About Suzuki Katana
Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited (SMIPL) has launched the Suzuki Katana in India, priced at Rs. 13.61 lakh (Ex-showroom). The Suzuki Katana is assembled in India from completely knocked down kits (CKD) and will be offered in a choice of two colour options, Metallic Mat Stellar Blue, and Metallic Mystic Silver. The name Katana is derived from the Japanese sword of the same name, and the Suzuki Katana was first launched in 1981.
The new Suzuki Katana is based on the Suzuki GSX-S1000F and powered by the 999 cc, liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder, DOHC K5 engine which puts out 150 bhp at 11,000 rpm and 106 Nm at 9,250 rpm. In terms of design, the Suzuki Katana has a more neo-retro design, which is stylish, yet with comfortable ergonomics which should make it easier to ride in everyday conditions in India.
The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) is designed to offer a choice between three different modes that change output characteristics, especially when turning the throttle grip between a slightly open position to when it reaches the top of the mid-speed range under acceleration to match riding conditions or preferences. Mode A (Active) is the mode of choice when the rider wants to put the finest edge on their KATANA's performance. Mode B (Basic) reaches the same level of maximum output, but features softer response and a more linear power delivery curve as the rider opens the throttle. Mode C (Comfort) provides the softest throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, delivering power in smoother linear fashion while still reaching the same level of maximum power output.
Low RPM Assist suppresses engine stalls and helps ensure better control and operation in stop-and-go traffic. Suzuki Easy Start System enables the rider to start the engine with one quick press. The Suzuki Katana has a kerb weight of 217 kg and comes with a 12-litre fuel tank. The Katana gets an upside down fork, with 17-inch wheels, with a 120 mm wide front tyre and a 160-section rear tyre. Braking is handled by Brembo-sourced calipers. The price tag makes the Suzuki Katana an attractive proposition, and in India, it competes against the likes of the BMW S 1000 R and the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX.
Upcoming Models are the SV 650 and V-Strom 1050
