Every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

power corrupts the mind...

once you make the jump to a bigger engine, you fall in love with the easy passing capabilities without having to downshift...

[Trackerrrr]

I think about it everytime my Kat acts up. Then I think about payments and increased insurance. Then I love my old Kat again and fix it.

I bought my bike for $700, and for that price its been a good bike. But it is an '89 750 and has just shy of 30k miles. It seems like I am always working on it. Its my first bike, and I have definitely learned a lot from it. But I think it is about time to upgrade, prolly the end of the season when prices drop. I have been looking at the SV1000 which I have been a big fan of so far. So we'll see come winter time

[cybrnathan]

I would love a bike that's more comfortable to ride. The Kat is more comfortable than a lot of other bikes with a sportsbike physique, but I want something that I can go a couple hundred miles in reasonable comfort. I don't want a cruiser, but if I had the means I'd love a Moto Guzzi Griso 1100.

[40something]

I think about something new probably about once a week. Then I look at the Kat with all the mods, accessories and comfort for when I tour and realize "What's the point".

If I do decide to change bikes it will probably be to go back to a dual sport which are my first love in bikes. I am not a horsepower junkie anymore. Rideability is where it is at for me.

[STULER]

all the time until my friends tell me what they pay for insurance on thier SS bikes

and plus, I always think about getting another bike. i am also 155lbs but it sounds to me like you are making any excuse you can to get another bike. THats what i do. I just learn to be content with what I have. My kat is beautiful and I wouldnt trade it for anything

[ATOMonkey]

I'm only 5'7" and 150 so I feel pretty comfy on an SS bike. I feel like a **** ant on an elepahnt riding the 750 Kat some times.

I'd also like to have the all out performance of an SS. I'd like to have a cruiser too, just to have different riding experiences.

[ferrucci86]

i think about it, then i think about the insurance, the risk of wanting to go faster , and then try to wheelie and then where to buy a casket.... opps i mean..........

[Shifty]

Yep in the perfect world I'd have a Kat for daily riding, a Monster for weekends, and a Sprint ST for touring.

[scottynoface]

Every day. My bike's still too much for me and I already want a liter. That's just the way it goes man.

[RossW]

Every couple days. I would love a classic triumph. There was also a 2004 speed triple for sale locally for like $2400 because it had been dropped (all fairing damage) which tempted me for a time. But then I think of all the time and money I've put into my kat and I just can't bring myself to replace her (I also couldn't afford to).

[scottynoface]

i think about it, then i think about the insurance

Thats what I dont understand. I guess I'm the exception to the rule but my insurance on the 636 is a bit cheaper than the Katana.

1993 Katana 600 - $232/yr
2003 636 - $210/yr

I only have liability, so I guess I got a discount for not wrapping myself around a tree.

[Silence]

Just curious.....but why would you want more power when you've never cracked it past 6500???? Kats don't come alive til then.

I'm afriad of ruining the engine and cant afford to suck so much gas

[scottynoface]

I'm afriad of ruining the engine

Why? It has a rev limiter for a reason...
