you're right! i didn't notice it had ".ca"
i feel so dumb now.
dood if you can afford a 7K bike, then just add 1K more and you can have a GSX-R600 already. they're already out this month and if i had the choice, i would have bought it instead of the 1000 i have right now.
anyway, the ZZR600 is still over 100hp so it's still gonna be more than enough for the streets. good luck!

Actually the ZZR-600 has about 98bhp versus 92bhp on the YZF-600R. Thats not a big difference. I would go sit on both and see how comfortable they are for you. The Kawi is a little "vibby" I hear.
The ZZR-600 was a top of the line supersport 600 in 2002. Its basically a rebadged 2002 ZX-6R. You might also consider a CBR600 F4i, but that might be too expensive. Good luck.

at least to me the yammie is the more comfy of the 2, the ZZR is the better looking of the 2. the ZZR is lighter but the yammie is not exactly a pig either. Both would outperform a katana 750.
the F4i is pretty comfy too but is a tad pricey for what you get

somebody on another board was posting that he's never known a happy katana owner. something about them being too unwieldy?

I can direct you to another board (not a katana specific one either) and show you a number of really happy katana owners.
The Katana is a great sportbike for street riding, very comfortable and plenty of power. The weight just takes getting used to and its not that bad.

Friday I went and looked at all of them, I really like the Kawi, it will be a month or so until finances are straightened out but I will probably be getting a ZZR600. I liked how it felt and I liked the split seat also. Of course the yellow/black ZX10 is awesome
