Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2022

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2022

The new Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and is therefore convincing in all its quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. Visually, the Katana additionally has what it takes to become a classic; after all, it is the first to pick up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the high handlebars allow pleasant control. With its low front fairing, it doesn't become a distinct touring machine, but it certainly passes as a crossover bike that excellently combines retro, naked and touring.

Despite the common basis, the XJ appears much younger and more aggressive. A mid-cass motorbike that by no means makes you feel mid-range. Except for the swingarm, the motorbike appears quite high-quality and cool. The bike is a little easier to handle than the Diversion.
