Yoshimura Katana 1175R

It is very hard to believe that this bike is based on a 30 year old model.  The Suzuki Katana was not that popular in it’s time as the European design was considered quite radical, however, it has developed a strong cult following over the years.  Here we have the Yoshimura custom, with the beefed up engine, matte black paint and plenty of other tidy goodies.  To be quite honest, I also thought the Katana was quite an ugly bike until I saw this.  Maybe it has finally come into its age.
