  • Just bought a dead Kat

    Hey all...

    Been without a bike since job (and bike) loss in '14. Gainfully employed for a year now and decided to pull the trigger on a ride that ive always wanted, the katana.

    It's an 05 600, blue and white. Only 10 k on the bike but previous owner let it get low on oil, and locked it up (at 5mph luckily).

    Picked it up for $500, worst case I can pick up a salvage yard motor for $350. Gonna pull it apart, see if I can get lucky with a crank and bearings..

    Preve bikes...06 650 ninja, 99 r6 streetfighter (insurance auction), and a lil klx250sf

    Hope to share pics of the build ..and will be looking around here for ideas and inspiration.

    Welcome, and been there for job loss.
    My Kat was only $420 complete with running engine, so I got you beat. Ha!

              Welcome to the world of the never ending project!

              You guys all pay too much though, but of course the OP's is 10 years newer than my $300 Kat. All I needed to get it running and rolling down the road was a new side stand switch. Clearly not all I did before riding it more than 1/4 mile, but it was running and movine for $310. Have to love Ebay!
