Hmmm , it's a '93 , though . A NEW 600SS will tear up a Katana .... Take it for a spin .

If it was a GSXR I would be all over it myself, But I am not a big fan of the Ninjas myself. But that is just my thoughts.

What Ninja does he have, the 600R or ZX-6? I think they were still producing the 600R back then. I'd say neither would be faster than your Kat because the 600R is older tech and the ZX-6s back then were almost as heavy as your 750.

If you are happy with your bike why trade unless you are getting something substantive with a change. Although modern 600 SS bikes are faster and more nimble, in terms of quarter mile speed they're only 10% faster than your 750. For that extra 10% you give up comfort, some reliability and riding stability. In other words, improved track performance over everyday riding. If you want track worthiness then get the Ninja. However, the Katana really shines in terms of practicality so learn to appreciate it for what it is.

Welcome to KR from East Texas and hope the forum can help in your growth with your bike

and your insurance will jump up too.

Ask yourself these questions:

If the Ninja is the more-desirable bike, why does he want to trade for yours?
Does the Kat do everything you want & are you happy with it?
What possible mechanical or frame damages does the Ninja have that your Kat doesn't (or visa-versa)?
What's the difference in used values (check nbb.com and nada.com)?
How well does each bike age by comparison? Kats are generally far more bullet-proof in my experience, with lower maintenance costs and longer life-expectancies.
What's the mileage differences between them.
Is this guy actually a close friend, or just someone who you met?
Are you sure that his title is free & clear? Is it possible that there is a mechanics lien or other debt associated with it?

If he's a close friend, you could trade bikes for an afternoon of riding and then make your call... but personally, I'd be really suspicious of anyone who is trying to talk me into trading my bike for theirs when I'm not already trying to sell it... unless they can show really valid reasons -- in which case, they could do what most people do and sell theirs, then go buy another like mine.
