The bike is in good to fair condition. Please refer to the pictures for the bike condition. The bike runs well but needs some TLC. This bike is all original as far as I know and can tell. I am listing this bike with a $2500 reserve. If you have any questions please let me know.

Some History: Underneath its wild appearance lives a more-or-less standard issue GS. The bikeâ€™s engine, though a fine dual-overhead-cam 16-valve power plant, is essentially an earlier GS1100 mill with a 2mm-smaller bore and a 1.2mm-shorter stroke. The frame, swingarm and wheels were also basically taken from the GS1100.

Ergonomics are a different story altogether. Clip-on bars and rear-set pegs and controls made the Katana feel like a much more focused beast than its GS1100 brother. Named after a samurai sword, the Katana was meant to be a purposeful tool. Suzuki originally sleeved down the Katâ€™s engine so that it could qualify for AMA Superbike racing (which had a 1,000cc upper limit), though they figured that consumers were going to expect 1,100cc performance.

To try and make up for the lack of displacement, they added a few tricks, including the Twin Swirl Combustion Chambers (TSCC) that were reshaped for better high-rpm fuel atomization.

Though the performance numbers came close to replicating the larger engine, period tests noted that the 1,000cc engine really had to be wrung out to perform like its big brother, and the GS1000SZ still lacked an obvious amount of torque in comparison. For 1983, they bumped displacement back up to 1,100cc.
