Could be a bargain.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-Katan ... SwMPxe7jB0
We have spare seats in the club.
Keys are not a real issue if you take the helmet lock off and take it a proper locksmith he can cut a key for it ...viola a key for the ignition . The fuel cap will probably just undo anyway... If it does then this can be used in stead of the helmet lock.

Re: Could be a bargain.
went over today to give this a look (Bradford way)
on the down side quite tatty, rear brake needs attention, choke not connected/working, discs a bit worn (but not too bad)
plus side front brake seems ok/good pressure forks/seals seem ok suspension seems ok, chain ok (but no chainguard), told pop up works
all in all not a great deal to do to get roadworthy though a lot more required to get tidy/mint
Above is all assuming it actually runs and electrics are OK as no key so can't start/check anything
On the key front it is apparently a 1 key bike and the tank filler is unlocked, so as Fossie states not a big issue. This does however raise the question as it's a simple fix why hasn't previous owner done this to ensure a better sale price, something to hide ?
as with all used bikes (I suppose) caveat emptor

Re: Could be a bargain.
I've come across the key issue many times, people just don't think past the ignition key opens everything else.....instead the SAME KEY ..and of course getting a spare key cut nowadays will take you to Timpson et al who are not locksmiths .
