SUMMARY
Rare UK-supplied 1-litre Katana with very low mileage and in great condition.
DESCRIPTION
- Named after a Samurai sword, the Katana was meant to be a purposeful tool
- Initially 1,100cc, the engine was sleeved down so that it could qualify for AMA Superbike racing (which had a 1,000cc upper limit), though they figured that consumers were going to expect 1,100cc performance. In 1983 Katanas returned to 1,100cc (1,074)
- With changes to the crankshaft, camshafts and the addition of round-slide Mikuni VM32SS carburettors, the 1-litre bike produced 90bhp, only two less than the 1100
- This is frame number #129 of 2,995, however, only 166 of these bikes were allocated to the UK market
- The odometer currently shows 7,083 original miles
- Starts and runs. May require a light recommissioning before use as it has been in dry storage for over ten years
- Some paint is flaking off on the rear faring. Supplied with its original tool kit
- With only 166 imported and many no longer around, this is a rare bike and with just over 7,000 miles would be at home in any collection of landmark Suzukis
