Default I'm in love.

So after what seemed like an eternity it took to sell my car, and looking for the right bike/price I cam across this on Craigslist this morning. Was only up for 4 hours and I got it, another guy showed up after me ready to pick it up so im happy I did.

1996 Suzuki Katana 750 with 15k, couple things already done to it I had planned on doing so I really am ecstatic with it. Especially for $1300


Leaking oil pretty good from the cover so im just gunna pop that off and put a new seal on it, other than that it seems issue free.

yea all I kept hearing before going to look at it was how heavy/slow katanas are, but im new to bikes so they all feel fast as hell to me. My only other bike ive had to compare this to is my girlfriends ninja 500, and as unpopular as it seems to be I dig it so far.
