Hi! I'm new to the forum. I ride a 2002 Katana 600 with chunky dual-sport tires. This is my primary vehicle for daily riding, as well as my tourer. My brother and dad ride V-stroms, and for the most part, my Kat keeps up with them on the trails (I have 10 years of off road experience, which helps).
I love most of the stock options for the Katana. I am 6'3" about 220 lbs. The only mods I have done, are switching the clips ons for touring bars (1" risers, small curve on the bars), fabricating my own touring windscreen ($5 of plexi glass) and adding small saddle bags.
We recently did a 4 day, 1200 mile touring trip through rain, snow, cold and wind about a month ago all through Arizona and Utah. Posting pics here seems to be a pain. If anyone knows an easier way than uploading them somewhere else and posting a link, let me know.
