There are better opinions than mine on this board.

If your looking for a sporty, inexpensive, and forgiving motorcycle then buy it and ride it.

Should make a good starter for you. Its got a fair horsepower to weight ratio. That just means when you have a tendency to lose your mind, the Katana will compensate much better than a full-blown race bike.

Have fun and enjoy. The MSF course you're going to sign up for is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
