Alright first of all, let me start by introducing myself. I'm jacob. There, now that thats done, lets move on.
I've been riding a Honda Ascot 500 for about 6 months and I am extremely comfortable on a motorcycle now. I would like to move up to something bigger, and I've been seriously considering a katana because I hear they are much more comfortable then other sportbikes (like the cbr600, which is what I wanted). I'm about 6'2 180lbs. Would I have trouble with a 1991 katana 750? I hear they weigh a lot and make maneuvering at low speeds extremely difficult/impossible. I personally want to take a lot of trips on it so I think the added weight would mean better highway riding.
So, is the katana 750 really THAT heavy of a bike? I mean, I'm pretty strong, I think I could handle it, but I really don't know.
Thanks,
Jacob.
