No one can deny that Suzuki's Katana is an iconic bike from the 1980's.

The 2019 version is a GSX-S1000 based bike bringing that retro style and distinct Katana lines back to life.

The GSX-R1000's 150bhp powerplant is the perfect base for the new Katana to be built on with the great chassis, twin-spar beam alloy frame, GSX-R swingarm, USD forks, and radial Brembo front calipers.

There are few original Katana's around these but this one is set to bring many's a teenage dream back to life when it hits the showroom floor next year bringing with it all the GSX-S 1000 tech and capability with the unmistakable Katana lines.

Suzuki's Katana is back!
