I am considering buying either a 600 or 750 Suzuki Katana, but at 6'2" am unsure if am too tall for either of them? Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

You should try sitting on one.

I wouldn't mind a 750 Kat. I always kind of liked the stinger butt they had.

Is it your first bike?

Gotta give more info. The Katana 600/750 are the same bike with different motors. Good bike. Quite reliable. Old technology and heaverier than current models. The replacement Gsx650F is probably a better choice. Same simple reliability and pretty darn comfortable with much more modern parts. That is unless your budget is about $4k. Then the Kan-a-tuna is an excellent choice.

The short answer is "no".

Aspen, it really comes down to penis size. Let's take this simple quiz and we'll see if the Katana is right for you:

1. When I undress:
a) My wife gets a wistful look and leaves the room.
b) My dog runs to the door and barks
c) None of the above.

2. In Junior High:
a) I got a note from the Dr. excusing me from P.E.
b) My closest friends were girls.
c) I had the school record for sticking baked beans on the lunchroom ceiling.

3. When I think about riding motorcycles:
a) The smell of leather, sweat, and hot engine oil fills my nostrils.
b) The smell of leather, sweat, and hot engine oil fills my room.
c) My SUV sometimes swerves out of it's lane in traffic.

4. My favorite character in Pirates of the Carribean is:
a) Jack Sparrow.
b) The hot brunette with the British accent.
c) Keith Richards.

Go ahead and post your answers here. Remember, don't "over think" the answers, usually the first one that pops into your head is correct. Once your answers have been submitted, the committee can usually give you a response with 72 hours.

Thanks.

You mean that thing that would like, do some stuff and then do another thing, and then explode gratuitously?

Man, I loved that thing.
