Cycle World/March Katana writeup

[birdmove]

Just was looking through the March 2006 Cycle World magazine. I grabbed it to read a test ride of the new Kawasaki 650R Ninja, and there on page 36 is a "quick ride" article on the 750 Katana by Don Cannet.Its a really good writeup too.Reinforces my possible plan of grabbing a new, leftove 2005 Katana at a nearby dealer for $5999.00 plus bs fees.And though I haven't ridden a 750 Kat, I have taken out 3-4 600 Kats I looked at a couple of years ago.One was a beater, so I threw that out.The others were fun.So, I figure the 75o would be that much more fun.Besides, I am buying a bike that can take two-up trips in relative comfort, and still be a sporty machine.
Thanks to Cycle World for writing about a real world roadster that isn't the absolute cutting edge sportsbike, but that is still a great ride for 95% of us.

I dig my 750. It was my first street bike and I am glad I bought it. I wanted something sporty yet comfortable to ride everyday and ride a long time. The Kat fits the bill!!

I dont really care for cycle world much, their writers just dont do it for me, but I may have to pick up this issue to check it out and read it for myself..

Thanks

Its a short article-three columns and two photos of a nice looking red Katana.

Gonna have to check it out. Motorcyclist did an article about low-tech bikes about 2 or 3 years ago. Good article comparing the Kat and two other bikes.

Cool its about time a rag said something good about the Kat. Cancelled my sub to Motorcyclist, I didnt like the jellybean comment!

Rider magazine is supposed to branch off a new 'Sport-Tour Rider' magazine this year and they say they'll have some articles that include the Katana in it. We'll see.
