The front now comes with a different fascia than the concept model, adopting a square headlight and more prominent tank scoops.

 Katana also flaunts a short rear end for styling reasons, Katana is pretty modern with sharp design lines around the front area. The huge front and rear tire, along with reasonably comfortable suspension, is shared with the Suzuki GSX-S1000F. The engine produces 150HP of maximum power and 106 NM of maximum torque. The bike weighs just 215kg.

The engine performs well in the high rpm range and thus, buyers can enjoy sports bike style riding with tourer friendly seating position on the new Suzuki Katana 1000. The retro-modern design lines are further supported by the clean exhaust system and powerful electronic features like traction control, low rpm assist and independent rear tire hugger.
