Although Japan’s classic inspired sportsbike has not even been launched in certain regions (such as the US market), there are the first rumors that speak of a high-performance version of the Suzuki Katana.
Is a stronger Katana coming?
Because the Katana should compete with the current or upcoming high-performance naked bikes. But the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100, KTM 1290 Super Duke R or the upcoming Ducati Streetfighter V4 have much more power. With 150 hp the Katana missing about 30 hp.
The rumors speak of a Suzuki Katana R, which will be equipped with upgraded components in order to keep up with the competition. Instead of the 999cc four-cylinder engine, an aggregate with 1.135cc is to be used. Other parts, such as damping, brakes, electronics etc. should to be adapted.
