Fans consider the Hans Muth-designed Katana a work of art… commemorating the uprated 2024 model is a collectible 24”x24” KATANA digital lithograph of renowned Japanese artist Makoto Endo’s illustration originally featured in Cycle World, plus two years of complimentary service at their local dealer. U.S. buyers can reserve the Katana package via special order through the Suzuki dealer of their choice through October 20th, 2023. Availability is limited and reservations are accepted on a first come, first served basis.
“Like a bladesmith folding the steel to craft a samurai’s cherished sword, the KATANA reflects Suzuki’s ongoing commitment to fine engineering, precise craftsmanship, and a dedication to performance, so every KATANA detail delivers on these goals,” says Suzuki. For 2024, KATANA key new product updates include:
* The 999cc, GSX-R-based engine has more peak power than the 2020 KATANA, with strong torque in the low- to mid-range that is smoothly controlled by new, Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle bodies for a stimulating sportbike experience.
* The latest version of the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) smooths shifting and engine braking and gives the rider’s clutch hand a rest with the new Bi-directional Quick Shift system.
* The KATANA now features the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.) that includes the three-mode Suzuki Drive Mode Selector and the updated, five-mode Advanced Traction Control System, plus the popular Easy Start and Low RPM Assist systems.
