R6's also have this problem from 98-2002. Fixed it in 2003 so I've heard. And it shows up in higher miles.

Exellent advice form everyone. I think I am going to go with the SV650. I just llike it.
Do you think it ahs enough balls to power wheelie? Thats important to me :cheers:

The SV wheelies easier than many 600 supersport bikes due to the torque all over the powerband.  I've accidentally power wheelied the SV more than once.
Going from an abused, underpowered GS to my modded SV was quite a shock - I couldn't run WOT all the time like I did with my GS  :mrgreen:

So it will wheelie pretty easily hey? Good too hear.

What do you all think aboutt he 2000 Katana 750. I like it. I think it would be decent especially for longer rides from Calgary to Cali. :cheers:

Katana after 97 look fugly. All of them are still heavier than the GS. Heard they are real comfy for a tourer tho. Definatly not a sportbike.
