    Bought a new '86 750 in 1986 in Hampton, New Hampshire. Dave Sadowski was a mechanic at the shop and got the bike ready for pick up. He was a real nice guy and fantastic rider. Knew him several years. All these racers were excellent to learn from. Talented.

    Here in NZ (and Aussie) production racing, and production endurance racing, was really big in the 70s and 80s, so big that Suzuki HQ built a special version of the Katana (The real one, not the sticker on a GSX600) to beat the Honda CB1100R, which was looking to dominate proddy racing. The E27-spec GSX1100SXZ "Wire-Wheeler" was fitted with light weight wire wheels, upgraded carbs, brakes, clutch, exhaust, Yoshimura Cams, because they had to be raced stock. Then things started to get expensive for the average racer to compete, new rules and regs pushed the cost of racing bikes through the roof, different classes disappeared.

    I love the oil cooled era Suzukis. Still ride '91 750 with 1340cc at the track and a '91 1100 on street. Katana 600, before the redesign fairings, look fantastic

    Hello Sir. This video brings back a lot of memories of those years. I was a club racer at the time and worked as an official in the southeast. If you are still monitoring this channel I have a offer for someone wanting to look thru some old vhs tapes. My father who is passed away a fee years taped many years of AMA and grand prix races which aired in the US. I am looking for a new owner for these tapes or I will need to trash them. Thank you

    It's really fun seeing the 600 katana's being raced like that since I do the same with my 750 katana. I get plenty of looks and comments saying it's nice seeing an older heavier bike keeping up with the faster groups. 6:40
