katana Retern
I've been seeing quite a few rumours around the web for a while but now it looks like the rumours are becoming a reality
I quite like the look of this, even if it is a Suzuki.
Whatcha think poppers?

My new ride is a bit of a Howler and I love to make her Squeal
Re: katana Retern
Also been following this since the start of the rumours... the silver shark lives again. Must say its stolen my heart. buuut saw they have a kind of target price of 11.5k - no great surprise i spose but i guess im just going to have to become a contract killer to raise the money
Re: katana Retern
mmmm I am still undecided.
I am a huge fan of the original Katana, and I also love some of the homebuilt, kat based, beasts on the ACS [Aircooled Suzuki) site with USD front ends and monoshock tail and perhaps even a turbo. they are what an evolution of the Katana shoul look like
........ so the new one just looks a bit watered down and sterile for me.
Pete, is it not just a set of new plastics on your bikes base platform .. but at least it solved the droopy tit problem

Re: katana Retern
Also undecided. Like the Kawasaki H2, these bikes have too many angles and sharp contours for my taste. I suppose I'll have to adapt with hope that Honda doesn't follow suit with the 2019 Blade.

Re: katana Retern
Same bike, different higher seat, no droopy front and a 12 ltr tank.
not sure who it is aimed at to be sure?

Re: katana Retern
Yep!
Stu is right. I don’t know if there will be any different power figures but that’s the basics of it so far.
Love the icon 1000. There is a great vid of it on line somewhere

Re: katana Retern
I quite like it, I don't like the 12 litre fuel tank, I think they could have still had the styling and made the tank a useful size, a bad move which will limit it's appeal.
Saw a photoshop the other day of the new Katana with fancy front end, a pipe and a few other subtle mods, it looked awesome.
Kat pics are always good

This is me on the 1100sxz I raced

Re: katana Retern
i have to say i like it, looks really well from the front.
i had a pop up headlight750 years ago and a tuned 1100 which was just silly but love them still.

Re: katana Retern
I can't say it grabs me like the original did. I would like to see one flesh so-to-speak, I might think different then.
I agree with Al (AMcQ46), some of those modded bikes he has posted look the business
