The Suzuki 'Stratosphere'
#1
Here is suzukis new concept bike.Looks like theyve gone back to the eighties for their ideas.
Looks vauguely like a barney katana,and a 6 cylinder 1100cc engine?
I thought honda did that years ago with the CBX.
Some nice styling ideas though,just love that dash.
Where does the playstation plug into?

I like it --- when I bought my new GSX750S Katana in late 1982 from Macklins in Miranda it cost me $3190. I'll see how I go at scanning some of the original sales glossy pics and posting --- interestingly enough Suzuki mentions wind tunnel testing and backs it up with pics .
It was a bike that most people either liked or hated purely on looks --- not much has changed with the BUS really.

oppss -- just noticed the advertised dry weight 228kgs whilst the 1100 Katana came in at 232kg's....... what do 750's weigh now???? Edited by: Gazza414 at: 21/10/05 9:49 am

That one had the aftermarket lower fairing Rod and its a 1100 I believe.... they did make a 1000cc model with spoke wheels and different carbs for the Castrol 6 hr I think --- these bikes were sourced from NZ and South Africa??? memory needs some help here!!!

Some off us are still living in the dream, I'll try to post some pic's of my Kat : 83 chasis and body work 90's suspension,brakes, wheels and motor , not to mention a small 60 shot.

Sure gets the young guns thinking!
