For sale is a 1982 GS1000SZ Katana out of my personal collection! I have over $20K into this bike which I understand is my loss and the next owner's gain. This bike is beyond showroom/museum quality. This bike is a Rich James (one the best Suzuki GS/Katana specialist in the country) frame up OEM nut & bolt full restoration. It was going to be put in the motorcycle museum, but things change. Only using Suzuki OEM parts! Full custom paint by one of the best in the northeast using OEM Suzuki 13L paint code. This bike's paint is better than the factory/showroom! It is one of the best paint jobs I have ever owned and seen, virtually flawless! Polished engine cover, rear sprocket hub, handles, carburetor covers and bowls, front forks and rims! I'm sure I have forgotten and left a few things out, but you can see for yourself. She is a total eye stopping Show piece! Everything has been done on this beautiful piece of history. She is rolling on a Brand-new zero miles set of Mitchells! The Bike runs and rides and everything works as it should! If you have any questions or offers, send a message with you contact information and I will call or message you whichever you prefer! 

Motivated seller would like to find this beautiful piece of History a new home! Please feel free to make a reasonable offer!
