Katana Owners Club U.K.

Hi all,

My name is Lex, 26 years young and completely ruined by the virus. No, not that one, the Suzuki virus...
It's gotten so bad that I have NOS bolts on my dinner table and Kat exhaust headers on my desk.
After a small discussion with one of your members (John R.) I decided to join too.

I like all Suzuki's, but the Big Kat has been #1 on the list for years. Icon, masterpiece, brute and torturous even for my young back.

Will be reading up, and hopefully bring some information to the table

Cheers,
Lex

So you are located in the Netherlands, I assume? Not far from me then. Got 10 Minutes to the border near Winterswijk.
Once you feel safe here, you will be talked into organizing a EuroKat meet. Mark my words.
Oh, and welcome. Make yourself comfortable. Feel safe.

Hi Lexdba - welcome to the forum. As I put in another post we are fast becoming Katana Owners Club EU as we have had new members from France and Ireland recently and of course we have had Pedda from Germany and Alexandre from France for ages.

EuroKat 10 (2022) is going hopefully going to be in Holland (or Belgium) organised by us in the UK but I'm sure we'll need some help from you, so don't go away!

Hi Lex, welcome to the mad house
The Kat fits some better than others, I’m 66yrs old, 5ft 7inches and 11 1/2 stone (don’t know what that is in modern measurements) my Kat is really comfortable to ride. Bit of a brute to push around but once moving it’s great.

Hi there and welcome , nice to see a newer generation than most of us on here.
We have fond memories ..most fuzzy of Netherlands ....and not just Amsterdam!

I would love a Busa but being a poor pensioner I can’t afford one

I'll definitely be down for the EuroKatMeet 10.0

Bob, I don't plan on going anywhere. Even paid the tenner to stay
The Dutch Katana-forum is just as dead as your average Kwak motor....

I love the Kat for all the right reasons, but when it comes to actually riding a bike I tend to take the GS850.. or the GS550... or the GS450... or the GN250... or the GR650... or the big yellow 1100 from some kind of unknown German company...
