  • New rider in Maryland

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I pick up my 2006 Katana 600cc next week. It was a tough decision since I learned how to ride about ten years ago on my friend's GSXR 750, I then went on to buy a 250 cc Ninja (was smart enough to start small). I got the Kat after I had decided to buy a new 650R but finally decided on a Kat since they were on sale $1,000 off of MSRP at the local dealership. It was the best bang for the buck as far as new bikes go. I'm sure I'll enjoy it as long as I can endure the friendly jokes from two of my co-workers, one is a Busa rider. If anyone is near Aberdeen, MD let me know when and where you ride.

    Welcome to KR. Don't worry bout the co-workers. They have no clue why people love the katana so much. Welcome to KR. And remember any fool can race stop light to stop light.

      Welcome to KR! Just tell your co-workers they are not Ben Spies so just chill out.

        You're the one who has to be happy with your ride. The first day I rolled up on my Kat at work, I got the whole 'Kanatuna' bit from my co-workers too. Not everyone's into speed. For those days I am, I jump on my ZX, but when I'm more subdued, the Kat fits the ticket. It's well-balanced. handles well, has enough power and fits most people like a glove. Someone here said it best a couple of weeks back when they said the Katana is the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. It does it all pretty well.

        Welcome to KR and ride safe!
