Hi everyone.
My name is Adam and it looks like I will soon be the owner of a 2000 Katana 600. I just sold my Ninja 250, and I am looking to get into something for some light touring and commuting to work. My Ninja did a great job except it was a bit buzzy and revving high on highway trips (70-75mph). I have found what seems to be a good deal on a blue katana 600, so I have been using your forum to read up on them.
I was considering an older Honda F3 or F4 along with the Suzuki SV650S, but this Kat seems too good to pass up. I was a bit apprehensive about its 'portly' status.. not just compared to my 250, but other sport bikes.. except teh Yamaha YZF600R.. anyway.. I sat on it and it felt pretty comfortable. The bike is pretty much stock, and maybe down the road a slip on will find its way on.. so aside from light cosmetic upgrades, I am hoping that it will serve me well.
One thing that I really like about it is that it has a center stand.. something I loved on my 250.
Has anyone ever gone from a Ninja 250 to a Kat on here? What were your impressions?
I'm looking forward to learning and contributing on here.
