I had a '01 Katana 750 as my second bike. I loved it. It was very comfortable. The seat was very plush and the riding position was more upright. I could ride it for hours and not get tired. Plus, it came with a fuel gauge, which is really nice. As far as power goes, it had more than I needed. It accelerates very quickly from a stop, but tops out sooner too. I pimped it out with some aftermarket parts and it looked pretty nice. It was a very reliable bike.

Bikes like the Katana, Bandit, and SV650 are often overlooked because just about every newbie wants a gixxer. That, and most motorcycle magazines only cover supersport bikes and/or cruisers.
