I'm not a huge fan of the 750/1000/1100 to ride (I like how they look), the riding position makes a heavy steering bike even heavier steering, I'd rather have another GSX1100ET (the Kat is just a tarted up ET) as the riding position is better, chain drive GS1000 also has the same frame btw, the big Suzukis are the best handling big bike of that era, but the competition for that title isn't great.

I gather "modern classic" has replaced "barn find" as a description for clapped out overpriced POS that would be better as boat anchors.
