New guy in Kansas City KS

[KnightRider]

I will be buying a 1998 GSX600F Katana very soon. I am just awaiting the loan to process. It is blue with a couple mods....but has some road ras due the previous owner. It has a Yoshi pipe new Michelin Battlaxe tires, pads and such.

So I will fill you in when I get it.

Thanks Hope to learn lots more bout my bike.

Welcome!

Road Rash can be fixed pretty easy as long as it is not cracked all the way through.

Lots of info here. Great people. Welcome to KR!

Thanks for the welcome guys n gals. Can't wait to get on that bike. I feel it will be a great buy. I had a 1989 Kawasaki Ninja 600R.....good learner bike, but wanted something better looking and a little updated. I like how the Katana's look like baby busa's.

Hopefully I can provide info too...I am a car nut, and now bikes have my attention....so we'll see whats next.

Anyone know of any good online loan places? Just need $2500. I'm worried my bank will be pricks and say no.

My credit isn't bad, but its not outstanding. Probably around 575-600pts.

Thanks again

Have you tried a credit union?
You might even be better off with a newer bike. It is usually easier to get money on a later model because the banks do not view it as as big of a risk as an older model. Your payment will not be much higher.......I don't know your entire situation, but also a lower payment may be in order with a newer ride too because you can get a longer term, also a lower rate...good luck though...

[KnightRider]

Well I still haven't heard through my bank yet. If I don't get financed through them....I'll check a credit union. Just like a car though....my insurance will be sky high with full coverage on a new bike...that was my only worry going new. Plus, I know the condition of the Kat I want to buy, vs buying used from someone else.

Sigh. I want the darn Kat so bad. I can taste it. (really I can, I licked it to prove I wanted it) j/k....okay maybe not
