2022 Suzuki Katana Design & Features
The Katana is a naked sports bike that found its name through a Japanese Samurai sword. Suzuki introduced the Katana in Japan back in 181. The production continued till 2006 before being discontinued.
The new 2022 bike resembles a similar design essence as its ancestors. The rectangular LED headlight is fixed with a semi-fairing. It is attached to the fuel tank via extensions that make it stand apart in the design.
The overall dimensions are big but the short wheelbase helps make for a swift city handler. The tail section is short while it embraces the fat rear tyres & the 4-1 side exhaust.
Suzuki is offering the Katana with a digital instrument panel that also comes with Bluetooth connectivity. Also, there are two different dual-tone colour options. One is a Metallic Stellar Blue with bronze alloy wheels, the other is a Solid Iron Gray with matt-black alloy wheels.
