Japan. Creators of one of the most formidable edged weapons in history. The Katana. Sometimes called 'Samurai Sword'.
This is an old Katana I am trying to restore.
It has a very heavy Damascas Steel style of blade which means a very heavy brass Tsuba to counter the weight.

So what has any of this got to do with bikes ... ?

Well another fine piece of engineering originating in Japan is the

Suzuki GSXR1100L. The slabsided Gixxer guaranteed to thrill

and cure all forms of constipation.

  
     
             
You have to ride it, to believe it.
