I'm 62 and until recently rode a Honda VT500.
Most of my riding would be local trips with some highway miles at perhaps 65-70 mph and with luck maybe one longer trip a year. My wife has no interest in motorcycling so I ride solo. I'm 6'0 and about 185.
Not interested in wheelies, stoppies, or warp speed. I'm sure the Katana 600 has much more than adequate power for my needs.
I've read that the Katana is considered one of the more comfortable sport bikes and would welcome comments from other riders in my age bracket - if there are any on this forum - as to rider comfort.
I've been looking at the DL650 but find the Katana visually more appealing.
I would like to add hard luggage but the Givi website does not show brackets for the newer Katanas - might anyone know of some other brand that offers luggage for the Katana?
Thanks and ride safe.
