Suzuki Katana reboot is pure 80s nostalgia and why I’m fine with that!

I admit it, I thought the Katana was just a bit of 80s throwback fun. Turns out it’s a WHOLE lot more than that and the Gixer 1000 engine at its heart is an absolute monster. Or at least it is for a rider of my experience levels! Watch me try to get to grips with it on a ride over the tops… Chapters: 0:00 – Introduction: what is the Katana? 0:43 – Leaning into the 80s! 2:02 – Onboard: well, I wasn’t expecting THIS! 4:08 – Onboard: heart of a Gixer! 6:14 – Onboard: this or just get a GSX-S1000? 7:47 – Onboard: electronics and rider assistance 10:11 – Verdict: just a styling exercise?
