I sold my 750 1989 Katana (24000 miles) after riding it for a month last year, for a newer 1996 Katana 600cc (4000 miles). The old one had a few problems such as oil leak at couple of places, tires needed replacement, brake pad, carbs etc and the mechanic offered to buy it and sold me the new one for the nearly the cost of the repairs.
The 600 is definitely lighter and a lot of fun for local riding. But at higher speeds (> 60 mph), I feel uncomfortable and the wind seems to push it around. I have gone on local highways but not on interstate yet. I am planning to use it as a commuter bike to work and save on gas. I am getting 40 mpg.
The bike fell down today after parking it, the side stand seems not very solid/stable. The windshield broke and I ordered a replacement from ebay for $49.99. where can I find a screw driver to fix the windshield??
Thanks
