THE LEGEND RETURNS
Suzuki has unveiled a new Katana for 2019, pulling the wraps off the latest machine to bear the iconic name at Intermot in Cologne, Germany.
The original Katana has maintained a legendary status since its launch in 1981, with a design that remains as impactful now as it did then. With styling cues from the original machine and the latest concept, the new Katana moves the design into the modern era, with its contours and lines inspired by the strokes of the hand crafted Japanese Katana sword. The positive riding position, enhanced by one-piece handlebars, sees riders nestled behind a fuel tank and top fairing that are also immediately recognisable as Katana, boasting retro appeal but with a modern twist.
