Just interested to know if my old Kat from 86 is still out there somewhere. My old reg was D880 DOT it was the white version with gold frame and wheels, pretty low mileage and in perfect condition for the age, I would have sold it in 87/88 as I was at sea a lot then. Cheers

That reg is not a regular attendee to our events nor had it ever been to any in the last 17 years...
I'm sad and note reg numbers and DOT would stand out....( the old Manchester motorcycle works mill still has the painting on it ....devoid of trouble..)
That's not to say it isnt squirrelled away waiting for a sunny day.
We shall see? ;)

DVLA site Tax was due 1st Oct 2009, so it was alive in 2009 I would guess, so might be hidden away somewhere.

So yours was an official UK version then (it had the MPH sticker in the speedo)?

Uncle Bob, thanks for the note. No it was actually an import to Canada, got cancelled in shipment, ended up at a Suzuki dealer in Portsmouth and the speedo while in MPH had the red line at 55mph.
