First off let me say hi to everyone. I’m completely new to this and would like some pointers and advice, let me say I know absolutely nothing about street-bikes what so ever, however I did race MX for 10 years so I can ride.

My situation:

I'm done with MX, I just sold my CR250 so thats over, I have around $6-7k saved up in the bank and would like to buy a new sportbike and move to another hobby besides MX. My uncle just purchased a new 2006 Suzuki GSX 750F Katana for $6,000 and I really like it. I got the chance to take it for a spin and fell in love, it fit me really well. Being I only have around $6-$7k right now my options are limited but the Katana seems like a good bike. I have the money in hand and am ready to make a buy but wanted a little feedback from some of you experienced riders first on what I should do.

Thanks in Advance.
