will my world ever be the same ????

seriously, congrats
 
Im glad to see a little bit of "purple haze " slipped through to the keeper!!
Nice one John.
Welcome to the fold!!

Awesome JR, looks great, I had doubts that Derek's handiwork could have been reversed but it has. Great buy!
 
Nice John, hopefully I'll see it in a few weeks.

Paul, the whole idea of Derek's Frankenkat is that it could be reversed by putting all the original bits back on, you now see the result, Derek did not want to do any frame mods so thus, back to stock.... the frankenkat II however......
 
Well done John and welcome to The Real Katana World. Hope to Kat-ch up soon with you and your Real Kat.

Cheers mate.
 
cheers guys,

No darkside, cause I`ve been there done that and have several T-shirts.
But with a real Katana I can still wear the shirts....

Silly season is upon us, so there wont be much action till after it,
First step is to get the rego sorted...(TMR seem to think its a unreal GSXR1100) The front brakes need some attention, and I have the chain guard, to go on.


Purple Forever Forever Purple!

Wow! What is this? Is the third photo Tshirt a joke? Or are you serious? Anyway I will not blame you. About it I'd feel like of a common impression which is imagined by people other than Japanese. Is this Tshirt commercially available?

real Katana T shirt.

Yes Takahiro, it is available on Ebay ,it is merchandise from the movie Suicide Squad.
IMG_20181202_070737 (2).jpg it's a chick.
Cheers Pat.
 
I blame crass Hollywood stereotypes.
movies loosely based on comic book, which was loosely based on nothing.

Looked in garage this morning, Katana was still there, must be real after all.
 
Hollywood surprise me sometimes. The T-shirt startled me. But I am not angry. It is so easy, if some country wars against Japan. Soldiers only have to wear that T-shirts. That T-shirt is intense force like that.

I read in the magazine before that export specification 750 has more horsepower than JDM's 750. The horsepower of the JDM's 750 is 69/8500rpm(type1) and 72/9000rpm(type2). How many horsepower does your 750 Kat as standard? 81 or 82?
Cheers
Takahiro
 
It's great to see a Kat in the garage ain't it? I love getting home from work now... open the door and there she is with a motor in the frame and an exhaust... if only it ran and had bodywork... and rego... :D
