I like that. Although the 'hole' looks a bit odd and I'm not keen on the anodised fittings (on any bike). But yeah be happy with that in my garage.

A bike i never liked the look of and a modernised version has not changed that opinion.

A couple of my mates had Katana's,I also didn't like them,but I like this one apart from the gap under the seat & unfiltered carbs,must be the change in colour from silver to black

Just having a single seat would sort that.
It has a full-size pillion seat, then the tailpiece. Too much.
Even bland can be a type of character

I don't think I've ever seen a Katana with a tidied up tail - I know it's the original design, but it's pants.

I also never really understood all the adulation heaped on the Katana, but that restomod definitely improves on the original. Not difficult, though...

I was never a Katana fan until I saw this one, since then I've like them more esp modded ones.

Those Team Classic Suzuki colours are excellent,it baffles me that Suzuki don't sell bikes in versions of that colour scheme.

There's very little original Katana in that, probably just the crankcases, block and head.

Ditto. The bodywork finishes a bit abruptly.
