| wahlstros's Full Review: 2001 Suzuki Katana 750 |
Leaning into the 3rd year for my Katana, I still am in love. After having ridden a couple of other bikes in the same class, I still feel that the 2001 Katana is one of the easier, more forgiving motorcycles on the market today.
If you're interested in learning sport bike skills without having toooo much horsepower between your legs (~75hp@8500 rpms) - check out the Katana...it'll still beat any car off the line here in Chicago without having to worry about the front wheel coming off the ground.
Maintenance has been minimal (annual inspections and tuning, had to replace a cluth cable and redo the front fork seals) - but buyer beware - in the U.S. most parts for the 98-01 Katana are available only from Suzuki so expect to be paying for stock parts.
