hey all, ive had a couple crotch rockets (cbr600 and fzr600) back in the mid 90's. as i got older and moving on i go rid of them before i killed myself. about last summer the bug bit me again. id like to think im out of the daredevil stage of my life and read that katanas are a good mix between sporty and ride comfort.
i went and bought a 1991 600 kat. she needs some tlc for sure. tank has a nice dent, and a few little things like a little cleaning, some paint, headlight and signal switches, a battery, handgrips.
everything felt good and solid, didnt notice any play in anything, has fresh rubber on it. 24000 miles. dont know if that is high or not. only paid 400 bucks for the beast. i thought it was a decent buy. unfortunatly i couldnt ride it since its about 20 degrees and a foot of snow on the ground. the battery was dead and the guy had no way of starting it but gave me his word that it starts and runs fine. he seemed pretty trustworthy plus i now know where he lives! hope i dont get burned!!! i have several ideas for this bike and i am sure i will be asking the pro's on this board from time to time. cant wait till spring!!
