I just picked up a 95 Katana 600 for $200 BUCKS!!!. I'm so excited, I cant wait till I get working on it. its a clean title and the bike runs. The bike needs some work but overall it was a steal. I'll try to get pictures up as soon as possible.
Niiiiice. Happy Bike Day!
Some people have good deals thrown at them.I couldn't get a good deal for shaZam!.
Heres some pictures from the dudes advertisement. I'll try to get my own pictures up soon. Sorry their so crappy.
I figure, if I ever get to lazy on working on the bike and never complete the rebuild, I can use as a part bike for the GS....wheels, yoshimura....blah

lol you saw it on craigslist too? I didnt lowball at all....he lowballed himself. He was a really cool dude. He's the one who told me, "just give me 200" and I couldnt disagree. Its such an awesome deal.
I don't know the mechanical condition of the bike but if i were you I'd still immediately replace some 'critical' parts which may fail while you are riding and cause crash/injury (like the chain, brake lines, tires, etc). That what freaks me out about old bikes - a failed part may cost you your life. After all you don't know what that bike went through. So better safe than sorry, right?
Happy riding!

yea for sure....I at least want to get the bike running before I do any riding. I tires are a main thing for me too....but thanks for the tips
Congratz! :thumb:
Looks like it'll be a fun bike when you get it running the way you want. Keep us updated as I occasionally see one of those for sale around here, well in the SE Missouri area at least. From what I hear they've got plenty of power but are kinda heavy, but I've not rode one either.
