2000 Suzuki KATANA 600

Pros: Fast off the line, fairly comfortable for a passenger. Superb Suzuki engineering
Cons: Heavy, outdated, ugly design, not economical. Hard to corner.

I owned two of these, an 89 and a 2003. Loved the 03, such smooth power delivery and engine sound. But it was horribly heavy. Too heavy for comfort. Cornering was difficult and scary. Sure, the bike has tons of power off the line, which is no surprise ...

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 ...

Pros: fast fun good to look at
Cons: heavey

Pros: attention grabber, more than enough power for first time rider
Cons: brakes feel a little soft

i'm a first time rider,i love my kitty kat! and no, its not a gxsr, but i have no problem keeping up with those faster bikes and it looks just as good if not better!! i am not ashamed to go running and gunning with the big dogs.i'm at all bike rallies...

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: 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: Comfortable,reliable and inexpensive to own.
Cons: Hard to wheelie

Katana 2001 600 with 5200 trouble free miles on it so far in 3 months. Doesn't keep up with the true sport bikes but still fun to ride. Comfortable at 100 mph. No wobble just hangs true. I have had it over 100 mph everyday. It is just too easy. Handles...

Pros: Cheap, Good Looks
Cons: Slow, Heavy, Corners poor for a sport bike!!!

The Katana is a good bike for a beginner but the problem is that it will always be a beginners bike. It does not allow you to continue to improve because of the limits the bike has with it poor cornering and heavy frame and engine. It is also a bit too...

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: Affordable and comfortable
Cons: Very heavy, slow acceleration and unreliable

Last year I was introduced to the motorcycle world by a couple of my friends and became instantly addicted. Unfortunately I purchased the wrong bike and regret my decision to this day. I bought my 2000 Suzuki Katana 600 for $5200.00 brand new, the MSRP...

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: 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: Great looks, affordable, nice handling
Cons: low torque, heavy

This is my first sportbike. I actually went into the dealership looking for a Bandit 600. The dealer explained that they were out, but he could give me a great price on the Katana. I immediately fell in love with the bright red bullet-shaped bike. My...

Pros: great looks, very comfortable, fast
Cons: just a little buzzy sometimes but i am not complaining

I just want to start off by saying WOW!! I am new to street bikes and I wanted to find a good bike that was good to begin on but i did not want something like a kawasaki ninja 250. I came across a 1999 Suzuki Katana for $4500. I wasnt planning on...
