Looked at a Kanatuna today

[Captain Morgan]

Was on my way to pick up my daughter at daycare and saw a yellow Kanatuna 600 sitting in someones yard with a for sale sign. Stopped and looked it over. It's an 02 w/ just under 10k miles on it. Looks like it's been driveway dropped on each side. Nothing broken, just scratched up. Tires were dry-rotted. He had a list of "new" items on it, but can't remember what they all were. I remember rear brake pads and clutch cable, but the list was about 5 or 6 items. He was asking $3k, firm. If I could have haggled, I might have considered it, but I don't think it's worth my time. I need to remember that I want to buy a house first... But dammit, I want a bike, even to the point of looking at a lame Kanatuna...

Look at a used yzf600r then. A little bit quicker, better looking and still in the same price range.

you can find katanas much lower than that. try checking out craigslist every day. some really good deals start popping up when it gets colder out

[PiZdETS]

3 grand is your limit? Start looking here. Best place to find cheap ass bikes imo, start checking early in the morning, especially on weekends, deals go really quick.

[Captain Morgan]

Well, I don't really KNOW what my limit is. I just hate being without a bike. I go through this so often it's not funny. I can't even tell you how many bikes I've looked at this year. I don't usually post about it. I think the only reason I posted about this one is that I'm stunned that I even stopped to look at the bike. I had a Katana for my first "sport" bike. It was a decent bike, but hell, the Ninja 250's were just as fast as this fat ass 600. I think if I were going to spend 3 grand on a bike this slow, I'd just fly out to Vegas and buy DLit's 250 that he's been trying to sell. But I know that I shouldn't buy a bike. I want to, but I shouldn't. At least not right now...

One day. I think my first priority is to find a job in the town where my daughter is. 2nd priority is a house. 3rd is a bike. However, I keep looking at bikes.

[Mr Lefty]

where's your daughter?

[DLIT]

Katana?? Don't do that to yourself, man. Holdout for an actual sportbike.

Just buy a goddamn bike. Any bike. You'll be much happier.
