Where's Hammond?
Well I'll call him!
I asked this in the stupid questions megathread, but didn't get an answer. I've owned one bike, but I don't know the answer. What makes that distinct mechanical whine/scream you hear coming form bikes, mostly supersports? Is it the transmission gears, gear driven cams, or what?

Is there any particular reason people poo poo on the Suzuki Katanas? It seems like any time I mention a GSX-600F to anyone, they say its a pussy bike. From what little I've read it seems its just more relaxed all around than a GSXR. Is there some stigma attached to them? I ask this because they seem to be plentiful on craigslist, and they're a step up from my last bike, an EX500, but not as balls-out hardcore as a GSXR600 or other 600 supersport.
