New Kat

Post by FBJ » Mon Jun 15, 2020 9:56 am

Hi all, just a quick update on my new Kat. I rode one when they first came out, not enough to get to know it.
I personally think its a great ride, sit up and go. It's fast and handles great. I took Flo out for a pillion ride the other day, 70 miles and she was fine. I ordered a venture rack yesterday with a grab rail.
I try to look at this as new bike as a homage to the original, not a replacement.
Anyway, i love it

I must admit it’s growing on me, I like the under tray, number plate rear light mod. I think it tidies the rear end up a treat. It’s a great bike in its own right. Now where can I find £10k :lol:

I've ordered a tail tidy.
Wheels in Peterborough have just bought all of Suzukis press launch bikes. I asked about a cash deal and got another £600 discount from a really good price. It was well under £8000 with 1500 miles in mint condition

I've done 200 miles now, we're getting to know each other, i've softened the front end a little, much better comfort.
Back still to do. Have to say it's bringing the boy racer out of me
