Said to be a gsxr 1000 under new clothing. I think it looks pretty cool. Good to see Suzuki putting out a new model. Last one was discontinued in 2006.
Correction: gsx-S 1000. Which is a 2005 GSX-R1000 but reconfigured very well for the street.Said to be a gsxr 1000 under new clothing.
Not sure? Do you remember Woods Honda was down the street? Right where the restaurant supply company is now.yea, i remembered that suzuki shop on n. lamar & Morrow st/Guadalupe st (iirc)
who owned that suzuki shop, you know? was it Jack O'Leary, big time dirt biker?
The second one was the one I was talking about. It was so different when it came out. Stood out like a turd in a punch bowl. Wow they were way different back then. And fast. I think they only came in silver do you remember GJ? I do like the color on your older one. Bet you miss it?I had one of the previous generation Kat's, and they weren't weird enough either. Still, it was a good affordable first bike.
Barber has a nice one on display, greatly enjoyed seeing it in person.

Mc glory days.Yea buddy! You know it. Woods HONDA was THE m/c store back in the 80's.
And TJ's started his business out of a small house south of DPS station, on N. Lamar, between 51st & Koenig Lane. His shop didn't get its start at the location that's across from the Driver's license BLDG & Whataburger.
And, I remembered back in the 80's , a BMW m/c dealership on Burnet Rd & 41st, across from whole foods, the same bldg as the Ferrari dealership is right now?
Oh, and while I'm walking down memory lane..who here still remembers
Austin Cycle salvage on Burnet & 43rd? That place kicked butt!!!

Dao has a darker one above. I don't have actual memory of those because they were before I got into motorcycling. I'd read up in a magazine on a comparison on beginner bikes and the Katana 600 was highly rated for that purpose. I wasn't too fond of the color but they were knocking a grand off the $6K price so me and my roommate bought two of them.The second one was the one I was talking about.

It would if you don't want to go too far. They reduced the GSX-S fuel tank from 4.5 gallons to 3.2 gallons. Ergos will be similar. The GSX-S is definitely a fun blast around bike and some folks have even taken multi day trips with the naked version, though I think the faired model would be better as a sport tourer.nevertheless, this would make a very nice weekend only, sunny day joy riding toy.
as for katana.....I sure did like the old....obviously b/c time has come and gone, we're now accustomed to its radical shape
but the NEW (below) will take some time for the public to get used to...

Killer Color!Correction: gsx-S 1000. Which is a 2005 GSX-R1000 but reconfigured very well for the street.
Not feeling this one, I'll keep mine which looks better and has a bigger gas tank.
South Austinite here. We had Kasson’s on S Lamar and a Suzuki/Guzzi shop on Ben White and Banister. Krum Kawasaki on Barton Springs. For Honda, we had to go North to Woods.Yea buddy! You know it. Woods HONDA was THE m/c store back in the 80's.
