Big Kat diary!
Kawasaki made one with 1300cc, Honda made one with 1000cc. Yamaha and Suzuki took the sensible path and never built a six cylinder superbike. Benelli even did one with 750cc…
Sensible? Pah! There are lots of ‘sensible’ bikes out there and I, for one, see bikes as a powerful means of expression, so let’s have a six cylinder Suzuki, and let’s make it a big ’un. How about a quad-cam 1600cc Mutha... with fuel injection!
To be honest I’ve had the six for around 20 years now and I’ve had lots of fun watching people’s reactions when they do the neck wrench double take and then try to understand how, when, where, and possibly even why. But time marches on and I eventually came to terms with the realisation that my original decision to build it as an EZ (twin shocks, big headlight, conventional) was flawed. But the decision was as clear as Mother Teresa’s conscience.
