Basket case kat

Hi, Katriders

I just picked up my very first street bike (95 kat 600) it has just a little over 17k its a little rough around the edges and I picked it up in a couple boxes and a few pieces. originally a purple (ish) color which OP painted black.

I have a long way to go on this bike mostly electrical at this point. I have a lot of experience on 2 stroke dirt bikes but it is a big learning curve jumping into a i4 crotch rocket. Thanks in advance for your guys help!

Welcome to KR....sorry but, THE KATANA IS NOT A DAMN SPORTS BIKE!!! It's a touring bike it is given a little tweet to the sport side, like a Honda with a big muffler and a body kit...

I didn't say sport. I used street to defer confusion from off road. But I'll call it a touring bike just for you

Nvm I did write "crotch rocket" i see the error of my ways

Not trying to be a douche but, If I stop you now from thinking you have something you don't the better off you'll be for it. . Once you're around more you'll see why..

I should correct that a little it is classed as a sport touring. Just like the Lincoln LSC was a sports car.....
