GSX750F according to the seller. on a G plate. Registered as a GSX 750F. It's not an 82 Katana, he says so...


So does that make it a Tea Pot, or a TeeKat?

the teapots had a square section frame
He says the frame has been modified, but that is one hell of a mod to get it round section !!!

There’s always this one…..

The seller even says “It’s Not a Katana” :lol: :lol:
i read that as ''the frame number ive stamped onto this katana frame isnt from a kat" thats a kat frame, but the dataplate rivetted to the right side frame tube in front of the engine is clearly from a later bike as the kats didnt come with one. i hear a ringing noise when i look at that...........

GR72A according to that VIN plate. So should be a 750 EF....

....with a square section frame.

It's just a GSX1400 with Kat bodywork. The only reason to change the VIN is..
GSX250SS Tinykat (gone, but the hole in my wallet not forgotten)
GSX400SS Smallkat
GT250 X7
GT200 X5
BMW R1250R
