Does it belong as part of the katriders.com main discussion areas?

i voted yes. Although I don't expect that it would be a busy section of the forum. Arguments can be made (and have) for both sides of the fence. At least if its a section on its own some people that are not interested in the bike will have the option to ignore a complete area as opposed to having to filter through the katana information

I didn't vote because I'm mearly a spectator here....

BUT, I do have an opinion....and as the Katana (yes, I know it isn't a Katana) has undergone many changes, this really is just another one...so yes, you should include it.

[Jax]

It's a Bandit with full fairings...but still badged as a GSXF so it's a Katana...

[allblackkat]

this is Katriders.com by name but more or less GSXF-riders in spirit... am I wrong in assuming that?

Not that the majority of newbie riders who buy 650's will know that this site exists, but if they do come here... no one will say you're bike isn't welcome... Most likely they'll say you fit in just like everyone else on bikes that aren't Katanas....

even me with my piano fits in here....

I agree that all bikes are welcome.. I support including the GSX650F because we need to embrace the new 650 owners.. We have more to offer than just our knowledge.
I think it's better to welcome them here then ask them to swim in the deeper pool of Maximum Suzuki or similar..

The poll runs until 10/26. Someone remind me about it to check the results in case I forget

I say YES, if it isn't a "true" kat, then it sure is close enough.

What can you say? It is a Katana if not in name, in spirit.

[blkpitbull]

voted, add it already. Im ready for the first person to get one, so they can give a good review and good pics!!

[paradoxmd]

Votey votey.

[bruisa15]

voted, I say add it, as my GSX750F '98+ is officially not a Kat either. Only you guys in north america call it a katana, so for the purposes of the world wide web, it should be allowed in

[allblackkat]

so for the purposes of the world wide web, it should be allowed in

That's the kicker.... I hope that simplifies the whole entire argument...

I agree with you. Add it already.
