  • hello

    I am new the Katana. I had a 2004 SV650S for about 6 months and had to sell it to get a house. I'd been having the urge to ride again and wanted something inexpensive, so my wife picked out a used 2002 Katana 600, which we just got yesterday. I was a little skeptical about buying it since I had heard so many other people claim the Kat to be such an awful bike, but I am really quite pelased with the bike. Of course I've only put about 70 miles on it so far, but I find it enjoyable to ride. I joined here in hopes of finding more information about my new purchase. So, I'll be browsing the board here searching for information.

            Actually, this is going to be her bike at some point. First we gotta get her through the MSF course though.

                Congrats on the purchase. A lot of people put the Kat down because they either don't know much about it, or are only out to impress others with there SS bikes.

                      I'll work on getting some better pics of the Kat at some point.

                      and, FYI, I had planned on buying a bike that wasn't yellow this time, but my wife picked it out. It's what she wants, and it'll be her bike eventually.

                            I'm retarded... I rolled it out of the garage and put it on it's side stand as I do every morning I ride it to work (I wasn't going to work today, was going on a memorial ride for a recently passed coworker). I knew this would happen eventually, since the driveway is slightly angled. Anyway, right after starting the bike I turned around to walk back into the garage to get my helmet, jacket and gloves, then I heard the bike hit the ground. It had apparently been down on the left side before, had some scratches already, but this time I cracked the cover on the left side and oil began leaking. It left a puddle where it drapped and dripped all way back into the garage, where it now sits with the plastics off, waiting for me to make my next move.
