Hey all. I've been lurking for a couple of days, reading up on the kat 600. I'm planning to pick one up in a few weeks.
I've been riding since 2006 or so when I bought my EX500. I took the EX to the track a handful of times, then bought a race-prepped Honda F2, and rode that for a year (kept the EX for street riding). In 2009, I sold the F2 (wedding/honeymoon), and bought a track-prepped 600RR a few months later. I did trackdays and raced the 600RR for 2 or 3 years, selling the EX along the way to fund my racing habit.
The 600RR was sold in November (I out-paced my budget!), and for the last few months, the only bike I own has been my 2000 Honda XR100, set up for kart-track racing with the Ohio Mini Roadracing League.
Anyway, I've been itching to get a 'big' bike again, and I found a running Katana for $500. Haven't picked it up yet, but I got the wife's "approval" to spend the money, so it's basically mine.
Other than bikes, I like my dogs, working out, and making poor decisions under the influence of a strong IPA.
I apologize in advance for asking basic questions that veteran katana owners surely find elementary. I'm sincerely trying to use the search function to its fullest.
