This was my first Suzuki, A brand new 1000 katana bought for the 1982 Manx grand prix, should never have  sold it.

Yes it was registered i had it brand I thought I bought it in 82 turns out it was 83, rode it two years in the manx gp 83 and 84 was one of the first if not the first to use a production bike for those races. in those days the race was six laps 226 miles and two pit stops that bike was so comfortable after a tz Yamaha . it was registered WNT40Y is it still about?. for 85 I had my first gsxr 750.

GT200X5 with chrome Allspeeds and S&B filters  and high and wide superbike bars in 1985, loved it as it would blast all the local LC boys away. 

I suspect it was down to the rider rather than the bike.
