Found a small part of my Katana hoard of memorabilia / tat that I have collected over the years - this is from a cupboard in the spare bedroom. I think the rest is in the loft.
Joe Bar Katana magazine - lots of nice pictures and some history.........

Got a 250 Kat Japanese brochure just after getting the bike, some great pics but my Japanese isn't very good so I can't read it!

From my collection of Kat Tat, a deck of playing cards that are so well used that they stick together now and can't be used, and an Australian bike mag that a friend's son brought over with him when he last visited.

From the jewel in my collection of tat, the Suzuki 1981 range of bikes brochure. Interestingly it shows the production model on the front cover, but the Cologne show concept bike inside.

In my opinion they should have kept the concept exhaust pipe shape and routing for the production model.

Any chance of scanning some of the pages on the 250/400 manuals?

I could find the parts books.

I'm thinking more of the sections in the official manual that show you the correct routing for cables and wiring.
