here we go
this monday on january 13th i picked up 1992 suzuki GSX600F(katana stateside) for a sweet deal. originally it was offered to a good friend of mine for 400euros and could pay in several payments. unfortunately, or even better for me. His nissan s13, decided to show his age and decided that chassis has it's time to rest. so he have to look for a replacement shell or total rebuild of the one he has, that means lots of cash.
so i'm telling my darling love (who didnt let me change my mind on finally buying a bike-Amelia thread) suggested that we should buy it for ourselves. when i asked her:"what for?" she replied:"we could use it or fix and sell" also i liked the ohrase "if you wont buy it, i will" and "can you fix it? THEN GET IT"
so here we are, i bought bike together with my girl(still havent paid
)
plans are, to fix it until spring comes. well atleast one bike
for that i will need
still have no idea what for i needed to do it, also all my rides has name. this one dont.
probably it will be my track bitch with whom i will learn racing bikes, so possibly a fairing for it, a custom one. STOCK=UGLY AND GHAY(no offence, everyone has it's own taste)
previous owner crashed at 120kph and decided to do fighter. the shop he took it to was lazy and expencive, so it was offered to us







and possible idea of tail

as for colours i think i will go for bmw marakesh brown(tank and tail) and bright green wheels
any tip and advice welcomed
