The KATANA’s dramatic bodywork rests upon a twin-spar, aluminum alloy frame, and Superbike-type braced swingarm that provides great road holding performance. The KATANA’s chassis provides easy control over the GSX-R-based engine and adds a comfortable riding position. The original Katana had a connection with the GS1100E while this new KATANA is built upon the proven, extraordinary performance of the long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine and the solid stability of the GSX-S1000 chassis. Both motorcycles blend a powerful Suzuki engine with radical styling and spirit of the traditional Japanese sword of the samurai. This new motorcycle was inspired by the original 1982 Suzuki Katana that created a sensation with the motorcycling world when it debuted. The new KATANA faithfully honors that commitment while finding a bold new expression for Suzuki technology and styling. © 2023 Suzuki Motor USA, LLC.Through its products, Suzuki has embraced Japanese culture and has found opportunities to celebrate beautiful, unique portions of its society and nature.

Study your owner's manual and always inspect your Suzuki before riding. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.

A unique, new gear position sensor sends shifter movement data to the ECM, so the Bi-directional Quick Shift system precisely responds to the rider’s actions.įor your safety, always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing when riding any motorcycle or ATV.

Performance of the KATANA’s SACS-style assist & slipper clutch ensures even smoother up- and down-shifts when using QS or manual clutch operation.

The bi-directional QS works seamlessly in concert with SDMS to bring riders even greater riding enjoyment.

The result of this hands-free, automatic blipping function combines seamlessly with engine braking to create a highly satisfying experience when downshifting. When decelerating, the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next lower gear.

To ensure smooth upshifts QS automatically interrupts power delivery just long enough to produce smooth, almost uninterrupted acceleration.

The new Bi-directional Quick Shift System (QS) allows the KATANA rider to shift up or down quickly and easily, without operating the clutch. The mode settings are clearly displayed on the LCD instrument panel. Using the mode and select switches on the left handlebar, the rider can change SDMS modes while riding.This mode is useful when riding on wet or slippery surfaces, or when the rider desires a relaxing, comfortable ride. Mode C (Comfort) offers a softer throttle response and more gentle torque characteristics, with power increasing in a directly linear fashion as the throttle is opened.Settings are tuned to fit a wide range of riding styles and conditions and to help suit the bike to typical riding situations. Mode B (Basic) is for general, all-around riding, as it features softer throttle response and a more linear power delivery curve as the rider opens the throttle.Mode A’s torque characteristics are finely tuned to deliver exciting acceleration when hitting the throttle hard, such as when participating in track day events or enjoying a sporty run on clean, winding roads in good weather. Mode A (Active) is for active, sporty use that delivers the sharpest throttle response as the rider opens the throttle.

These three modes (A, B, and C) provide the rider a quick and easy way to alter the KATANA’s power delivery characteristic to match his or her riding style, or adjust to changing weather, road, and other conditions.All three modes deliver maximum engine output but provide different throttle response and torque characteristics when accelerating. New to the KATANA is the inclusion of the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) that provides the rider a choice of three different engine power output modes.
