Race Katana 1100

Suzuki GSX1100 EFE (1229 big bore)

Immaculate GSX750SE Katana (popup)

Suzuki 1230 popup, had this one since I was 18, it's got a 1229 big bore GSX engine with modified frame to fit, this pic was years ago.

This is how it stands now (but with a spondon swingarm instead) work in progress but it will be back before too long.

Love the pop-ups, they were way ahead of their time design-wise.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Huge, lol. Plenty of space on the walls, You've cleaned them up :thumbup: I like them all, the grainy effect and the cleaned up :D don't know what sizes you can get but would imagine it's not cheap to do. Maybe 5' maybe 6'.

:eh: Am I leant over more in colour than black and white :lol:
