    What a find! Seriously, this would take pride of place in my shed...even as is.

    It looks rough but would be nice to see if it would start at least good video again 👍👍

    Sometimes you need to know when to walk away from it.

    Someone gave me a "free" 1996 Katana once. Nine months later, much tinkering and $1,600. later, it was back on the road. After that project, I stopped working on motorcycle projects. Very curious to see what happens to this one. good luck!

    What’s a good one worth boys, I’d be curious to see what he wants for it. From what I could see in this video it just needs a lot of hours spent on it.

    It would be pointless putting it back together in the condition it is in. Just for somebody to have to rip it apart again to get it on the road/restore. It is going to be a huge project. But seeing it in that state is sad. Would he sell it as is?

      I think the owner wants us to tell its story and get it back in one piece again. He'd love to see it started and at a chance maybe become a project bike for us.

    Sadly looks too far gone unless you have 3 months off work and a big budget :D

      Errr.... Nope.
      fULL DSH, owner knew what he was going into.
      Baz is a decent guy, deserves more subscibers and is quality..........

    Sweet I think only Kat owners understand the Specialty of a Katana... They are a Spirt Tourer.. they have the get up and go with the comfort of a touring bike.. Now it is an 81 but its a 1st year edition of the Katana. No Brainer.

    To be honest, even though you travelled so far, I would have gave this one a miss.

      Katana 750cc pop up? Not officially imported into the Uk. Yes, Were There Enough
      Pertinent Questions Asked of the owner??

    I've seen what you are capable of. Put this bike back on the road.

    Errr..... Baz; I wouldn't touch Ruaidhri with a ten-foot bargepole.
    He sounds like a snake-oil salesman.
    Luckily, I've got a YolkyFani 138cc, twin-turbo V7 'barn find' for sale........

    • @SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport
      @SpecialisedMotorcycleTransport  Рік тому +1

      That's a very unusual spelling of a name. 🤔
      Would you start that barn find or take medicine for it? 😂

    • @forandonbehalfof4753
      @forandonbehalfof4753 Рік тому

      Errr.... You've probably worked out who I am and know that I have no respect for YT 'Oooh that's nice' idiots.
      Oh!!! I forgot to mention: One of my 'lack of carers' hid my mankini so I'm sorry that I can't expose myself to you.
      I know you'll re-build the Katana and although I've gotta spaz voice; I can point and explain stuff.......
