Hi there,looking for input

[6th-speed]

Very nice board and seems people are friendly
I'm looking for a bike,taking into the consideration a Katana (would prefer 750 over 600 but not sure if extra 150 cc it matters in this application).
I don't want a crotch rocket (R6,CBR etc...),while they are amazing machines you can't really take them for a long ride with 2 people
I was looking at Honda 599,Yamaha FZ6 and I have to say the cheapest of them Katana.
Money is the issue and I don't want to exceed $4000 by much and I need to make sure the insurance fits my budget.
I was looking for some performance data (including 1/4 times and accelaration,braking,hp etc...) on Katana but didn't came out with anything valuable,anything would be appreaciated.
Thank you very much and there is a chance I will become one of you

Thank you,I will check tommorow,do you guys go into the track to run a 1/4 mile ?
I understand this bike is not trully designed with that in mind but I'm very interested.
I'm more of a car guy but it's the wonderfull memories of motorcycle rides from the past that tell me "BUY A MOTORCYCLE WHILE YOU CAN!"

750 will definately give you a bit more ooomph when it comes to 2 up riding, and it has adjustable dampening in the back on the 98+ models.

it will do the 11's

for two-up, you will appreciate the full fairing compared to the other bikes....the 599 Hornet is WAY overpriced.

Your criteria fits the Kat 750 to a tee

Welcome to KatRiders 6th-speed.
I agree with the others that the 750 Kat sounds like the bike you would want for two-up riding.
