EK8 is 2018, not next year.
Yes, and that's the only details for the time being. We usually get more information just in time to get vacation sorted.

Well hello there Bob from Austria via NZ. Please bare with us, I'm sure members traffic will be resumed once people suss the new forum.
Obviously the pop up is an import from Japan....how did it end up there? Was it bought off a Brit or did you take it /bring it from NZ?
Either be way the next EuroKat meeting is in Denmark August 2018. Location and actual dates TBC.

You are of course more than welcome to our annual UK meets , Apr north England or Sep southern England .......or the German meeting. Which I believe is May ...next year should be Bavaria region, which should really suit you eh?

Oh and love the engine bars .though they really would look better on my pop up ;) :lol:

Im curious as to how you can tell it is a Japanese import? I have noticed things are a little quite around here... i just figured it was because the market section is no longer public?! Damn shame, i have parts to offer but am not yet ready to become a member.
Thanks for the invite! I would love to make it to a few meets if i can. The German meet is definitely on the agenda :)
I bought this Katana from a guy in Bulgaria. He imported it from Singapore. I particularly liked the engine bars too! It also had an extra fairing around the front of the engine but i didnt like the look so i removed it.

To be honest Bob not rocket science ow we knew it was an import, this model was only exported to Aus , NZ, S Africa , and a handful to UK. ( Canada got some but slightly different.). You will notice all the countries mentioned are rhd. Yours would have been a grey import to Singapore which obviously is cheap due to proximity to Japan ....but keeping a vintage bike in Singapore is expensive after 10 years old. So probably then headed for Europe in a container.

We used to have the for sales on open Chanel but people would ask for bits then flog them on , instead of saving our bikes.
