Hello There!
Would like to introduce myself to the members of this cool Board! Im a new Rider from NY (Orange County to be specific) and just bought my first bike.
My search lasted for months... I looked at all sorts of motorcycles all the way from Ninja's to Buell's.
I couldn't find the right bike for a long time, it would either be out of my price range or I would suddenly read something about it and dislike it.
I wanted to get a Ninja but the gearbox clunks kind of scared me off and at the time I couldn't find any at the right price.
I've looked at CBR's however the harshness of those bikes made me think ahead.
I looked into getting a Yamaha's YZF but just couldn't find one
so My search went on...
I initially wanted a GS 500 as my first bike however the lack of go on the freeway made me wonder how long I would actually keep it for
Anyway... to the point.
I didn't know at first that Such bike as Katana existed until I saw one on local Craigs-list.
It was a 1993 Red Katana, very clean but with 40k on it. The price was alrite... but I didn't go for it.
The Katana attracted me because of its design as a sports bike however it was with a spice of cruiser.
Perfect combination of Comfort, Speed, Reliability and Agility... I just knew it was the perfect bike!
Month goes by and I see this 99 Katana beeing reposted for a bit out of budget, I said "WTH" and went for it.
Called the guy and scheduled a 'seeing'. Couple days later after about an hour of negotiations I had the title for this Beaut
Some Quick Info:
1999 600 (Most of you could prob tell anyway)
Got it with 7300 Miles on the clock for 2100 bucks.
There is some damage on the Right side Fairing, Blinker and the Engine cover (common Kat scratch spots)
