Picked up a new basket case today. 1982 GSX750s Katana with a 1100 motor.
Been sitting for years, but looks like its about 95% there.
Its been over 30 years since Ive had one of these.
Great find; you're going to have a bunch of fun with that
Nice score!!!
one of the few four strokes I would own.
Probably not a chance in hell I find one here in Georgia.
Fun in straight line for a mile otherwise no good bikes. Hope you're not dissapointed. We had one a few yrs back and couldn't wait to unload it. I called it a freight train. Goes straight fast for a vintage bike and well planted. Not for corners.
Not at all disappointed.
Ive owned a 750, 1000 and 1100 before. they may not handle like a new sports bike and they are heavy, but I never had any issues keeping up with other bikes through the twisties.
Yes I think I read back in the day that Katana's handled well. I loved the look, kinda like Mad Max MFP police bikes.
I had an 80 Katana 750 when I was on Okinawa and the only new bike I ever had was an 80 GS1100ET Both very good bikes
making some progress. Frame finished and motor rebuilt and back in the frame.
This motor has a roller bearing crank, so getting the block down over 4 pistons was quite a job.
You work fast, bro! I'm envious of your garage time
:olaf: LOOKING GOOD. those forks are tits.
Finally back together. Still some work to be done but she is running.
Flat clear coat is a whole different animal to spray. That was quite the learning curve.
i dig it. fun stuff :clap:
Very nice
