Cheech Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I've 3/4 convinced myself to get another bike. Budget would be the upper end of $4500, and I'm not trading the Katana.I'm after a sportbike, preferably 600-800cc. I prefer something that's lighter than my Katana, but if there's a 02+ VFR available I'm in. Definitely a sportbike, not really a cruiser kid. I'm not above some fairing rashes, but it had better be priced accordingly, no broken or cracked pieces, and no metal/frame damage. FI is a gotta-have, I'm really not messing with carbs again.

V4junkie Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Do it, but if you get a VFR it is basically better than the Katana in every way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 If you could come up with a bit more $$$$ you could buy my ZX10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 You should look into a 04+ F4i. The ergo's are near VFR-like, but it's much lighter and handles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 you should ditch the heavy katana and get a newer sport bike.. not that a katana isnt a sport bike but a great handling light powerful one it is not.. or keep the katana and get a dirtbike and put some street tires onit.

hue jass Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Hey Cheech why don't you try on about an '01-'03 Suzuki TL. The low end torque is stunning and the weight is low. Oh and when you hear it, you'll cum right in your pants. And flames shoot out when you chop the throttle. Check out my favorite YouTube Video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S25He2OStiM Edited July 10, 2009 by hue jass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 i will sell u my 07 gsxr 750 for that. It needs a left fairing.Like, needs a complete left fairing because the plastics are cracked and busted up, or because there's a ton of rash but plastics are intact?I got pretty good with Ice flexible body filler putting the Kat back together from my low-speed slide, so a ton of plastic-only rash doesn't really faze me.

Cheech Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 you should ditch the heavy katana and get a newer sport bike.. not that a katana isnt a sport bike but a great handling light powerful one it is not.. or keep the katana and get a dirtbike and put some street tires onit.That's the motivating factor. I still want to do my EFI swap project on the Kat, but I realize once I'm done with that I'll still have a 450+ pound fatass that now has awesome fueling. The Kat was always designed to learn on and be done with, but I know that I will never, ever get out what I put into it so I'm just going to keep it.
