I should have kept this one. Can you believe that I only paid $1150.00 for this bike in 1991. I thought I made quite a deal when I sold it a year later for $2300.00. In retrospect, the best deal I could have made was just to keep it!!! All those stories of soft cams and ticking noises got the best of me. Too bad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CMRJkMHaWtc/RgxyHxcrSGI/AAAAAAAAAU8/r1ND6c-cSHE/s1600-h/scan0001.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047534760233748578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CMRJkMHaWtc/RgxyHxcrSGI/AAAAAAAAAU8/r1ND6c-cSHE/s320/scan0001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Under the runway in Madeira, Portugal.

Katana 1100. This is the bike I rode to Sturgis (bike rally) on. It didn't blend in with the Harleys too well. It was a good bike, but it went through chain and sprockets like mad.
