After two years time I updated that bike by a 1100cc engine, Koni shocks, Speer seat unit and black colour.

In the mid nineties I also owned this absolute stock Katana, only thing I did with it was fix a set of Krauser cases to it and ride it.

The pic shows the bike packed for our honeymoon trip just about to lift off...

Pedda, do you still have your first Katana? that would be impressive! I like your one with the efe engine best. Do you have a good side ways on shot of a kat fitted with a 1200 Bandit swingarm. want to see if the swinger looks to short

John,
I sold my first Kat sometime in the mid nineties. It went to a member of the former Danish Katana Club. I don't know whether it is still on the road today.

The B12 swinger is approx. the same length as the stock Katana swinger.
I'll have to trawl through all my pics to find a good sideview snapshot I think. Or make a new one...
