Low start price of £500, could do with some cosmetic work but appears sound.

After the price Fossie's old 400 went for recently who knows what it will finally go for.

Checked images again, how did someone get the side panel decals on so wrong?

Is the decal wrong? On the very first Katana the decal was at an angle......granted not on a 650 , never in the middle of the panel! I myself wondered at the milage , I mean those clocks are really low milage clocks,
and some GS 550 ET from 1978 is missing a set!
The correct clocks should have a fuel gauge and side stand warning light, .....be black and round.
That said and the ill fitting 550 KAT guilliari seat aside , could be a decent machine for about £650.
Carbs allowing it wouldn't take much to be in honest employment again.

550 guillari seat never had a grab rail. I always wished it did.
