I've had my '95 Katana for a grand total of about two weeks now, put about 500 miles on it, and the first time I got on it was the first time I'd ever been on a motorcycle, so there's my disclaimer. Take my statements for what you want
I love the bike. Mine is a 750, and has plenty of power to it, I highly doubt a 600 would be underpowered. Brakes are pretty good, reliability I can't speak for, as mine's only got 4400 miles on it as she sits hiding under her cover right now. Fuel mileage has been mid 40s, although I'm sure it can get better, but hey, I've only been riding bikes since I picked up this one a couple weeks ago
As far as prices of parts, when I bought my bike it needed a bit of work, a new windshield, headlight, taillight, turn signals, and mirrors, as well as a fluid change and a good carb cleaning. All done in a couple weeks for about $400. Don't know if that gives you any idea of prices for stuff, or if you were looking more for prices of performance parts, but that's my experience thusfar.
