Default need advice on buying 650

I am buying my first sport bike and deciding between the suzuki katana 600 and the ninja 650r. Any advice on which I should buy and why?
Thanks

I don't know about comparison with the Katana, but the I recently read an article comparing the 650R with the Suzuki SV650 - the SV came out on top for speed, power and cornering but had crappy ergos compared the 650, but the 650R had better ergos, was better for longer distances, had better seat height, adjustable clutch and brake levers, was easier to manouver in city traffic etc.

Just keep your eyes peeled for comparisons online - they are coming soon.

BTW - I'd go for the 650 over the Katana anyday!

a black 650 because it looks bad *** and they are easier to get around on, well easier then a kanatuna.
