|  Newbie Hi folks, I'm new to your forums,Been riding for a few years here in OZ, off and on for nearly 25 years, yes I'm old  Recently bought myself a K5 GSX750F and am having a ball. Found it surprising that my bike is called a Katana in the states. It is nothing like the old Katana I rode years ago. still goes just as hard, but is damn comfortable. |

| Even in the U.S. the Katana's official "model" is still GSX750F (or GSX600F) but it's "name" is the Katana. Oh, and welcome!
