new Suzuki Katana
I missed the news that Suzuki were bringing back the Katana name.
The official unveiling isn't until next month so all we have is a teaser video which only features a sword blade and a mock up picture (from MCN?) https://www.rideapart.com/articles/2...-teaser-video/ |

Re: new Suzuki Katana
Sorry, imo the bike in the picture looks simply appalling.
Can't think of a single positive thing to say about it other than: at least it isn't a Harley. |

Re: new Suzuki Katana
Not sure about the back end but the front is a nice nod to the 80's classic.

Re: new Suzuki Katana
I think with that back you'd get very wet in the rain. I still like it, just couldn't own one.

Re: new Suzuki Katana
Every time I looked at one of these when they were first released in the late 70s I used to think (and still do) "Styling exercise". Interesting shape for their time, but strip the bodywork off and what is left is an across the frame, bog-standard, 4 cylinder UJM.
I know, I know. A heretic, burn him at the stake! |
