And it’s no surprise the original Gixxer sold like hotcakes: the GSX-R 750 was the very first mass-produced race-replica of the modern era, a truly affordable bike…
Presumed abandoned in a rental storage locker, this ’82 Katana 1000 comes to light courtesy of the winning bidder of the unit at auction.
