Pros: cheap and fun Cons: cant go hang out with the big boys without looking like a tool
The thing most important to people in the market for new bikes is price. Lets face it, not all of us make the big bucks. Unfortunately, as luck would have, most of my friends do. While all of my friends were going out and buying GSXR-1100's and ZX-11's,...
Pros: Looks, handling, power.comfort Cons: Minor Vibrations
First of all, let start out by saying that I have owned a 1985 Yamaha FJ600 for ten years now, (and still have it)so the comments made about the Katana from my opinion will be pretty good since it's been this long since I have driven an up to date...
Pros: Looks Good, Cheap Price Cons: Lack of Power and Handling
Let me just say, keep saving your lunch money and buy a Yamaha or a Honda if you want a 600 series bike. I am not trying to be rude, but you will be a lot happier once you realize how horrible this bike is.
Pros: Sweet looking, smooth ride, turns heads and sometimes gives them whiplash! Cons: Heavy, tall, large turning radius.
Katana
Introduction
I saw this like sitting in the Suzuki dealership one day. I thought to myself "man would that be a sweet bike". A few days later I decided to buy it. My first real motorcycle, a 2001 Suzuki GSX600F, A. K. A....
Pros: Great Entry Level Performance Cons: no racing / on the heavy side
My first bike was a '91 Katana 600. It is a great intro to bikes if you are leaning towards sport bikes and aren't planning to race in the near future. The good (and bad) thing about the Katana (600 & 750) is that the engineering of the bike has not...
Pros: good gas mileage, great acceleration Cons: tough on long rides
My first motorcycle was a Kawasaki Ninja 250. Very soon I got tired of this little bike since it was rather slow.
I found a used 1990 model Katana 600 for $800. It had some damage to the paint and I had to clean the carburetor, but besides that it...
Pros: great for beginners, fast enough, FUN to ride. Cons: carborated engine= need to choke when cold starting
OK, first off, I've got a '95 Katana, not a 2000. There was no option for reviewing a 1995, though.
Now, with that said, let me start by saying that anyone who thinks the Katana 600 is slow, bad handling, and cheap is obviously someone who takes...
Pros: Price, comfort, styling Cons: Gets a bad reputation for being a "SPORT" bike
After a year of saving and research, I decided that the Katana 600 would be the best bike to suit my lifestyle. Many often refer to this bike as the "CAN-A-TUNA" but you have to keep in mind that it's in a class of its own compared to the...
Pros: good beginner bike, great styling, simple maintenance, inexpensive Cons: heavy, not as powerful as other 600s
I had ridden dirt bikes for several years earlier in life. I always wanted to get a sport bike and enjoy riding on the streets. I had done some research and was familiar with all of the popular models in every class of bike. I was not sure of my...
Pros: Looks great, user-friendly, great first bike comfortable,easy and fun Cons: Heavy,not enough power for advanced,lots of plastic(expensive to replace)
I bought my katana last year. It was brand new (showroom condition)it was/is my first sportsbike and I love it. It handles great,even in town (traffic), great for long rides (although i might get gel seats, but stock are fine and it is one of the most...
Pros: Good Handling, smooth ride Cons: I really have no complaints about the Katana.
I bought the Katana 600 in 1996, the last year before it's remodelling. This bike gave me 10,000+ miles in 6 months with only need for a new rear tire and regular oil changes and chain adjustments. The day I bought the bike, I was enjoying the ride so...
Pros: Great looks, low maintenance, great for beginners, heavy, great gas mileage Cons: Heavy when not in motion (read review), battery charge retainer.
I recently took a fancy to motorbike riding and got a well recommended beginner bike. So my comments are "beginner comments from personal experience". The bike I have is a Katana 600 (or 650 I'm not sure). Its heavy while not in motion. and if you do ...
I bought a 1993 Katana 600 after 12 years of riding experience with a standard bike. The Katana proved to be dependable in a wide range of riding situations. I did some long distance trips..including one trip to Sturgis. The stability and comfort of...
