Kat on the box

[BanditAl]

Just watched a programme about Barry Sheene on ESPN Classics on Sky. The racing was set during the early eighties with Bazza riding his Akai Yamaha 500GP bike. Between races he took the former footballer Jimmy Greaves for a pillion lap of Donington on the back of a road going Katana 1100. The bike had it's mirrors removed and was fitted with a set of lowers, but more interestingly the number plate was fitted and clearly visible :-
VNJ 215Y.
Wondered if this bike was still out there, if anybody had owned it or still owns it. The DVLA website show the bike as an 1100 first registered on 27/08/1982 and that the bike is currently unlicensed.
Great bit of history if you still own the bike the late great Barry Sheene rode it.
Cheers
Alan
