New Suzuki Katana. 2019?

If the video is the final product it looks a lot like the prototype. I like it. All black please.

What'll they think of next......the Honda Hurricane?

 

meh

 

I was expecting something more redonculous. It almost looks like a ER6n. Kinda meh. The original Katana was a bold move from Suzuki as it was designed by a German designed (Hans Muth) At the time, was considered heresy in Japan, but proved to be a very good move because that Katana became an icon of design. The new one certainly doesn't seem to live up to it.

As I said in another thread, it's a GSXS1K with retro bodywork. Looks like even the headlight is the same. I like it better than the other Japanese retro offerings, and prefer the looks over my GSXS. No way it won't have a big ugly rear fender though...

 

Specs?

 

Are you kidding me? That thing is hella cool! (Disclaimer: I have the original)

 

I like it, but then again I've always liked katana's (yeah I said it publicly). I'm more inclined to buy that Honda "game changer" at this point in my life though.

 

yes.

Google: GSXS1000

 

gixxer s1000

 

Kinda looks like a GS1100

 

i like the rear wheel brand name graphic...

 

It is both bold and new...

 

Another parts bin slapped together bike from Team BNG

 

you like neon lights on the bike too

 

believe it or not my first bike(used sv650) had white lights... not bad looked cool at night as it wasn't pointed at the ground just lit up the engine area

 

Good Lord that thing is worse then all of the Honda game changers put together.
