Nice to ride and can be enjoyed in city or open road.

A gsxr is a super sport. A GSXR is a light bike a 600 would be around 350lbs and a 1000 is around 420lbs (dont take my word for it). A katana is around 500 lbs.

The katana is the GSX-F i believe.

the difference: lots of money 😛

The R is lighter, more powerful, fuel injected, and has a more aggressive riding position. it’s all new tech.

the F (katana) is basically a really old GSX-R. It’s air-cooled instead of liquid cooled, it’s carbed instead of fuel injected, and it is HEAVY (over 100 lbs heavier than the GSX-R). being old tech keeps it cheap.

it’d be a very good highway tourer, but don’t expect to keep up with more modern 600 cc sport bikes in a drag race.

Any motorcycle is fun if ridden correctly, and the Katana is no exception. It may not get the respect that a GSXR or an RR does amongst the sport bike crowd, but it’s plenty fast and capable enough to make you smile and enjoy it (which is really what it’s all about).

Like someone else mentioned, watch one of the GSXR squids do an hour commute, then moan and groan while they try to get off of the thing! The Katana will do great on medium length rides, is comfortable, and cheap to buy and insure.

In other words: enjoy the ride, not just putting down other riders because they don’t have the bike that YOU want.

CAN-O-TUNA

in other words it’s like the yugo of the bike world

It’s a little cheaper than the gsx line of bikes. You need to ask yourself what kind of riding you want to do. The gsx bikes have a more aggressive riding posture (you lean way forward). you can commute on them, but you may ache in the back on longer rides.
The sport touring bikes you are a little more upright in the seat. they are a little more comfortable on longer rides, but are good for aggresive riding too.
My personal opinion: If you decide on a sport tourer, go with the Yamaha YZF600R. Great bike for commuting or canyon carving.
If you want the single minded “sport” bike. go with the GSX bikes.

Still a sport bike, but tamed down for the masses. The components used on The bike are not as high end and light weight. This keeps the cost down. The GSX is more of a track bike with license plates. Lighter weight, more HP, better brakes. More aggressive riding position.
