Hi, I'm new to the forums here.
I just took the msf class and recently got my motorcycle endorsement. I've never really ridden a motorcycle before just mopeds and 4 wheelers. I found a good deal on a 96 suzuki gsx600f katana. I've read mixed reviews about them being a descent starter bike. I know they are a little heavier than others in the same class. I have good self control, and do not have any intensions of going fast and being stupid on it. I'm 6'1", 160lbs, so I think I'll be able to sit on it fine, but I know controlling the extra weight could be an issue.
I just want something fairly reliable, good on gas, and has enough horse power to get out of people's way. Does anyone have any input about this bike as a starter bike?
Thanks,
Jeff
