STRIP AND CLEAN, (STARTS STUMBLING AROUND 5-6K), ALONG WITH SOME OTHER LONG OVERDUE GENERAL SERVICING INCLUDING FORK SEALS. ALL LIGHTS (EXCEPT BLINKER FLASH FUNCTION DUE TO LEFT ONE MISSING), SPEEDOMETER, TACH, WARNING LIGHTS, HORN, KILL SWITCH, PETCOCK, KEY FUNCTION ON TAIL, GAS CAP, AND IGNITION ALL FUNCTION. BIKE HAS BASICALLY A NEW SET OF METZLERS ON IT, STILL SHOWING THE NUBS WITH NO OZONE OR AGE CRACKING. AGE OF THEM IS UNKNOWN. COSMETICALLY, THE ONLY DAMAGE IS ON THE FAIRING WHERE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL MOUNTS. BLINKER WAS BROKEN, BUT NO OTHER CRASH DAMAGE. MORE LIKE SOMETHING BANGED AGAINST IT OR TRANSPORT DAMAGE, NOT THE BIKE FALLING OVER. I HAVE A MINT TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY THAT I WILL INCLUDE. THE BIKE HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN CUSTOM PAINTED, BUT IT WAS A GOOD JOB THOUGH NOW HAS A FEW SCRATCHES AND CHIPS, BUT STILL SHINES UP WELL. CORRECT FRONT FENDER NEEDS PAINT TO MATCH. INSIDE OF TANK HAS BEEN CREAMED, PROFESSIONAL JOB, GOOD COVERAGE AND NO LIFTING. SEAT HAS BEEN RECOVERED IN TWO TONE VINYL, DRIVERS SECTION SEAM IS STARTING TO SEPARATE. I DO HAVE THE CHROME CAM END CAPS WHICH WILL BE ON THE BIKE (VERY NICE ONES) IN PLACE OF THE LATER 83 STYLE.. THE BIKE HAS A NICE, UBER RARE, YOSHIMURA EXHAUST WITH NO SCRAPES, DENTS, FLAT SPOTS, ETC. JUST SURFACE RUST THAT CLEANS UP NICE. DERALLE OIL COOLER, FRONT FORK BRACE, AFTERMARKET NITROGEN FILLED SHOCKS, PLUS A COUPLE OF OTHER ADDED ACCESSORIES. THIS IS A VERY COOL, LOW MILEAGE GSX1000 WITH SOME GREAT PERIOD PIECES. WOULD BE A GREAT AMA VINTAGE RACE SUPER BIKE, OR GET IT TITLED AND PUT IT ON THE STREET.On Mar-04-11 at 16:20:35 PST, seller added the following information: frame#-JS1GT72A5C2101476
