Don't need it, don't know when I'll ride it, but I'd quite like it.

They were kinda cool, certainly look like the 11/1200 at first glance.
I'd rather a 400 Katana tho'

Nice bike!
Before some dickhead put pod filters and a pink handlebar on it, then parked it on the promenade for a year.
Too much money for one in that condition.

Presume it's a Jap import (were they officially imported?). Looks like a lot of Jap imports low miles but abandoned long long ago and left unloved. Maybe for 1-1.2k but I'd not wanna pay more.

It's a Jap import and I did think it looked in rough condition, I thought £1K max was a more realistic price

Re: Talk me out of buying another old shitter
TBH that's been my conclusion over the weekend, but with bikes I go round in a circle of "why do I want a big on the road, I'm not using the power" followed by buying a small bike and then getting bored with thrashing the tits out of it
