Very nice! The US got the 1000cc bikes for racing homologation, Canada got the 1100cc versions.

I know about the heavy steering, the 19" front wheel is mostly responsible for that. It's a fun toy for occasional rides though. After riding either of my "modern" sportbikes, the Katana feels like a special occasion! It's like an old 911 that way.
