Doesn't everyone need an underpowered, under sprung sportbike look a like!

At least the newbies won't be strapped to a 100+ hp bike that will kill them shortly thereafter leaving said dealer!

 All I can find is just, 2019 Katana WALKAROUND!, videos.

Suppose to be a "Sport Tourer", and yet I have not seen any luggage or bags.

It is a still new motorcycle so the facts...or something similar to facts, should be leaking out pretty soon, along with lies dressed as truth.  ;)

In other words, typical hype.  :D

It would appear that Suzuki is following the CBS business model.  It's cheaper and easier than coming up with something creative and original.

It seems as though Suzuki wants to get in on the supercharging wave that Kawasaki has started along with a bit of the retro that other manufactures have in their line up. I would like to see the mfg's come out with 300-600 cc supercharged or turbocharged bikes. Even if they are limited production models. That was tried to some degree in the 80's but the technology was lacking to make a big impact.
