My daily driver is a '96 Bandit 600, a close cousin of the Katana which
you will notice is older than 10 years. I haven't noticed any trouble
getting parts. Then again, it doesn't need parts very often. The
Katana is a quite popular and has been on the market forever, so I'd
consider it a better-than-average bet from the perspective of parts
availability.
