Description
I CAN SEND LINK TO YOUTUBE VIDEO OF BIKE IF REQUIRED
PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION, THIS IS A VERY RARE MOTORBIKE & THE CURRENT OWNER SINCE 2021 HAS BEEN THROUGH THE BIKE FROM FRONT TO BACK & MADE IT A VERY COLLECIBLE & RIDEABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC "TARGET" DESIGNED SUZUKI KATANA - JUST GOOGLE THEM TO SEE HOW SPECIAL THEY ARE
So, John has had the engine out, checked internals, valve clearances etc. and all perfect, then sent away to be professionally cleaned & sprayed black in tough weatherproof coating. Whilst the engine was out he had the frame sprayed (NOT powder coated) & a lovely high quality new paint job & sourced some new old stock parts he thought worth replacing together with some very expensive sympathetic upgrades, chief of which is the stunning bespoke titanium exhaust sourced directly from Japan to the tune of £2, 500 (original not included). Below is a non exhaustive list of bits done since his ownership & he's only covered a few hundred miles on it since.
New genuine brake pads
Correct period tyres
Original seat
Original uncut rear mudguard (fender)
New chain & sprockets
Upgraded period swing arm

I genuinely think you'll struggle to find a better example, especially with the 1100 being so rare & normally chopped about. The bike starts on the button, runs like a dream (and is still very swift if needed) - Try finding another one this good.
The bike was imported to UK way back in 2004 (believed to be originally from USA) & so has lots of MOT history etc. & comes with a clear HPI report showing just 2 previous owners in UK - a true modern classic now registered as an historic vehicle
