| evanmander's Full Review: 2001 Suzuki Katana 750 |
As my 4th bike, I loved the Katana. I used it for commuting and fun. It fit my 6 foot tall 160 lbs frame well and had good weight/stability and of course great gas mileage.
I bought it used with a Yoshimura pipe for extra power and dropped a sprocket for more torque, so my experience is that it is great for torque and top speed (150mph before I wussed out. I still felt power in the throttle!) I rode the bike year round in Atlanta GA, and did two road trips from Atlanta to Boston and back (It's a two day trip on a Katana.) Not all that comfortable for such a long ride, but it was possible. I found it did fine in the rain and other conditions.
I gave it up after 4 years and 27,000 miles because I am done with the sport bike part of my life. I'll either go Ducati or BMW next-most likely because I'm getting old :)
The only con is that
