Unless you are Matt Mladin or Vale, it's really doubtful you are riding beyond the Kat's limits.

Agreed, everyday riders are not going to test the limits of a Kat. They can be ridden alot faster than most people are capable of.

A friend of mine told me the modern 600's are twitchy and unstable until you hit 30 40 mph. But, my Kat in comparision is long and comfortable. Kat is slower, but better to learn on. 750 would be a good bike. I would try to ride a modern 600 and or a kat to get a feel.

I have an 03 gixxer 600 and came from a 600 kat. The gixxer seems even better at slower speeds because its lighter.
