Kat riders.. you are wanted!

**<aH_Joe>** · 21-12-2007 12:44 AM

A bit out of topic...

Katana 750, used to have a fren who own 1.
but its a older model ( in the pic below) but colour is diff, my fren's is stock white blue...

Guess so far, still the only bike that has a "Flip Open" headlight.

He kept that in tip top condition. a 20 plus years old bike, but problem free...
He use it for touring too, KL , Thailand to him is just like some of us going to JB....

Respect those who ride and maintain their bike, let alone such an old bike.

the above pic is the exact one with similar color.

unfortunately it is not well maintained.. strain of yesteryears shows very clearly on the above mentioned bike.

hopefully the owner will do something to upkeep the condition of this rare bike.

**kusa** · 04-01-2008 05:43 PM

yea.. will be a waste if one dont maintain such a rare beauty.. im waiting for recycle's pic once his bike done grooming ha
