Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to pick up a first bike.I just finished the MSF course this weekend so I'm really going to start looking into buying a bike for sale locally, and theres one at a dealer close to my house. Its a 96 Katana, about 20k. Looks really clean, I've seen it once. He's asking around $2300 which I think is a little much but I can work on that if I decide to get it.
My question is, how much better off would I be looking for a newer bike? I want to spend around $2600 tops, but itd be awesome If i could find a cheaper deal. Are there any major differences between the 96 and the 98+ bodystyle bikes besides bodystyle?
I think I actually prefer the latter bodystyle, but if It's considerably slower or heavier or whatever than the newer ones then I'd rather wait for something else.
Thanks
