Katana Owners Club U.K.

Hi all, I have finally got a Katana. 35 years after falling in love with them. But sadly I have to work on mine to get it on the road. Keep me busy during winter. It's a 650 shaft, japanese import. Price was right though. Looking forward to the challenges it brings to get it road worthy. Any help and advice will be greatfully received such as part stockists etc.

Thanx for the accept into the excusive club.

Darren from Hull.

Welcome aboard!

Hello and welcome. You have just under two weeks to get it ready for the Eurokat at Ripon. See you there.

Good point! There should be a whole bunch of Kat's heading past Hull on the way to EK10.

Me included, save using the A1 on the way up!

Welcome Hully , 650's top machines....even if you've not got it on the road you are "expected " At Ripon in a few seconds time . All the info you'll need is there

Hully just seen the 650 in question on FB page & although I replied in another post ....
After looking at it , like most 40 yr old bikes it's a bitsa . Not really an issue but a few measurements of stuff to confirm is what's required
It's clearly 1983-4 model but obviously had a repaint ,the engine if it is a very late GD Model ( indeed rare here) then the engine has been replaced with either a GT or earlier G ..
Could even be as simply as later wheels are the replacement .

Hiya, just seen this post. A lot of info there to take in. I honestly didn't expect so many different variations.
Hoping to get to Ripon of Friday.
