The Suzuki KATANA is destined to create a new legend. From the sharp lines and highlights defining the length of its body to the rider-friendly performance of its 110kW (150PS) engine, every detail of the Suzuki KATANA speaks of distinctive beauty.

Fine Craftsmanship
The Japanese Katana is beautiful to gaze upon and unbelievably exciting to wield. The epitome of fine craftsmanship, this famed sword combines sophisticated Japanese aesthetics and pure beauty into a sharp design. These characteristics made it the perfect motif for the Suzuki KATANA.
The KATANA also symbolises well Suzuki’s uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship. Suzuki’s dedication to creating distinctive beauty includes paying due respect to tradition while at the same time aiming to incorporate the latest advances in styling and technology.
Long Stroke 999cc Engine
The engine features a long-stroke design with a 73.4mm bore and 59.0mm stroke resulting in a broad power range delivered smoothly across the entire rev range.
Producing 110kW (150PS) @10,000rpm with 108Nm of torque @9,500rpm putting the power to the ground through a back-torque limiting clutch.
State-of-the-art technology provides ultimate efficiency, combined with it’s addictive induction noise, makes every ride, a sheer exciting one.
KATANA themed LCD display
The full LCD brightness-adjustable instrument cluster packs a wide range of useful information into a relatively compact form factor.
It is also designed to make the readouts from its multiple functions easy to recognise.
The panel features a custom display with graphics exclusive to the KATANA with white lettering on a black background.

Chassis
Compact and lightweight

-
Spark Plugs
NGK Iridium
Iridium spark plugs heighten the spark strength and combustion efficiency over conventional plugs, thereby contributing to higher power, more linear throttle response, easier engine start-up, and a more stable idle.
-
Cooling System
Oil Cooler
The engine uses a liquid-cooled oil cooler as opposed to the air-cooled type as found on the GSX-R1000. Both lighter in weight and more compact size for a cleaner look.
LED Lighting
Distinctive styling points all round. The vertically-stacked LED headlight and front position lights accent the sharp lines of the front cowling and are matched with LED turn signals and an LED tail light unit.
3-Mode Traction Control
This track-bred technology provides greater confidence and reduces fatigue by delivering control over engine output that helps prevent rear wheel spin.
The system operates so smoothly and naturally that it does not interfere with handling, even when the rider wishes to engage in aggressive sports riding.
The rider can freely select one of three modes using the convenient handlebar switch.
Mode one is for sport riding with minimal intervention; mode two offers the ideal balance for typical road conditions; and mode three delivers maximum traction control when riding in poor conditions.
Satellite rear fender
The KATANA is the first Suzuki motorcycle to feature a small rear fender supported by the swingarm that hugs the rear tyre. Moving it, along with the rear indicators and license plate holder, to this position eliminates parts extending from under the seat to give the tail section cleaner lines and a tougher, lighter new look.

"Give that 'bar a shove, however, and the KATANA is eager to oblige – it's agile without being scary, and stable but a heap of fun through the twisties"
"Riding the package proved to be pretty cool. It felt a bit special. Probably because it is a bit special. It’s a KATANA, after all."
"The bike is super stylish, great quality, extremely engaging at a fundamental level and that means grins in all conditions, every ride"
"Unless you are stretching the cable out of high-speed fourth and fifth gear corners all day, your range will still be over 200 kilometres in almost every scenario"
"The combination of capable suspension and strong brakes make it a delight to whip through the bumpy and twisting roads"
Check out the first impression video from Bikesales.com.au’s Mark Fattore.
“The KATANA responds beautifully to smooth, controlled inputs and doesn’t have to be bullied through turns best performing nakedbikes on the market”.
Media launch insights from Jeff Ware at BikeReview.com.au.
“After spending a day riding the KATANA in everything from traffic to WOT mountain roads we scored it a 9/10″.
Racing legend and classic KATANA racer Steve Martin came away impressed with the new iteration.
“It’s got street cred, it’s got style, it’s got history and it’s relatively cheap, making it one desirable motorcycle”.
