If its a proper Katana(later version) the 750 has a pop up headlight, There were still a few of the proper shape Katanas about. Butt the yanks called the GSX750 a Katana and it looks like a Kettle or teapot.

Slightly off topic, I think Suzuki have put the name "Katana" to a moped too. Razz

Proper design classic that... Luvverly. Smile

I suspect on a '95 plate it'll be a teapot though. Sad Still a worthwhile bike and all that.

You might find an 1100 Katana on a '95 plate, and definitely the 400 'cos mine was. But I would think the 750's (And there were a good few grey imported during the nineties) would all be on age related plates.

Maaan I love them Katanas. Smile

Sadly yes, but I didn't mention that as to me the (Original style)Katana Was and still is one of the best looking bikes ever to grace this planet. Wink


*edit*

Hmmm..........................Thats two BMW1150GS owners that think the Katana looks the dogs danglies...... Thinking
