New to forum from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA

#1 Unread post by canadianbacon »

Hi All....just a friendly hello from up north.... 8)

This Forum looks like a lot of fun and I cant wait to chat with you folks. I've added a picture of my new 2005 GSX600F Katana that I picked up last Friday. I just can't wait to break the bike in and see what it can really do!! :D a 1000Km's won't take long to get to.

As a starter tpoic, I thought I'd ask for any opinions on this Katana...Good or bad from people who have owned or ridden one.

Cheers,

Welcome to TMW! Nice to see another excited rider. :wink: I don't have any personal experience with the Katanas, but I've heard they're very solid, reliable bikes. Have fun with it! 8)

Welcome to the board! Nice looking ride you've got there. How do you like it so far? There are a few of us here in Cow-town and we even pull off the odd pub night so you will have to come out next time around. Hang around for a while and check out the forums and you can get addicted like the rest of us :laughing:

:welcome:

Welcome canadianbacon!

Great looking Katana 600 you purchased! How do you like it? The Katana is a great bike and has been around for a very long time in different forms. Total Motorcycle has a 2005 Katana 600 page: http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2 ... Katana.htm with some specs you may find interesting.

Is this your first bike or..? I look forward to reading your posts and stories. :D

Have fun and don't forget we have a Calgary TMW Pub/Coffee Night! Please do come on out, meet some friendly members and have some fun!

Enjoy!

Mike.
