Someone on another board hinted that the Katanas were going the way of the Bandits for 2007. Anyone heard or read anything? I like these little bikes.

The smart thing to do would be to replace the 750 Kat with an 1100 to fill the missing Bandit void.

I will agree on that one...But not like the old 1100's retractable windshield?? And too much weight!

I imagine the Katana line will be gone soon. They've been around a long time and have about ended their product life. Not to mention they have carbs. I think all carbed bikes will be gone in the next few model years. Emissions will kill them plus I don't think dealers like messing with carbs.

I kinda like the look of the Katana but just found the riding position really uncomfortable. Dunno why...

Too much forward lean?
