    Well I dont consider it a toy,but sometimes it feels like one. I work in construction so it all depends on where I am and whats going on. But I'd rather ride it then drive a 4 wheeler to work or anywhere for that matter.I'm also in upstate NY so Nov. to March are pretty much void. I dont want to be a weekend rider but sometimes theres no choice.

      In the north, a bike is totally impractical for transportation about 6 months out of the year. Mine is a toy with some utility. When I get my next bike, it will be strictly a track toy, but I intend to keep the Kat for the street, where it will be a 2nd, but much more fun to use, vehicle.

        +3 for the therapy, i consider mine a toy but use it as a daily commuter(weather permitting). but mostly its for throttle therapy

              My kat is all of the above..

              its as much of a mode of transportation as it is a toy, also a means of release from everyday BS we all put up with, a means for a weekend warrior jaunt on a saturday afternoon, hell riding bikes is just a way of life period.

                    +4 When the weather is nice I actually wish my commute was longer.

                    P.S. The temptation to keep on going when I get to work is hard to overcome.

                      My bike is a toy! well, a toy to blast on the way to work. I have a daily driver built for stereo competition... 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe. I have a toy car for those pissed off days and grudge nights at the drag strip... 1990 Honda Crx w D16z6 Swap (getting ready for Forced Induction). and of course, my 2000 Kat 600 for nights out after a long day at work.

                      so, i drive all of these for fun. crappy days, i steal my gfs Saturn...

                          Is it a toy??

                          Depends who you ask. I say it is a part of life. Ask the wife and you will get a different answer.

                            My Kat is one of my many toys. I try to ride it as much as I can for the 6 months that I have to ride, but the pocket bike and dirt bike are fun too. I have a Polaris Xedge 800 snowmobile to keep me occupied all winter, thank god I sold the seadoo now that was a money pit.

                                Daily rider. Toy/Therapy/reliable "old truck".
                                I had a 1958 Dodge, I built the 440, put 4 wheel discs on it...It was fast!
                                I had a 1987 CRX. I tweaked it. It was uglier than a hat full of as-holes, but it spanked every civic festooned with wings, a fart can exhaust, and wheels.
                                I got tired of both cars. Sold both of them within a week, bought the Kat as a "learner".
                                A year later, (and lots of scrapes and scratches) I still have only the Kat. I love it! In the rain, cold, sunshine. How else can a ride to work make you excited?
