Also, try forums like georigasportbike.com for more info. This motorcycle section over here doesn't really get a lot of attention. For more info on Katanas if you do consider one visit www.katriders.com.

Lots of people will tell you kats aren't good bikes all round just because they aren't as fast as a ss bike. Technically it is a sport touring bike which is why it is more comfy to sit on. It isn't as fast or flickable as a true ss bike but still enough to have fun and it makes a great starter bike. I will probably upgrade next summer, but this one is still a very nice bike.

My carbs are out right now because I am rebuilding them but it will be back together by the end of the weekend. If you would like to come see it and maybe even take it for a spin through my neighborhood pm me. I am a pretty friendly person and as long as you seem to at least have some experience riding on 2 wheels, it doesn't really bother me as long as you chill.

Later.
