    Nope, not my first bike.
    Just the first time I join a forum like this.
    Looks like a very nice place to find information and share experiences.

    I'm "stepping down" (like some of my friends says) from an '83 Magna V65 (1100cc) to a '97 Kat 600. I just wanted a bike to commute to Malibu and back home to Venice Beach, and I feel the Kat it's just perfect for the job.

    I have owned a few bikes: a Honda CBX250, a couple of EX500, a Yamaha SecaII, the Magna and now, the Kat6.

    I found this bike a month ago sitting at a Honda dealer with less than 900 miles on it! So basicaly it's brand new. The dealer gave me the bike completly serviced for less than $3k. Probably I have the cleanest first generation Katana 600 in the world!

    I think for now, I'm gonna keep the bike stock.

    Thanks.

            That is a great find. The only other way to get something like that is to have Special K make you one.

                      if you didn't know by now...that is called Pharoh Gold

                      AWESOME example....welcome, but never say never to modding...eventually almost everyone personalizes their Kat...but you have a unique one already!

                              Thanks to everybody. I was thinking to post the question about the color's "name". Thanks again.
