1998 Suzuki Katana 750

I picked up this gem for $2,100.00 from a guy in Iron Mountain, MI. I found it on Craigslist.org.
He was an older gentleman and obviously took exceptional care of the bike. It has 13,280 miles on it. It weighs 518 lbs. with a full tank of fuel and bone stock would run 0-60 MPH in just 3.52 seconds and blasts through the 1/4 mile in 11.52 seconds @ 116.26 MPH. It has a measured top speed of 143 MPH brakes 60 - 0 MPH in 111.4 feet. It has a 5.3 gallon fuel tank and gets an average just a tick over 44 MPGs. Bone stock it made 92 horsepower & 50 lbs./ft. of torque (85 RWHP & 47 lbs/ft. of torque measured on a dyno). It is extremely comfy and the rider can handle 600 mile trips on it without regret.
This bike has had a throttle lock (cruise control) added to it as well as a super trick 12V power source (cigarette lighter style) hidden under the seat.
It has also had the stage-I jet kit installed to take out that lean flat spots that the newer emission friendly carbureted bikes all have. This gives it a 3-4 horsepower increase as well.
Another feature this bike has that I really like is a center stand.
