In the early 1980s, Suzuki commissioned Hans Muth of Target Design in Germany to create a radical new aesthetic for its two-wheelers, the result being the distinctive Katana, named and styled after a Japanese sword. This stunning looking Katana was bought in 1988 by the vendor as only its second owner. Over the next 34 years he spent a fortune modifying the bike with top quality components, all documented in an extensive paperwork/photo file. The engine has been enlarged to 1260cc with a Wiseco big bore kit, GSX1100EF cylinder head and gearbox, Mikuni RS38 flat-sides, Dyna ignition and coils and an oil cooler all breathing out through a Yoshimura Titanium end can. The frame has been modified with mono-shock rear suspension sporting an Ohlins damper, WP upside down front forks, Dymag wheels, Brembo front disc, Spiegler 8 piston callipers and master cylinder along with numerous other bespoke items. This has been a labour of love for the vendor who at 74 years old has decided it now needs to move on to someone who can enjoy its incredible specification. Whilst heavily modified, the bike has kept the essence of the early ‘80s Katana and comes supplied with an extensive 47 page file and photos documenting its story on a memory stick, an MOT until 20-10-24 and a current V5C.
