The Katana was introduced by Suzuki back in 1981 and the production for the street bike continued until 2006. Suzuki resurrected the iconic name last year.

The Suzuki Katana was more of a street bike for people who are not looking for sharp dynamics like that of the GSX-S1000. The company was supposed to showcase the updated and refreshed version of the Katana at the Tokyo and Osaka motorcycle shows but they got cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
