Just stock which bike am i gona get beter speeds on and if the katan is faster would my weight be enuff to win me the race?

with the weight differences and the same riding skill you will win. my 500r is faster than a stock katana 600 with the same skilled rider and weight. plus i get better gas mileage.

aftermarket exhaust will reduce the weight too, you'll have 100 lbs bike alone on him, which gives him 200lbs more weight on his bike total. big difference.
