It's not a proper Kat unless it's got the counter swinging speedo/tacho.

I don't like it and no desire to ride it.... but it's a lovely lovely job. I appreciate all the time and effort in that.

That's nice, I like how the original Katanas look, but they're not very nice to ride, especially the 1100, the 750 is the best of them.

Re: SUZUKI KATANA 1100 RESTOMOD
The looks of the Katana never did anything for me in 1980 and the intervening 44 years haven't changed that. But this is a fine piece of work and a tasteful and subtle upgrade. I'm very glad that AC Sanctuary didn't go down the bling route with gold Ohlins forks and shock - black is way better.

As a kat lover, of course I'm going to be a bit 'ooooooh', but AC must have bought a fuckload of anodised red bits and are obviously trying to shift the stock

Re: SUZUKI KATANA 1100 RESTOMOD
Not a fan of the looks but it would be interesting to see if it rides better than the original, given the changes that have been made. Having said that, there can't be many in the UK that got to ride such a late version.
