See The Suz ki Kala a ·AI o says one motorcycle can't provide the performance of a sport . bike and the comfort of a long distance machine? At Suzuki. we believe one motorcycle can do bath. And to prove it. we built three: The Katana 600, 700. and 1100. The critically acc laimed Katana line refelects our ongoing commitment to a simple idea: That a motorcycle should be as diverse as the roads it is likely to encounter. W The resu lt: Aerodyna mically designed fairings that slip t hrough the wind and reduce turbu lence in t he cockpit for inc reased highway comfo rt .

And the perfo r. mance of eng ines buil t to the same exacting standards as the GSX-R eng ines that have dominated U.S. road raci ng for the past four years. Ka tana 600 While some sport bi kes offer slnqle-puroose performance a t t he expense of versatility, The Katana 600's balance of performance, comfort and convenience makes it the new standard by wh ich others are measured.
