I spent about 2 hours last night browsing this forum and reading a lot of posts and I think you guys have a great community here. I've never rode a motorcycle before but I've been thinking about getting one for a couple of years now. After reading so much last night, I've been convinced that the Katana is the right bike for me.
My question... Should I get the 600 or 750???
Let me give you some information to go on... I'm 31 years old... I've owned a lot of quick cars in my days and I've always been a fan of drag racing. I love the feeling of quick acceleration. I know a lot of you advise on getting the GS500 for a first bike but I really love the way the Katana's look. Anyways, I feel that if I'm going to be spending this much money, and this will probably be the only bike I will ever own, I want to get a bran new one, and probably a 750, since I'm already spending the money. I've owned high 12 second cars in the past so I'm well aware of being careful and keeping power under control. And I will probably never even crack the throttle wide open (maybe), but I just love the feeling of having the power and knowing that it's there to use if I want...
I looked around google for a bit trying to find quarter mile times on both of these but all I found was one for the 750, which is 11.90's, but I'm not sure if this information is correct... Could someone tell me what the quarter mile times for the 600 and 750 really are??
Also, after reading MANY posts about this, I've been swayed to take the rider's course before I even start riding.
Thanks in advance!!
