Kat Set To Purr At 4-Hour!

Oh yes! Suzuki GB is taking the plunge to build a very special race bike for the CMM-backed 4-Hour Endurance Legends event.

Suzuki GB is pulling out all the stops to make this coming Motorcycle Live event another corker on the classic front.

Take a look at this lovely artist’s impression of one very special Katana race bike and drool! Last year Suzuki GB did a full restoration of a 1985 Suzuki GSX-R750F, which was ridden last month by yours truly in this, ’ere magazine, while the year before they put together a TL1000S V-twin from parts to showcase their Vintage Parts Programme, but this year Suzuki GB is really doing the business.

On their stand, throughout the duration of the Birmingham NEC-based show, the slightly bulky legend that is Nathan Colombi and Team Classic Suzuki will be putting together their latest race bike on the Suzuki stand which will be taking part in the Classic Bike Trackdays Endurance Legends event over May 6-7, 2017!

Before that, November 19-27 will see this amazing machine come together: a Suzuki GSX1100 SD Katana, which will be campaigned by some very famous names at next year’s 4-Hour Endurance event. Backed by Suzuki’s Vintage Parts Programme, the team will field a three-rider line-up that they hope will take them to glory in the 4-Hour race, on-board the hand-built GSX1100 SD-engined machine.
