The Suzuki GSX1000S Katana is an iconic naked sport-tourer produced from 1981 to 1985, shaped by the revolutionary design of Hans Muth at Target Design. The air-cooled 998cc four-cylinder DOHC engine with four valves per cylinder produced impressive power for its era, wrapped in a distinctive wedge-shaped fairing and futuristic handlebars. The Katana marked a clean break from Japanese motorcycle tradition and set a new design benchmark.
The Katana appeals to experienced riders who appreciate classic Japanese sportbikes with strong character. The half-fairing provides wind protection for longer journeys, while the compact dimensions also work in city traffic. It competes within the classic segment against the Honda CB900F and Kawasaki Z1000. Well-maintained examples are now sought-after collectibles.
