Nice! I came very close to getting a Katana. The insurance cost killed it for me, though.

I'm old too, but NJ is out of control for insurance, especially when it's considered a sport bike.:(

Nice :) And wow, only $300 for full coverage? I'm in my mid-20's, so I'd of course expect to pay a decent amount, but I was quoted $3000/year for my GSX-R (as opposed to $270 for liability). That's a pretty huge jump from your price to mine.

Anyway, you should try to jump a bridge or somethin!

Stunts like that are what drive the insurance up:p
Besides, I'm scared to get hurt!

Is there any good place online to buy aftermarket items?

Some place trustworthy...I want to get a new pipe.

Try kneedraggers.com or twistedthrottle.com. I've used both, no problems and decent prices.
Also, check out riderforums.com for info.
