    They might look crappy, ie tea pot, whale. but the they are a proven bike in reliability and comfort, they haven't had a long run in production for nothing.

    Yeah maybe ... I have a couple of bandits and the same engine is in the 750 Katanas ... the engine does have a long and successful production run. Yes they are reliable ... and maybe comfortable for some - one of my mates has one and he doesn't find it comfortable - he is either looking to modify it or sell it ..

    The boss of my local also told me a coupe of weeks ago that every Katana he has sold has been dropped - every single one ... I'm not sure what that tells us.

    For me, the Katana is just too ugly. One man's meat and all that.

    "dropped" = crashed/binned

    Not just because the riders are short ...
