Quick history:
March 23 I bought a non-running 1998 Kat for 1600.00. Got it running and it looked exc, in it for about $1900.00 total, tax,parts and all. I LOVED the power and look of it. Gave me some back ache, decided to play the trade game and see what I ended up with and try to make some $$$. Traded it and some cash for a 2003 VSTAR 1100 this past Thursday. Yesterday I was offered a 2007 FZ6 even up for it. I'm in the VSTAR for $3100.00 total. I rode the FZ6 and it felt like an updated Kat. Straighter up riding postion, which works well for my bad back (I'm 49 years old) and in line 4 cyl with a red line at 14,000 RPM, and only wieghs 410 lb.'s, so you know THAT was fun !!! The "dash" has an LCD speedometer, clock, temp gauge, really cool.
Problem is, I also have a guy with a 2004 Harley Sportster that wants to trade, so I'm going to see it today. I didn't think I'd like any sport bike better than I liked the Kat, but with the riding postition with the FZ6, and about the same engine, I liked it better than the Kat, except for looks. My Kat was red and was beautifull !
So, I'll tell the Harley owner I want his bike and $1,000.00 to make the deal, otherwise I'll be an FZ6 owner. It doesn't look as good as the Kat, but it'll be easier on the back and has a little more power.
It's all good....ride safe !
