  • New addition for the man cave

    It's good to see a site with so much useful information. I have been riding my Suzuki Boulevard C50C for the last few seasons, but year in year out I have been craving the feeling you get with a street bike. The wife finally broke down and let me pick up a 2006 Katana 600 with 4200 miles.

    Got a decent price on the bike. $3000 out the door with taxes. I love having the choice to ride what I want now. It surprised me how comfortable these bikes are. I took it on a 2 hour ride and felt great afterwards except for the wrists being a little sore.

    Looking forward to keeping up with everyone.

          I'm with you -- I had a pocket rocket Triumph 600tt and an old BMW cruiser -- my son-in-law had an m80 -- fun to go on a ride and just swap off -- or just get on the one that fits your mood -- sold my two for a kat and haven't been disappointed

            Black and Silver - That is the only part that hurts, it looks great....but I am a die-hard Broncos fan. Maybe time for a blue/orange paint job?

            I am having so much fun with my Kat that I feel like I am going to be neglecting my Boulevard for awhile. Maybe I can convince the wife to learn how to ride?

              Welcome...I came off a Suzuki Marauder and onto an 06 Kat exactly like the one you pictured...I bet you spend more time on the Kat.

                There's your problem
                90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

                    Having both a cruiser and a sportier bike absolutely ROCKS.

                    Im lucky enough to have a VL1500 all dressed out as well as a 750 Kat, i try to show them both equal love, but I do tend to favor the Kat, especially now that my girl bought her own motorcycle.
