This wasn`t my first bike but it was and still is my favourite-1983 Suzuki 750 Katana.It really turned heads!.I`m still kickin myself for selling it.

The flip up headlight came on the `85 Katana(at least it did up here)which had a pearl white fairing and gold accents on a mostly black engine.Oh,and gold coloured rims.Mine was grey and red in colour and was the second year it came out.When they(1100&750)were introduced in `82 they were both mostly grey in colour(battleship grey I`m told).In `83,the 750 was grey and red and the 1100 was grey and blue.In the later years of owning the 750,I took out the engine and slipped in a GS1150 engine and it fit!!!.All I had to do was trim the countershaft cover to fit the frame and fabricate the bottom engine mounts.Ever since then I`ve been hooked on big bore grunt.
