Default should i.....

buy a GSX-R 750??? its an 01, lots of upgrades, full yoshimira exhuast, wheels have been powder coated yellow and have a polished lip, well maintaned, under 4k miles, never been down, tires look brand new, dynoed at 126whp

if i bought it, i would still hang onto the katana for a while, till i felt a lot more comforatable to take a much more powerful bike like that on the road for something longer than to the store and back

I'm a honda man!!!!! That being said, the gixxer 750 is an excellent bike . . . well balanced between power and weight, it has power like a 1000, but turns and is "flickable" like a 600 . . . I rode my friends gixxer 750 and I loved it . . . Everyone knows it'll be really hard to stay on the katana when you get the gixxer, so be honest, you'll ride it, all the time even and love it! ain't nutin wrong with that! Jus be smart and keep your gear on at all times, and know that control over your motorcycle is more important than accelerating What would I do? Buy it

Just hold off on the 750. Its going to take a while to build up your skills on the 600.

hold off. I can still learn a thing or two on **** *** 500s. You could invariably learn a million things and more importantly the one that saves your ***. Stay in it for the long run, we need more serious riders.

If you have to ask then don't do it.
