1982 Suzuki GSX / Katana

Description

1982 SUZUKI KATANA
GS1000SZ
This beautiful 1982 GS1000SZ with a 1983 GS1100SD motor is coming out of my private collection!
It is in excellent condition with low miles! I have owned many Katana’s and GS’s this one is awesome, love to ride this one! The bike has been set up period correct the way it would have been in 1982. Could be easily be converted back to all stock OEM if you could find a stock exhaust.
I have only put less than 1000 miles on it in the last few years and have enjoyed miles. So, I hate say it is time to sell a few bikes!
The speedometer was replaced. With only about 15K miles she doesn’t need anything, just a new rider! I had tank (fuel tank is rust free) and bodywork painted with new OEM paint so there are no chips, dents, scratches or even scuff markets! The full Vance & Hines exhaust system in perfect condition and sounds awesome, when you start her up it will instantly bring you back to 1982!
The tires only have a few hundred miles on them. The seat is a brand-new custom seat cover black and silver to match the bike and motor! The bike has new brakes (front and rear calipers completely professionally rebuilt), carburetors professionally rebuilt with a stage 3 Dyno-S and synchronized with K&N pod filters (carburetors ultrasonic cleaned), chain, sprockets, fork seals where all replace last year with all OEM parts with very few miles on them! Steel braided brake lines where installed a few years ago!
T
he Motor came from a very low miles (3800 miles) 1983 GS1100SD when it made room for a drag motor back in the day. I wanted the 1100 motor and I think it looks awesome with the black motor which is a much better motor!
This Katana looks, runs and rides better then it did when it rolled of the showroom floor back in the day!
I HAVE BEEN RIDING, RACING, RESTORING, AND COLLECTING THE BEST BIKES SINCE GRADUATING FROM AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE INSTITUTE "AMI" IN DAYTONA BEACH FL. IN 1980. I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN THE BIKES I DO DECIDE TO SELL, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
