Title: Katana
Post by: GSXKING on Thursday, 07 March 2019, 08:03 PM
I spotted this Katana on the Suzuki stand at WSBK at Phillip Island. Looks like its based on a GSXS1000 I don't mind the concept.  :onya:

It's the same as a gsxs1000 except for the bodywork
I'll have a closer look at the Scottish bike show on Saturday.

Like the Mini, Beetle, Jeep, Z900 etc it seems to be another average vehicle trying to live off the image of something that was once great.

A detuned 14 year old motor in an otherwise same-as bike, that lacks any recent tech and has a 12 ltr tank for folk who want an image rather than a bike to ride.

A new Kat and a new Busa were both on my "2019 Possibles" list but both got crossed off.
