  • 98+ Kat Length

    Is it just me or is the 98+ kat longer than most other sport bikes. I know ours are sport touring so thats probably why. It just seems to have different responses than my other bikes. If I shifted hard from 1st to 2nd with my ther bike i would bring the front tire up, with this on it roasts the tire. Seems like length may be attributed to this. Thanks guys

    all the kats are a wee bit longer then other sportbikes. My 1100 is about 8 inches longer than a gsxr of the same year.
    I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

      Its also not designed to bring up the front wheel. Not due to length, but just engine power and weight issues.

        The Kat is a heavy, long monster. Thats why they ride so well.

            And Im okay with that. I bought this bike with a sport-cruiser in mind. Im just used to a ninja so there were a few differences I wasnt aware of. It doesnt change how I feel about the bike though. Love it.

                Thats one of the reasons why I bought her . i'm a tall guy and don't really feel comfertable on smaller bikes
