I am thinking of getting brakes and such since my pads are running low. Finance the bike.

What do you guys think?

The more I think about it, along with the points people are making, I'm starting to lean towards the mods. A bike is always fun, but especially in my area, really only designated for 4-6 months of a year, also costs more insurance, and it is just another vehicle to maintain. If you just fix up the car, you'll be more happy with your every day driving vehicle. I think it's the route I'm going to take.

if it was me, i'd go for the bike. driving a car could get boring.. then you'd have a bike to hop in and ride around. and the mods you planning on doing, i don't think is a major change, except for the xs headers. i don't see why you can't wait to do those when this bike might be a once in a lifetime thing.

Since the Katana is a Suzuki I'll sell you my bike for $8500... Priced to go!
I don't want to get rid of it, but financial issues until the government gives me my $13,000 back... I also want a bigger bike now that I am used to this one!

2006 Suzuki GSX-R750
First maintenance done and I have 3 more pre-paid services at the dealership, not sure how the transfer works on them. I have the cover that goes where the rear seat is and the stupid factory mud guard that goes where the plate is too. 1500 miles of casual driving and occasionally a few runs over 150, but not beaten. I only read lined it once in second gear and that was at 115 mph... truly a fast bike for a 750.

DEFINITELY the Bike.

You've never had one, and everyone needs to experience this.

The bike will do much more to scratch your itch than a souped up FWD tuna boat!

Plus, summer's coming!

Ride now, sell the bike in the fall, use the money for mods then.

All I said was I dont know how people ask questions like this. You guys added fuel to the fire by replying and asking me questions.

just ask yourself do I already enjoy my CL the way it is? If not then get mods! If you can live with it the way it is for while then get the bike... simple as that!
