From The Saddle
All this adds up to an experience I'm not sure I
was expecting. The ride position is extremely
comfortable with the single-piece, high-rise
handlebar putting no weight on your wrists, and
the seat—although it doesn't look it—is plush
enough for long-ish days in the saddle (as long
as you don't mind filling up once or twice).
Suzuki USA quotes 147 horsepower out of
their Katanas and it feels every bit that number.
There's more than ample power from the K5-
derived motor, with an induction roar long gone
(Above) The Katana makes for a great canyon scratcher, with good comfort also offered while
on the freeway. (Below) That tiny 3.2-gallon tank looks good, if nothing else.
