Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2019

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.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely independent look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

triple-adjustable traction control

good braking system

few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000
