I see a 2004 Suzuki Katana 600 with 6800 miles for sale for $2k. They say it needs work. I might reach out and get it

Any thoughts on if that's a decent bike to start on and I won't outgrow? I'm sure it's better than a 300 or 400. And it sounds good going by videos
I know you mentioned no higher than a 600, however I would look at a used Honda CBR650F. Comfortable, plenty of power for a starter and reliable.

I know about the 650. Those are different engine layouts. Way less hp, but more usable torque.

The 600cc i4s are said to be dying out though. From what I understand they're not comfortable and not good on the streets unless you rev to 8k.

Depends the 600 for comfort, I have a CBR600 and could ride it for most of day without an issue. As far as revs most of them you will be between 4-5K for around the city, on the freeway I’m at between 6-7k at 75-80mph. Not touching 8K unless you maxing out revs trying to race.
