I hate sitting in traffic so the bike makes perfect sense. It also does 38mpg on unleaded and 0-100mph in just over 5 secs!

My old turbo was doing a tank of gas in 70miles! (normal riding) made the Ro look economical! TBH the zx12 is a much better road bike, had one which went like stink but it was a bit rough round the edges so got shot of it. Got a nice Old School Katana now to do up, 1428cc (or 1497 if I can shop in florida next mth...) with RS41 carbs... mmmmmmm. smokin

Good call! I'm jealous - Katanas are lovely bikes. I'm off to the IOM on Thursday, only 2 more sleeps. Wooo hooo!

Not done the IOM yet, one of those must do things and I think the Kat will be the bike to do it on... mind you the frames totally stripped at the moment ready for bracing and the missis does not know we are going shopping at MTC for the block whilst on holiday... biglaugh

GSXR1000 - awsome bike but ever Ccensoredts got one! Hence building an old big block Katana for posing on the street and racing at weekends.

B4 I sold the Busa Turbo I had one try to chase me on the motorway...LOL - you can imagine the outcome with no corners involved! (160 something HP vs a real world 350hp on low boost)
