98Kat 600 vs. 02Kat 750

I have a Kat 98 600. Somene is selling a 2002 Kat 750. Is it much of a difference or let's say wise if I buy the 750 and sell my 98? Thanks

If you're looking for more power, and you can recoup most of the money spent on the 750 by selling the 600, I say go for it! From what I read, there are pretty minor differences between the two...like you sit more upright on a 750. I think I read that somewhere, but I could be wrong.

The 750 has more touring oriented ergonomics. It has a tiny bit more power, and a tiny bit more torque. I rode my roommate's 02 750 back to back with my 93 600 and came away from from it extremely underwhelmed. It just felt less fun, and more like just transportation. The bars were so freaking high I felt like I was sitting in an office chair.

Ergonomics wise, you can make your 600 into the 750. Power wise, as was mentioned it's only a little bit more. I wouldn't go through the hassle of buying and registering one and selling the other, just to gain that little bit. If my math is correct, the engine is only a 12% increase in displacement.

I would just modify what you have now to your preference. Or get an entirely different bike.
