Im thinking of buying a newer GSXR600. I currently ride an older Katana 600. I love this bike but shes getting old & alittle under powered for my liking. This was my first bike & well she has treated me VERY well but I find Im asking more & more from her but she just cant handle it, shes old (1989) Im starting to have to do some minor to major repairs & Im thinking would a GSXR600 do ?? I love the 1999 model for some reason. Ive looked at a few & well Im in love all over again. I havent ridden one yet, no one will let me, no idea why, I can ride just as well as the guys I ride with on their bigger GSXR's. Can anyone give me some of their opinion on the GSXR600 ??
