Suzuki Unveils Iconic KATANA and Additional 2019 Street Stunners

New Model Lineup Led by New Café Racer SV650X, V-Strom 1000XT Adventure and V-Strom 650XT Touring

Brea, CA (October 2, 2018) – In conjunction with Suzuki Motor Corporation’s (SMC) unveiling of the stunning KATANA at the INTERMOT Motorcycle Expo in Cologne, Germany, Suzuki Motor of America (SMAI) is proud to announce its remaining 2019 street models. Led by the new café racer inspired SV650X and adventure- and tour-ready, accessorized V-Strom XT models, Suzuki’s enhanced line of 2019 Motorcycle and ATVs offers the perfect model for riders of all tastes, skill, and experience levels. 

The original Katana 1100, introduced in 1981, combined in-line four cylinder big-bore sportbike performance with never-seen before styling that set a new benchmark in motorcycle aesthetics. Now paying tribute to that original breathtaking look, the new KATANA combines modern, state of the art performance with a retro, yet completely contemporary stance that harkens back to the original. Fans of the first model as well as younger riders who appreciate daring design will be drawn to this new KATANA. Coming as a 2020 model, the KATANA will be available in 2019.

The new café racer-styled V-twin SV650X immediately joins the Suzuki family loaded with new capabilities, a classic, yet fresh look, and a personality that make for an exciting ride ideally suited for urban roads, endless twisties, or even the racetrack.

Riders looking for added escape and inspiration will love the new V-Strom 1000XT Adventure and V-Strom 650XT Touring models. Now available with a host of useful adventure and touring accoutrements, both V-Strom XT models can cross town – or the country – with ease.

Built to thrill new riders with fun and reliability, the new, urban athlete GSX250R ABS debuts with features that continue its value sportbike positioning as it becomes the most intelligent choice in its class, thanks to the addition of ABS.

In addition, significant upgrades are applied to the GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000X models and the SV650/650 ABS V-twin sportbikes while the GSX-S1000 and GSX-S750Z/750 ABS sportbikes, the V-Strom 1000 and 650/650XT models, the line of Boulevard cruisers, the Burgman scooters, and the classically styled TU250X all return with daring new eye candy, including colors and graphics.

The Suzuki KATANA

This is not a retro-styling exercise but a modern performance motorcycle that is destined to be as revolutionary as the original KATANA. Of course, its name comes from the sleek and beautifully crafted Japanese sword known as a katana. Inspired by the same artisan spirit demonstrated by Japanese swordsmiths, Suzuki’s development team tested and tuned each component until they were satisfied the KATANA would deliver the optimal balance of power, comfort and control. At the heart of the KATANA’s performance is a new version of the championship winning long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine. Heading out on the road, riders will immediately appreciate the KATANA’s agility and rider-friendly nature. Maneuvering its compact, lightweight chassis around bends instills confidence and brings pure pleasure. The seat and optimized riding position are designed to enhance controllability and keep riders comfortable on longer outings so they will want to ride the KATANA all day long. With the 2020 KATANA, Suzuki repeats and rewrites history at the same time.

*Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

**The traction control system is not a substitute for the rider’s throttle control. It cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when the rider enters a turn and/or applies the brakes. Nor can it prevent the front wheel from losing grip.

Note: The street motorcycles listed in this document are covered by Suzuki’s On-road, 12-month Limited Warranty.
