Yes. The first model was more sport than touring. Lightest, fastest and best handling. Also the best looking! It was all down hill from there.    :biggrin:

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Wot Dave said  :good2:. The 83 is a bit of typo weirdness. There were a lot of Katanas listed as 82, but were actually 80 & 81 models as well.

So they are actually 84's? I know that the early models were more sporty, I have one  :sarcastic: I was just confused because I didn't think any FJ's were actually made in 83.
