My modified home market GSX1100 Katana

The only vehicle I've ever had from brand new. Bought her in 1999 and shipped her from Japan to the UK. Over the years the list of modifications has been extensive but more on the subtle side, or at least not 'in ya face'! Derestricted, frame braced, various Yoshimura parts, uprated suspension and b...

Re: West to East run ..

OK, I'll tag along from the OK Diner at Leominster meet up at 1300 on Saturday June 14th, then ride with the group to the YHA Stratford-upon-Avon (have booked a room there already to make life simpler).

Re: West to East run ..

I’d be up for this, but as I’m down south and can’t take a lot of time out, could meet you somewhere in the middle on the Sunday for the last leg into Sheringham. Then stay the night and head back south on the Monday. Depends on the route.

Re: Best exhaust for the 1000

I stumbled across these recently and really like the look of them:

But as they're listed for the 1100 Kat I'm not 100% sure if they'll fit the 1000 Kat?

How many GSX1000SZ Katanas left in the world?

Good evening all, I wondered how many GSX1000SZ bikes were ever made in the first place, so the big Kats qualified for homologation? 

And if there's a register for the 1000s, or if we have any idea of how many are left? Thanks!
