    Those of u who dog on any other kind of bike are either squids...or dont own bikes...i owned a 99 katana...was a great bike...dont put down what u havent ridden...if u say that it handles like then you dont know how to ride....I know plenty of people that will knee drag with katanas. They are good for what they are built for....awesome starter too

    Well let's just put it in perspective then...a Katana is by no means a Sportbike...more or a Sport Tourer.

    I know for a fact what a Katana is, and so does Hipsi.


    You're not gonna see too many Katana's tearing it up on the Dragon or even up Richard Russell. Those bikes are top heavy.....plain and simple.

    shit, I was on my bike and heading home and passed by a fellow biker who just layed it down and turned around to help him out, it was roughly a 20degree slow long left hander and he put it down....for the life of me I dont know how he did it....but laying there was a Katana....and I've seen that similar incident happen to other Katana owners.

    To each their own, but personally I would never own one. I'd trade it in and get an SV....but hey, if it's just a starter bike...you'll learn that you're gonna want something else real fast.

    what were they built for? don't expect to get any ass on a katana, let alone a 92. anywayz, its not even worth my time, but i know one thing, they do a pretty good job... looking like s#$@t.
