This has been pride and joy since the spring of '96. I bought it from my uncle who was 29 at the time. He always thought he wanted a sport bike. So he finally goes out and buys one brand new, off the showroom floor. Gets it home, rides around for 1,500 miles. And parkes it in the garage. Then one day in conversation he mentions that he has it. Well just like him I always wanted one too.

A little bit later I was the prowd new owner of this 1994 Suzuki GSX660f Katana. It was my first bike and was perfectly suited so.

I put a few more miles on it than he did. But I have always taken very good care of it. Other than being parked outside during the day when I rode it to work, it has always been gargage kept.

It is all factory except for the Lockhart-Philips windscreen. I thought the purple looked really nice with the paint scheeme.

This truely is a comfortable and easy to ride sport bike. It is a perfect first bike. And it has plenty of power for an experienced rider. I once had it up to 135 MPH, with lots more available.

Here is a nice closeup of the gauge cluster. As you can see it has just over 30K on it. Almost all the miles on it are from me riding back and work from work since '96. I live about 35 miles from work, so it is a 70 mile round trip. This thing gets great mileage.

Last fall I got caught in a downpour on my way home. I don't mean a little shower, I mean pull over monsoon rain. I think what happened is that the water was so thick that it soaked the air filter and water got in the compression chambers. It turned out that I fryed the piston rings. I had the local Suzuki dealership rebuild it. I softly broke it in and took it back after the 500 mile break in for an oil change. It cost me a bundle, but the motor has been virtually rebuilt. It starts right up and runs like it rolled off the showroom floor. The motor is vitually brand new and just broke in.

Just before the rain thing happened, I just put new tires on it. I cant remember what the odometer read, but I know that there are alot of miles left on these. As you can see by the picture they have practically all the tread still on them.

Here are the only flaws on the bike. Not too bad for a '94. Here is a shot of the Driver's side lower fairing. It has some scratches from setting it down. It was still new and awkward to me. This is how I learned that you don't stop while it is leaned from turning. I was parking it, turning into my parking slot, stopped, and it got heavy real fast. I was not moving when it went down.

Well, here is a shot of the Passenger's side lower fairing. I guess I had to make that mistake twice before I could learn that lesson. Same thing happened about a month later, other side.

This rear fairing had a big long deep scratch from the previous owner. He said it happend in the garage. I found the same fairing on ebay and replaced it. Only problem was that the replacement had a scratch too. But it was mutch less than the one I had so I exchanged them. Here is the new one.

The seats look great. Mine were faded from the sun. My parking spot at work has no shade. I found the same seats on ebay and replaced them. They both have perfect color. But the replacement front seat has a little rip in it. I was going to eventually take it to an upolsterer and have it repaired. I just never got to it. I did put a little bit of glue under it to prevent it from ripping any more.

there are 2 tiny little chips in the paint right where the seat meets the fairing. They are almost under the seat, so you really don't notice them,.

there are also 2 tiny little chips in the paint on top the tank, up by the handle bars. Again these are really small, especially one of them. And you don't really notice them.

Like I said it has always been garage kept except at work. As you can see by the photos. By the way this brings me to why I am selling it. Right now it is not as clean as my GSX600f Katana, but here is my new toy. A 2000 GSX-R 750.

After riding this one, I really appreciate how rider-friendly the Katana is.
