The Grandfather of Sportsbikes: Suzuki Katana 750
The Suzuki Katana 750 has long been a dream bike for Perth motorcycle rider Caleb, who was initially introduced to the model by his father. Now, some years on, he has his very Katana that takes across the roads of Western Australia.

Follow us on Instagram: ride.journal Shot & edited by hammer.creative When most riders build their first cafe racer, it’s usually a learning experience and the end product isn’t anything spectacular. That’s not the case for Jason and his custom BMW R80 cafe racer - it’s an elegant piece of art that makes a statement with a truly unique copper-dipped frame.

    è vero,le ultime 750 sport avevano i carter lucidati. non so se, dietro richiesta, la Ducati fornisse la moto con sella biposto (senza il codino). mi rimane il dubbio circa la testa della forcella che mi risulta essere nera.

    GREAT bike! Well done for fulfilling your dream! My dad had ordered a Shadow back in '54. At the time, it cost 50% _more_ than a brand new VW Beetle (at least here in Denmark). He cancelled the order fearing he'd be committed to an asylum for spending that kind of money on a motorcycle... He'd sailed in the U.S. merchant navy for 3 years.. That decision to cancel the purchase was of his biggest regrets right up until the day he passed away nearly 50 years later.

    So nice to see a Sport not chopped up and turned into a "green frame". Awesome bike, mine was this model, single Scarab disc though. Bought it second hand for $1400 and got $1800 when I traded it in at Fraser's on a first model Pantah 500SL. Not a day goes I don't kick myself that I don't have that Sport anymore.😊

    Beautiful bike but after all that work what a shame to compromise a vintage Norton Commando by installing that single Mikuni. You may have forgotten what your brother's bike really ran like?

    One great thing when building these engines is to swap out the exhaust cam with one from the earlier 650's like "70" Bonnie. These are a much better cam. We did a 79 Bonnie for road racing also added 10.5 to 1 Comp. Average street guy better not to have hi comp.Bike did 12.84 et @ 106mph. Triumph fans check out Steve McQueen 40 Summers ago.

    That's an AWESOME old Triumph, it's fantastic looking. the pipes are perfect and it sounds great. and I like the tank and the color scheme. about the only thing that I would possibly think of changing? would be a more aggressive knobby tires. maybe similar to an enduro/trials type. mainly a tire that would allow a person to the best of both worlds.

    @kdsowen2882 4 місяці тому

    A 1983 Katana 750 was my first dedicated sports-bike . I really loved it , my previous bike was a souped-up Kawasaki KZ1000 , much faster but did not handle like the Suzuki plus not as smooth . I went on to own big Laverdas and Ducati's , to date I've owned about 54-bikes , currently riding a W650 , an XV1000 (TR1) and a cafe'd Yamaha XS-2 650/700 . They are all great in their own-ways . While I still think-fondly of the Katana , I really-regret selling my 76 Ducati 750GT , it was just about the perfect All-Rounder for me . The XV1000 is now my poor-mans GT750 and gives a remarkably-similar experience , or maybe it's just old-age Dave nz
