I've had my bike for a couple of months already, but did not have chance to ride it. I live in Minnesota. This weekend it was about 40 and I took her out for a little rip. First off I used to have a ZX7, and a CBR 929. I stopped riding for a while, and decided to ride again. The Kat was the right bike for the right price.
Anyhow here's a couple first impressions... First, I think it's a lot faster than I expected. It's FAST!! I think it felt faster than my buddies SV650, but then again I have not riden that one in a long time. The engine sort of stuck untill it was fully warmed up, but then it ripped. Second, at lower speeds the steering felt like it easily pulled to the left and right. Like it did not want to stay in the center. Not sure if it was just me, or maybe it's becuase I have not been on a bike for while. But it seemed like it flopped back and fourth. The clutch felt nice and tight...I loved the way it shifted tight and smooth.
Anyhow after my short ride I'm really excited for the warm weather to come. We have nice bikes, that's for sure.
