2020 Auto Expo Update: Suzuki Katana Unveiled in India

Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has unveiled the Suzuki Katana at the Auto Expo 2020 in India today.

Suzuki Katana rename a name which has been taken from Suzuki's past bikes, from the 1980s and 1990s, of a popular sport touring motorcycle with the same name.

The 2020 Suzuki Katana is based on the Suzuki GSX-S1000F and is powered by the same 999 cc, in-line four-cylinder engine which puts out 147 bhp of maximum power at 10,000 rpm, and 105 Nm of peak torque at 9,500 rpm.


The Suzuki Katana has already been showcased in international motorcycle shows like the 2018 Intermot show in Germany, as well as the EICMA 2018 show in Milan, Italy.

The production-spec Suzuki Katana does borrow some of the other basic architecture of the Suzuki GSX-S1000F, like the twin-spar aluminum frame. The ergonomics are slightly different, going with the sport-touring theme, and the Katana should have a comfortable perch for the rider. The square-ish headlight is a tribute to the older Katana, but the rest of the bodywork is definitely modern, giving it a neo-retro flavor. The headlight though is LED, and the new Suzuki Katana also gets a full-color TFT screen.
