FORGING A NEW

STREET LEGEND

Cupar Motorcycles launch

the latest Suzuki Katana

The wet weather theme continues but Cupar Motorcycles took it in their stride launching the new Katana from Suzuki at their showroom on May 30th. There was a good turn out on the night with a free-to-enter raffle for everyone that came along on the night.

On display were two new Katana's and one of the older models showing the heritage the Katana name commands and the styling points that have been brought forward from the original models.

In Glass Sparkle Black and Metallic Mystic Silver the Katana's strikes an aggressive pose and although the seat height looks a bit tall, the sculpted seat allows riders of all heights to reach the floor.

With Suzuki's proven 999cc 4 cylinder engine, used on the GSX-S 1000 range, the bike has the power to take on any road. The Black model (pictured right) is Cupar Motorcycle's demo bike so if you feel the need to try the bike, with a view to buying, get in touch with them quick because booking are already open and filling up. Over the next month we'll also be putting the Katana through it's paces and will have the full review on our July issue.
