The GSX 1100S Katana was by no means all smart suit and no substance; far from it. Underneath the radical looks there lurked a very fine motorcycle, directly developed from worthy generations of the GS model. In fact the GSX 1100S was no more than a lightly tweaked and tarted GSX 1100E, with all the rumbling reliability this implies.
