I was sixteen when the 1100 Katana was first on sale, I was a lucky sod whose parents had just bought me a brand new H**da MT50 rode it to school for six months, only kid with a crash helmet in the classroom! then got a job as a telegram boy for the Royal Mail and they got me through my moped test so I was one of only a few 'sixteeners' with no 'L' plates on my bike :) used to buy mags like motorcycle mechanics and when I saw the new Katana my jaw hit the floor, still think it looks amazing to this day.

Wow there is a language barrier on this site and that sentence above this post is just too offensive.
I realise tractors have a place in Norfolk , but they have their own forums ;)
