Is a 2002 Suzuki katana 750 motorcycle a good bike to buy.?

Question

It is all black with a few scratchs. It cost $3,500 and has 12,000 miles. I want to know if this is better than a kawaski 750.

Answer 1

It depends on what you want to do with it. It's not a good choice for a first time rider, as a beginner is likely to find it powerful and unforgiving. While if you're an experienced rider and a real speed demon, you may not find it fast enough, as it's not an all out performance bike as, say, a GSXR-750.

What the Katana does well is that it's a sporty but reasonably comfortable bike for a rider with some good, solid riding experience. If that sounds like what you're after, it may be a good choice.

Answer 4

Katanas are supposed to be pretty heavy, both in terms of weight and handling... i've heard that handling and power is worse than on a gsxr/cbr/r6, also they are a little lacking in the looks dept. My friend started on a beat up katana and he said it was a good beginner bike... but he sold it after a month and got a SV650.

Answer 5

Its a sport tourer not a sport bike. Has about 85~90 bhp
You can drop an early model GSX-R1100 motor into it without too much trouble(140+bhp) or the later 1200 Bandit engine.(about 100bhp, lots of torque)
I like them, they have lots of 'potential' ;o)

With only 15,000 miles and a bad right blinker? I'd look further into it (personally I'd get it, just because of personal preference).

Answer 7

Sorry I've never bought a used bike and never will. Why do people by sport bikes/chotch rockets...not to ride around like grandma!
