That'll be because it is a 1983 750 S2 ...could be called an SD as it is 83 onwards...but Japan market only.
As for what you can get price wise.
It's a 750 so demands less interest from some. Jap market aftermarket exhaust, time of year so £1500 would be top price in reality. You may see loads of adverts for £0000's but they are the same ones !because they are always there.,!
16" front wheels are an acquired taste ..I like them , but they got a reputation for skittish handling so many people avoid.
The top prices are paid by people who just want to look at the bikes ...but they want it to be immaculate.
This one is honest and interesting , so yeah £1500 ish.

I think if you got rid of the horrible handbars / top yoke and fitted some proper Kat clipons so it looks more standard, give it a good clean, you would get a better price. I think given the prices for 1100 now, then I think you'd get £2k easy and if you got lucky, around £2.5k. The 16" wheel 750 has to be the least desirable version, but it's still a Kat! That's based on the small images I could see.

As someone wiser than me once said - Katana owners always under value their bikes...
