The original Suzuki Katana—released in 1981 as a GSX1100S that was designed by BMW’s ex-chief of styling officer Hans A. Muth—began life as a performance-breed machine, one intended to satisfy the wants and needs of the passionate sport rider.
The motorcycle’s name derived from the Katana Japanese sword that features a single-edged curved blade with a long grip for two-handed use by the samurai.
For 2020 the Katana returned, this 1 owner from new example, comes complete with full book pack, main and spare keys. Full Suzuki dealer service history (3 Stamps) HPI clear and V5 present.
The bike is presented in outstanding condition and has clearly been highly maintained and loved by its one owner, from new.
Extras include a very smart tail tidy, taller tinted screen by Puig ad genuine Suzuki carbon style tank covers and fuel filler surround.
We love the bike, it is a very cool retro version of the original Katana but has 21st century power, suspension and brakes! We can deliver the bike, help with a courier or, of course meet you at our bike showroom and show you around it in person, have a coffee and a natter, just like it should be!
Call or email us with any questions, this is definitely the best example for sale at this price.
